    I love the size of that shed, google earth would have trouble getting it all into one frame.

    Here's a map of Australia and there is 'olmates' shed.

    Funnily enough Easo I thought the same thing yesterday when I was told that I may have to move at the end of the year ...(God - I love that shed - I am going to miss it - where the hell am I going to put all my stuff now!! )

    Its alright tho - I reckon I have another twelve months after some discussion

    Thats it - I am back into it and feeling great too .
    Have rubbed down the first coat and washed it all ready for the next coat tomorrow. I must admit, it isn't looking (or feeling) too bad. Smooth enough and she may even come up nicely. And I have remembered Ian to paint the bonnet support black (shall do that some time over the weekend)

    Well the second coat is on and I cant wait to rub it back and get the next coat onto it it just is screaming out for the third coat but looking pretty good now.

    Guards are looking good now but still need a bit more colour to finish them off nicely





    Get these things good enough and then I will put them on the vehicle and get into the doors, tailgate and bonnet - Cant wait

    The dark photos make my paint job look brilliant A third coat and some 1200 wet and dry with a polish to finish her off - she might look good.

    Well I have had enough for the day and I am now enjoying a beer The grille is on and I have got the front end where it should be. Not a lot to it but it took a long time as I had to continue with my other project (the Wifes kitchenette outside in the BBQ area)




    And this bit is coming along too .....

    Paul - you are a real thinker mate I shall run it past the missus .... But I doubt I will get the A-OK She is looking at some hard finish that will go with the rest of the place. Just means more work for this bloke.

    Do this side her way, then do the other side as a full size S1 painting and see how long it takes for her to notice.
