Looks very good!
Looking great Pete I like the storage in the tub, be great for a road trip perhaps[bigwhistle]
Your next challenge will be glazing those corner windows...I whimped it and masked the lot on my truck cab.
Your roof looks great I think I will redo mine, I kinda thought dents show history but maybe they show a job half done
Cheers Paul
I noticed you removed it, nows the time...!
I only showed the roof from the good side. I seem to be able to get a reasonable finish on the smaller curvy areas, large flat bits like the roof centre and the bonnet defeat me.
It should all be sanded off and done again.
...but I’m not going to.
It’s a tough call and one I’m glad I don’t have to make. I think those of us who are in the game one way or another will understand the why fore’s or where fore’s involved and thus not judge one way or the other.Quote:

With my reglazing on Jade I used diluted dishwashing liquid as a lubricant (flat glass panes)
In future I think I’ll use Corona, if it works on curved it’ll work on flat[bigsmile][bigsmile]
looking good your nearly there
Cheers Paul
Ey Corona she iz good, yez??
One needs a good lubricant for jobs like these...
but yes dishwashing liquid for the windows. [bigrolf]

Well if you don't want things seizing up, I'd agree.:rolleyes:
Hello all.
A long time ago (4 years ago!) I posted this picture as a kind of light hearted idea of how I’d like this to look like when finished.

Apart from the shiny shiny paint job I think I got closer than I expected, way back when.
I am now very happy to announce....
B4RNEY has passed RWC and is now registered and on the road, well, legally now!
Of of course all is not over. Coming back from the inspection station it blew out one of those aluminium plugs in the head and dribbled it’s life juices down the road. But it wasn’t far and I got it home at under 90 degrees. I’ll take that up with the engine rebuilders. I know it was 4years ago but it’s only got 30 miles on it.
So a batch of finally finished shots for you...
the canvas is on it way. And the spare tyre will be going on the bonnet.

My heartfelt thanks to everybody on this great forum who helped me through this. Without your good advice and encouragement, and patiently putting up with my stupid questions, this would still be a pile of parts
Also gratitude to lots of local businesses and people who i dealt with who showed genuine interest in what I was doing.
So now I have reached this inevitable point, the question must be asked... what the hell do I do now????
