Saturday night...
Prime time viewing 
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Looks like your car's in hospital for an operation ! You have the knowledge, experience and the right equipment for the job. No reason it
shouldn't turn out brilliant.
looking forward to the pics of the finished job.

GMTBH, remember, its over 10 years since I picked up a gun!

It's probably a few years since I got in a swimming pool, but I'm sure I can still swim.
Have confidence Mark, what you might call a slightly "iffy" paint job would probably put us amateurs to shame.

Back home now, paint under my fingernails, worn out. I used an accelerator to speed up the high build so I didn't need to bake it (another
45mins).

Wouldn't it have been easier to remove the wheels to get to the panels behind them?

Literally just finished, Mike, there is loads of room to get the gun in and that area is hidded by the arches anyway, if I was going to do the side
panels, all the front suspension would have to come off......sod that for a game of soldiers!

I am really pleased, I haven't painted in ages, I got one big run on the rear panel in the clearcoat (easily nibbed out). The colour goes REALLY
well with the chrome, I put the edging back on the bonnet. 20 hours work but well worth it, just got to put it all together now!

Very nice job Mark, not picked up a gun in 10 years ? Guess there are some things you just don't forget eh ?
Seriously that blue looks really good, you must be close to finishing the car now.

That does look very nice.
I've been tempted to get mine sprayed and now I know the colour I would go for!

When finished the car will be doing quite high mileages so I don't think a bike engine would cope, I think the pinto will be staying for a while
(until I find a Lancia thema 8.32!!)
