Getting ready for a respray
« Thread Started on Feb 9, 2009, 9:41pm »

Thought I'd share some pics of the Bay that I've been getting ready for a respray. Not easy when your'e lying on snow

Got a new pair of doors been sprayed inside and out, should be ready for the weekend.
Finally getting round to finishing all the little jobs properly. The front panel needed a fair bit of panel beating but I happy with the shape now.

Got a new pair of bumpers back from the powder coaters and the roofrack is off for a recondition.

Not done much this month.
Got the doors back from the sprayer who's done the inside and out in white and I got my back bumper back from the powder coaters. Now I've got a pair that match.
All I've got to do now is pop the windows out and spray the whole thing!!
Will keep you posted.

Well the white paints on, and here's the yellow!!
Now all I need is to refit it all in one day! so I can take it to Stanford on sunday. Anyone who wants to swing by and join in is more than welcome and will be rewarded handsomely. Bacon butties and lager is the salary of the day. Seriously though, HELP!!!!!-Neil&Totie.
