some of you may know that ive bin preppin my mates cabby over the past year for a full repaint. ive bin doin this on his drive using aerosol primers etc, which i wouldnt normally use as i work in a bodyshop n normaly use 2k primers in booths with guns etc etc, however due to lack of this facility, my mates drive was the only place it cud happen, anyway i painted the car on saturday 26th july 2008, the car hasnt moved off his drive in 2 yrs until now.
heres the pics of wot it looked like thru the stages until satday when i took it into my workshop and painted it.
the car was in a slow collision with a parked vehicle bout 3 yrs ago, and was straightend and had 2 new wings fitted, front panel, second hand bonnet n front bumper, it stayed like this for about a year, lookin pretty naff, but dickin most cars on the road lol.then my mate had some pisshead kick his drivers door in, which resluted in £150 compensation in which he bought a second hand door.
then my mate bought another car n the cabbys restoration began.
those were taken jus before the car came off the road bout 2 yrs ago.
these pics below are from staurday, when the car was pretty much ready for paint.
this is Naylor who owns the cabby, he will be coming to ford fair with me in this on sunday
The colour is electric blue, a BMW Mini colour. it cam out better than i ever thought it cud, i avnt painted for over 2months too, as ive bin off work due to that leg op, n this is my first paint job since.
jus waitin on more pics wen its built up(wheels, mirrors window moulding etc), its got its mot tomoz evening so will update then
comments welcome
