15x7 on the front, 15x8 at the rear. The floor has been stripped, fish oiled and painted black. Just a few little spots around to fix, no wonder replacement panels are available now[:u] I'm trying to alternate the work on it when i get the chance. The body has had a few hours of sanding, i have a $hitload to go. Maybe i can get a few sacked King Gee workers to rub it down?

Fixing the house walls is the easy part. Over spray onto other cars would be painful. It's undercoat, it will dust off easily. The Garage is my place in the house. As long as I'm not cleaning greasy parts in the dishwasher i am fine.

Lucky you, I had to twist an arm and a leg for me to be able to pull mine apart in the garage, usually it has to go over to my old mans.

An hour a day, after a day working, sometimes is the hardest part of our day.

I can't believe it's been 12 months since my crash.    Might help if i close my door next time. I just spent the weekend fitting the light assemblies and the nosecone. Fitting the bonnet to open nice was a pain. Just need to sand the nosecone and i will be ready for paint. Time duz fly when your having fun.
