Critical Path - Part 2:
The top brackets just needed to be sanded down before getting a coat of etch primer.
But I wanted to strengthen the bottom brackets, so cut small sections of metal out for both.
Not my neatest bit of welding, but it will do the job and thankfully will not be seen.
Some more sanding later and these were in primer too.
The final job of the day was to sand down the bottom mounting plates in the boot.
Now I just need to used the brackets to mark up where to re-drill the bolt holes.
Unfortunately, I seem to have run out of etch primer, so I'll get some more tomorrow.
Then I can do the final preparations on the boot rain channel before starting to paint it.
- The mounting plates & rain channel inside edges will be black and done now.
- But the edges next to the body work will be BRG and they will be done later.
Overall, some steady progress towards finishing the last few jobs on the body shell.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
