Whoop-whoop, I have had an update through from Ed the man.
Fester the beetle was wheeled out into the sun while the garage was cleared out;
This will be the last time it will see daylight while in grey primer as it was wheeled back in and the body lifted back off the pan;
Ready for masking up to have the inner arches coated in stone chip;
Current plan is to have the shell in primer by tomorrow then top coat can start.
I now have seat covers ordered but thanks to brexit it could cost about £50-£70 more than it would have depending how well the pound climbs in the next 4 weeks.
Other jobs needing done;
Paint the back of the bumpers
get the steering wheel re-covered in leather
get the engine down to Ed's
get wheels up for powder coating
find somewhere that will seal and powdercoat the fuel tank
Shouldnt be too long now before it all looks to be coming back together.
Dave.
