Red Rallye resto

[Ben_w]

Had a bit of a lie in in the end after another rubbish nights sleep thanks to the storms....

Anyways, got up, had a cup of tea and was bored. So I went and did some more painting. Stepson came round to see how i was so as I couldn't drive, I sent him to the local motor factors for a spray can of black gloss paint. Ends of the beam needed a little more...





Really, really happy with the finish on this tube considering what I started with. As good as any other I've seen. Definitely worth the time and effort filling and smoothing etc. Paint has gone on very well indeed too.

Had as couple of quotes on galvanising the two mount brackets....lot of money for just two bits so decided I would zinc prime and paint silver.

Parts in the custom spray booth.....



Both zinc primed and drying in the sun. Paint them silver tomorrow and probably lacquer the beam tube.



I'm now going to rest for the rest of the day. Fire up the BBQ, have several cold ciders and relax!!
