Worked on stripping paint and hammering out a few dents tonight.



This corner is in pretty bad shape.




Up top. This will all be cut out and new metal welded in.


Exhaust cut out all mangled.


After a little work with a hammer and dolly.




DIRTY.


A wire wheel on the grinder works good for stripping paint, but you end up a human pin cushion.




Both of those were stuck in my skin about 1/4".

Is the car going to be red again?

No, going with some form of British Racing Green with all the trim and bumpers blacked out.

I had a booster in high school. Not worried about it though, this isn't the first time this has happened and I puncture myself rather often with various objects. lol

Sweet! I love that color!!!!

[AndrewBird]

This is some of my inspiration:



No yellow for me though. Want it to end up kind of stealth with the dark green and all black.

This one too:

[JasonC]

I like the yellow, but alot of people dont like that color. So you're going with a nonmetallic or yes? I like the car better in green myself.

[AndrewBird]

It will be non-metallic. Closer to the first picture with the yellow stripe, but a bit less foresty. Haven't gotten to the point of picking out an exact color yet though.

[AndrewBird]

This is kind of close to what I have in mind:

[Simon S]

lol at the wire shrapnel..

but the funniest part is that you stopped to grab a camera before extraction(s).

[AndrewBird]

I actually finished working on the car for the night before I even noticed they were stuck in me.

I was sitting downstairs in my house reading a Hemmings and dreaming about a few MG's in it, when I remembered this thread. I came to look at it for a refresh and there was new updates! Keep up the good work man, the way you spend time making everything perfect is something to look up to.

Thanks! It means a lot.

I know this has pretty much nothing to do with what you're doing to yours, but have you seen this build?

It's a pretty cool read if nothing else. I stumbled upon it the last time I almost bought a GT haha.
