Starting to sort out the mess

So, it's been a while since I updated this, but the project is far from dead.....weather hasn't really been much of a team player, as well as working more over Christmas, means that I haven't spent as much time as I would have liked on the Capri.

Here are some pictures of the ruined paintwork, after the lacquer frosted over:
 



I have rubbed the car completely back down though. This picture is the front offside wing after being rubbed down (it's still wet from sanding it, so the water is kind of acting as lacquer....not to bad really)


Also got some new parts while I haven't been able to respray it:

Mk1 Capri badge

Pressed plates

Sparco gear knob

Got some things painted in the bit of sun we actually have had: The headlight backing plates and covers are done, and the BMW angel eyes are in place, also got the door handles painted aswell.
All the trim pieces will be done satin black, as will the new bumpers.




Will update this the next time I manage to get something else done.
