That we need to see!

It is exactly like I’m not putting it in properly. I’m guessing the next move is to look at the selector (after I check clutch)

Great. On my way to work today and 2nd gear doesn’t want to play. It’s grinding and not selecting at all. I can get into it from neutral, but not up or down from 1st or 3rd. bugger

Ok. Will do

Ok great stuff. thank you. I’ll post pictures as I go.

Ok. Will do

What about sanding between coats? I’ve got some 1200.

Ok. Will do

Oh wow. That's a long time. Thanks, I definitely would not have done that

I rubbed it down again and did some better filling and I managed to get a coat of paint on today, the wind is really not helping. It's definitely going to be an improvement to the bubbling splitting mess it was and the other touch up bits will make a big difference. I also treated it all to help with the rust. (i'm trying to convince myself i'm not just bodging it, I can hear Fuzz Townshend disapproving from the future) Once i've done the final coat is there a good polish for freshly done cellulose paint that will help my less than professional job shine? I've got some AutoGlym Super Resin and some MER somewhere I think. Thanks for the tips!

Ok. Will do

I'll do it tomorrow afternoon. Weather looks promising.

I'll get it all done properly one day.

That's it for today. Too windy for the paint coats. Pretty pleased with it as a bit of a bodge. E02BFE21-

I once heard “grinder and paint make me the welder I ain’t” it’s actually my first proper try. So I’m actually quite pleased. On last sand and it’ll be paint time

NO ZOOMING! 😂

Mr brush didn’t make it

As you can see from this extreme close up I’ve done a great job

I’ll have a look. I feel like I can weld in a plate and then fill over. Let’s see!

I found metal!

maybe I could weld a plate on there. My welding skills are very poor though. Also i'm on the road and there's a bloody van parked outside my house so i'm outside a neighbour's and her children are playing outside! Dammit I need a garage!

Well that made the decision for me

I’m looking to do some remedial bodywork here on the bottom of my B post. Just to slow down the rust as much as I can and make it look better. I don’t like the look of this at all. should I pull it off and treat underneath and fill and paint or sand it and treat and fill it?

Primarni 😂

I really didn’t want to cut a hole in the dash, so I think this is a good alternative. Much cheaper too. if the clock proves too unreliable I’ll probably get another of the same. I like how it’s Jaegar like the rest of my dash.
