Maiden voyage after all the repairs, made it a whole 3 meters.

 

 

Its is a very strange sensation to have a full clutch.

 

 

 

 

And this little prick of a thing, still no idea what its out of.

Paint acquired, 2/3 the cost of my last paint job at a grand total of $120. ($66 just for paint)

Keen to see how the paint job turns out. How much work do you put into sanding/buffing the paint after you've painted it?

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Zero effort. It'll get roughed up with a green kitchen scrubber to remove all flaky bits then straight on. And as its a matte paint I doubt I'll even give it a finishing sand unless there are major lines from the rollers. This paint job is purely to get it all one colour, easy to touch up, easy to keep clean and best of all dirt cheap.

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Put two hours in tonight, got all the pinstripes, plastic door trims and stickers off. Felt bad peeling off an original Spirit sticker :(

Stole some industrial prep-sol from work which worked wonders on the sticky residue left behind
