I called in to the body shop today - the prep work is now complete and the front and rear boots (deck lids) have received a first coat of paint. The plan over the next 2 weeks is to spray the car first in black 2 pack paint and then flat down. After this it will be sprayed in black base coat and then clear lacquer.
The 2 pack will give depth of paint and the clear over base the final high quality finish. Baring any unforseen urgent jobs at the bodyshop all should be finished by the month end at the latest. keep those fingers crossed!
We were at the Stanford Hall meeting last weekend - couldn't go in our 65 model 344 as it sprang a fuel pump leak. Neil Shone was there in his 344 which he recently purchased from Chris Wright - here is a picture of it. I bored everyone at the meeting by telling them I nearly bought the car in 1982 for £1,200 but couldn't afford it, so bought our green 65 which wasn't in as good condition but was cheaper at £850.
