Started on some spring paint jobs on the car.
The rear bumper had been repainted badly at some point and the paint had cracked. So first job is sanding back.
I hoped it would only need that half painting however the closer I looked the more I realized the whole bumper needs doing. So off it came.
Also sorted some surface rust on the A Pilar. I’ll paint at the same time as the bumper.
Probably another few hours of prep needed before I’ll hit it with some primer on another sunny day.

Nice one Tom, good to see you done the whole bumper, sometimes the only way.
I had finished my house move to the Dengies, so if you fancy a meet up let me know.

Yeah it worked out to be the only way forward.
Sounds good man! The weather is starting to pick up which is a blessing.
Managed to get the rear bumper & a pilar painted this morning. Happy with the results.
I had some yellow left so also gave the bonnet blister a quick once over. I’ll paint the whole bonnet at a later date.
Next up. A cut and polish to get it shining!

Excellent work.
Spent a few hours on it today thanks to some unexpected good weather.
A Pilar has turned out great. Bumper has had a fair amount of wet sanding before getting to cut and polish. So it’s slow going. The bonnet I’m not overly happy with. Blend is not great and it’s not my finest work but half decent as a stop gap.
Plan to continue some of the evenings this week.

That's really brought it to life! Do you use a ceramic coat afterwards?
Great work Tom, looking good!
today looks to be the only bright day of the weekend. Took a trip out to Pumashacked to say hello. Turns out they did some work on the car prior to my ownership and answered some questions I had. Super nice guys 
Got some photos on the way.

Sorted a pinched fuel line today. Dropped a 3/4 full tank just a bit to let me re route the line. Thankfully no dramas.
Also p clipped the rear beam wiring. (I assume it’s for ABS)
Couple of small jobs ticked off.
All in all a solid weekend
