Well some progress over the weekend... Prepped up the shell for paint, sorted any rust spots although its pretty mint as it had a respray about 3 years ago. Rubbed the whole thing down by hand, 400 dry. Then on with the primer. Didnt get any pics but Im sure you can picture a Ka in primer!

Then I turned my attention to the doors and tail gate. These Ka doors are flippin heavy! So out with the grinder! (sorry dont have a before pic)



Not having a panel stand or even a proper trestle I had to make do with a kiddies home work desk I stole







While all this primer was drying I had to make a decission on colour. And it has been decided.












Satin Black

I gave the door and tail gate shuts a quick dry rub then coloured them with satin black being sure to flick some on to the outer panels for a good fade in when I spray the out side.



And then the same to the inside of the door.



Once dried fitted the door back on so it dont get damaged and tucked it away in the corner all wrapped up again.



Just got to do the other door and the tail gate then spray the whole out side of the car

Been thinking about wheel colour now, they are the Escort Devil ones
white
black
leave them silver?

Also got some Cossie Latice wheels away for refurb they would look hard in satin black too.
