yeah i gave the areas a rub back to start with before i put the bog on, you are talking about the pics with the pink bog right ? ....

the bog is only coving up little spots where rust was starting to show or coving up cracks in the paint from when the owner before me had painted it........

the rear door of the wagon was like that when i got it, still have to fix that up.

i'm so hating this weather, yesterday was nice so got out there and worked on the wagon, then thinking today that i could get out and do some more before going to work, and what do i find .....its raining...... :(

anyway......as you can see by the above pics, i've started spraying her matt black, going this colour for now as still working out the final colour, was thinking two-tone but still not sure.....

still got a bit of work on the engine to do before it can go back in....still waiting for some hose fittings to turn up so i can hock heater up....... also have to jack her up and spray under her to......

hopeful weather will be fine rest of week so i can work on her...... :D

i was going to leave it orange but i got overspray in the bay in areas that i couldn't fix up by respraying them orange again so black it is until i get her up and running and work out then what to do for the true colour......

on a down side, found that where i had put my dash at my sisters house the heat got to it and has cracked it again as well as it must of moved at some stage as now it has a hole in the top off it where something has been leaning on it....... :cry: :cry: not happy with that
