Elan rebuild May 09

Carrying on from where I left off in the last post. The Elan is coming together bit by bit and is now ready to be masked up ready for the first coat.

Here it is - still with the old registration and the roll hoops not fitted.

Masking a car for painting in a booth is a laborious pain in the butt job. I think you would need to have the patience of Job to do this on a regular basis.

Here it is fully masked and being painted by Kieth who is originally from Louth - near Cadwell Park - one of my favourite tracks.

Next thing is for all those awkward items to be sprayed hanging up in the booth - Spoiler, bumper and bonnet.

This is a frustrating time for me as the car comes together slowly.
