The Daily Driver - 56k no go!

[andrewg1323]

So How the day started

Floors definately black and definately too shiney



Carpet Midway through recolouring



Le Spraybooth with primer on stuff



Inspirational shot to remind me how good satin black on yellow looks




Slipped the wiring loom in and figued it'd be rude not to fit the rear lights to give me some moe motivaiton




Then as Coldplay said Its all Yellow









Then at 4:40ish The sun finally made it to me....


Sunroof in for colour check, yes that's dust/overspray all over it, gotta love working in a small garage with no ventilation! Came out alright considering i sprayed it in the dark....


Panel gaps what panel gaps...



Oh and The Exhaust, Gonna give it the noise it so needs....

[Ghia15]

Keep it up.

Looks like you are really making progress.

[andrewg1323]

lol It needs progress the MOT is gonna be in 35 days....

[andrewg1323]

25 days to go....


Tailgate done



Engines Manual at last

[Peter-S]

25 days eh, or 24 now I guess. Are you optimistic then?

[andrewg1323]

Starting to worry about how i;m gonna get it all done with so many bits missing...


Gonna get the spares car home next week

[Capri_Andy]

Exciting times. Mines just a few months behind yours, I'm aiming to finish it in time for CRAP. Are you going to be there?

Looking great by the way, some rapid progress!

[Beakster]

Great work Andrew, love the colour. Are you going to put that Horse grille ornament back on when its done? What happened to your Capri that has the Zetec engine in it?

[andrewg1323]

CRAPs looking possible

Horse ornaments long gone!
Zetec capri is in storage and will hopefully be coming home next week, mainly so i can rob anything i;ve lost off it...

on a plus note i found the front calipers in the wardrobe earlier

[andrewg1323]

20 days to go....

[blitzy]

If I am correct the MOT date has been and gone by my guess around 2 weeks ago so come on then?

[andrewg1323]

lol yeah gave up a week ago as had too many other commitments unfortunately

was having to cut corners to get it done so decided to put it on hold till i get back from honeymoon and get it done right...

Well that was until last week when i was told i didnt have to work my notice as i quit my job last week which gave me all this week to do the car

Then the phone rang at 8:45 this morning calling me into the new job early so i;m now working all week and back to ignoring the car!

Current wet weathers been a huge holdup not having anywhere to work inside to paint other than the garage is a nightmare, with the rain and a car with no doors means i cant stick that outside so its been slow progress

[Major_Tom]

That is lovely mate.. mmmmmmmmm, yellow and black, there is nothing better. Well.. apart from black and black of course

[andrewg1323]

Found a car on my drive the other today, forgot i owned it, had been sat under a cover since last october with battery still connected, took jump leads in anticipation but turns out i didnt need em the bloody thing only started!

Moved to workshop to eventually finish and the 2 were reunited for the first time in 5 years

[Peter-S]

So it didn't make the wedding then! How about another deadline and bring it to Marston in July

[andrewg1323]

Nah no deadlines now just gotta get it done!
Working for myself now so got it in the workshop so everytime i get half hour and some enthusiasm i;m on it!

[Rosso Russ]

Cars looking really great mate, keep up the good work, love the Yellow, really suits the MK3.
