Ambers body makeover started today



John from luton came and helped Steve take all the bits off under my watchful eye as i cooked dinner for them, hopefully she will be sprayed in a couple of weeks time .

Just got to get all the bits to put her back together again now , got a another better door off ebay today ,so that will be put on before she goes in too . And bought another engine today too for steve to rebuild through the winter !!

....and how delicate you'll be putting it all back on, trying desparately not to scratch your new paintwork. It comes off easier than it goes back on!! It'll all be worth it.

Did you use the hammer to knock of the bumper? [:D]

Good luck with the respray, but as a warning don't get carried away to much [:P]

At least you have good taste according to the chosen colour, see which one's green first, yours or mine [:)]

How are you going in dismantling the car for the respray?
Make sure all known rustspots are checked thoroughly

John , thanku for your help, just been looking on internet for all the little bits i need , poor amber all stripped under that cover , she might not want to run again lol!! zoe

Zoe, I'm really surprised at you. I didn't think you were the type
of lady to threaten poor Amber, with a sledge hammer, if her nuts
wouldn't come undone.

Shame on you, Oh, & good luck with it all.

Good Luck with the makeover.

When's Amber due back on the road then?

Adam, hopefully will be done and ready to go by the end of november all being well, maybee sooner , im female , we 'cant wait' for these sort of things, have to be done quickly !! maybe see u at Ace cafe 2nd tuesday in december for her first 'Triton' outing !!zoe

Hi Zoe,

I'm just wondering, are you going to sand the paint and spray on top, or remove the old paint completely?

Also looking at your pics, your car seems to go from blue to triton green and back to blue again!!

And can you take some photos during the colour change and post them on here, it will be good to see.

Cheers Dave

Dave , my car was origionaly triton green , then sprayed blue , and now im going back to triton green, and as for how far back they strip it ,will be down to what they find when they start ,zoe

Zoe, my sledge hammer is never far away either but never had to use it yet.[:)]
