    so when the primer had dried ( and yes the brother rubbed down that nasty run on the bonnet lol ) we started applying a 50 / 50 mix of body shuts ( stone chip ) and waxoil to the inside of the wings , we also made sure to get a rel good coating in all the nooks and crannys and where we had welded in the new sections of steel to the mudguard .

    Hey Greendragon,

    Any updates......... I think I'm starting to have withdrawal symptoms waiting for my next "fix" of your restoration work! :-)

    the brother had painted the chocolate on the front axle during the week so i got a few sneaky snaps before he masked her up fully !

    the owner was down this morning and he spotted a wee bit of rust on the inner wing inside the cab which he wanted done so we tackled that and also done a job on the front lights which had gotten very white and cloudy over the years so we washed them out with white spirits and got them ready for paint .

    Is that a hospital bed you are using as a worktable? Great idea!! You can even adjust the height!

    and finally for today we blew in the inner wings with terracotta , wasn't sure how this would look over the body shuts but i think it came out nice and those extra layers of paint will stand to the rust proofing for years to come hopefully .

    well we got at the cab today as promised , we gave it 4 full coats of terracotta just to be sure and i do think she looks well but its hard to tell under the artificial light , the daylight will tell the tale for sure , any way we started by erecting a temporary scaffolding which we had to move around to each side of the cab as the brother sprayed it , tricky enough for each coat but it worked out well , some pictures .

    so we are also doing a full restoration on a FORD 5030 at the same time , it was meant to start before Christmas but time constraints limited this but we have decided that with the fiat being so far on we could get stuck into the ford now aswell .

    anyway here is a link to the new thread ive started on it and stay tuned for more pics to follow as we progress .

    Fantastic work, you should have a TV program. I would happily watch a program which shows such a high level of skill and insight. Keep up the work.
