Tidying Up

As the welding stage comes to an end, we get to the "it is starting to look better" phase. It really is amazing how much of a boost can be had by getting things into one colour. I am blessed here as, by some miracle, the red oxide primer I am using has a striking resemblance to the TR7's original Flamenco paint.

TOP TIP! If you are feeling down because your car looks like a jumble sale of colour, rub it down and apply some paint (preferably red oxide, but not if your car is in Triton Green as that will induce nausea). It will make you feel like you have made massive gains.

Oh, and buy a vacuum cleaner from a car boot sale and keep it in the garage for sucking up the dust that inevitably accumulates in your restoration project.
