lol thanks ;) Bumper alone took about a week to get it like that - strip (several layers of paint!) and then a lot of of blocking, then adding material to get it flat. Still need to give a few area's attention with liquid gold to get rid of a few pinholes and imperfections. Then the fenders need to get blocked and get the same attenion. When will it end :cry: Oh and then sort the brake lines, get a new fuel line run, get the tank back in, get the exhaust built. Still need to retrim the rear seats. Oh and primer and paint. Still need to block the rest of the car as i stripped back 3 different colours of paint chemically. Now left with 1 respray and the original factory colour. Currently the car is in 80 grit, so should get rid of the second paint job with 120 grit, then when i'm at the 240 / 320 grit stage i should have it back to factory paint / factory primer. :wall:

Hi Stu, a friend of mine used to be a rep in a ski resort & thoroughly enjoyed it, how long do you stay out there for at a time? the weathers just plain cold & frosty here at the moment, but going out in the car for a run later, so long as it's not icy. The wife's left me a list of things to do around the house, the trouble is as soon as I finish one list another magically appears........weird :lol: :wtf:


cheers,...Nige
I was only supposed to be in Meribel for 3 weeks then a week in Nice, but I got an offer to work with another act for 2-3 weeks back in the snow, so here I am.. This band are here for the whole season, more than 4 months, and their third year doing it..
It is a great way to spend winter, especially if you're a skier or snowboarder, but it's also hard work in this temperature and altitude constantly.. getting stuck after snowfall is a constant issue, as we're talking serious amounts and driving up mountains to get to the jobs. ..
