Painting

It's been too hot and humid to do much in the garage, but there have been some cooler days in the last little while, and so have been painting more of the smaller Pastel Green parts...plus the bulkhead. Sanding the primer took a long time, as there are a lot of surfaces there! However, last night and today it was finally cool enough to apply paint to the bulkhead - the first time it's been rust-free and entirely back in its original colour in well over 30 years.

In case you're wondering, the square hole on the top of the passenger-side footwell is for the Kodiak Mk.II heater.

As I can't use the outside to work, everything is in the garage. This makes things a little crowded, but actually quite manageable. At least it's a two-car garage! Everything not being worked on at this stage has a plastic cover, due to the paint spraying.
