Tub Exterior Painted

Another area of the gold colour applied by the previous owner some 35 years ago has disappeared. Today the tub returned completely to its colour of origin for the first time in more than three decades, with the sanding down, masking off and then painting of the exterior sides.  Now just have to be patient for a few days and then the doors and sill panels can go on - although the door seals may have to go on first.

Here, the doors are in the tub to stay out of the way, and continue their own drying process. Note the backs of the Exmoor Trim seats, which are pretty ugly and un-finished looking compared to the originals. May have to see if I can do something there. Planks on the garage floor remind my feet not to come too close to drying paint.

Not the best lighting, as I was just on my way out, but she certainly seems to be coming along. Angle grinder is on the bumper as there is a small bit of metal that must come off the bulkhead where it meets the floor on the driver's side, as it's impeding the placing of the final spire nut: tomorrow's job.
