Carl's Mk 4 Roadster Build

[carlewms]

Folks,

It has been a while since I have been able to work on the car or post up any progress. A lot has happened to the this Olde Goat ... pacemaker installation and aortic valve replacement were the big ones. The recovery has gone well so I finally was able to get back in the garage.

Folks,

This is a very overdue post ... the work was actually done at the beginning of the month.

While I am spending most of my time in NC on the project of rebuilding our home on the coast ... I did get a chance to finish the Slick Sand sanding to 180 grit before coming back down to continue work. This mean that I have applied at least three coats of Slick Sand and sanded it to shape on the body, doors, trunk lid and hood.

Here are some photos:









As I sanded and inspected the body I continue to find areas to fix ... here are a few of the minor but irritating ones ...





Of course here is the worst or most scary part of the work ...



I will be fully dressed out for the painting of the really bad stuff ...
