24.03.2017 Operation Respray Phase 2

Respraying a van isn't as simple as it sounds.  For the ladies (and maybe some men) that are reading this it is like preparing for a night out.... washing, exfoliating, scrubbing, moisturising, primer...and that's before we even start on the concealer, foundation and setting powder.  Austin has undergone a mini facelift himself; his bodywork and the noticeable corrosion from 20 years of neglect has been filled, sanded, re-filled, re-sanded and his shell is almost as smooth as the day he was made.  We have finally decided on a colour and are going for a traditional finish.  Phase 2 is well under way with the whole exterior undergoing the recommended two coats of grey primer (minimum).  Rome wasn't built in a day and if we are to transform a battered little van we need to give him the care and attention he rightly deserves.
