\"RoofWhite.jpg\"<\/p>\n

I had a few hours free the other night, so sanded the roof down ready for painting in white. Once it was all flattened I washed it off a few times, then wiped it with a tack rag ready to paint. I sprayed it and made a poor job of it, so left it to dry. The next night I sanded it smooth again, then re-washed it all and had another go. I did a much better job of it this time, although there is still a few patches I’m not happy with, so I may sand it and re-do those. Practice makes perfect and all that. I bought some metal polish as well, and set about cleaning the manifold and supercharger ready for rebuilding. It’s in a sorry state, and in places is very badly pitted. I wet and dried the worst of the scratches, then polished it all for a few hours. It looks much better than when I got it, so I’m happy with that. My daughter poppy wanted to help me put it back together, and was very impressed with the “blue glue” liquid gasket. She got bored when it got too tall to see what was going on, so left me to finish up. I think it looks great, but im biased. <\/p>\n
