I'm the idiot standing in the red oval

Put the Bee stripe on, just before leaving for a party out of town. Came out ok, a couple of wrinkles I couldn't smooth out in one spot around a reflector, might have to re do that bit at some stage

Hey! Wow! Thanks for the birthday wishes Went to another mates birthday (a 60th) out of town, but didn't tell anyone it was my birthday also lol, I'm not much of a birthday guy.... Got waaayyyyy to drunk and fell over, crashing thru a glass block partition wall, apparently it was real funny I...

Reassembled the coronet Quick wet sand and buff to get rid of the fluff, really needs a better sand n buff, will do before I put the stripe on in a few weeks. Went to a show, the first time taking the Coronet to a show as a car legal for our roads. Love driving this thing with the 4 speed big block

Rubbed back the 2k red,put 3 coats of clear on. Very happy with the results. Light rub n polish then reassemble. As an amateur in the garage, I feel this is as good as could have hoped for

Would have liked to go to that, but we are attending a wedding the evening before in Wellington

Got the paint done. Came out ok. I was a bit heavy on the top coat, so gotta deal with some runs. Little but of fluff here n there, so needs a rub back. It's a 2k single stage, so I can sand, cut n buff and be done with it. But I did a sample with a clear coat and it looks pretty good, so I may...

Ready to mask up

All ready for paint tomorrow

Been busy with paint prep, only found one more small spot of rust, so fixed that. Stripped the roof back, as it was crocodile reaction all over it. Primed with epoxy urethane. Did small dent filling and 2k prime to repairs. Have now rubbed the whole lot back, and am making my DIY booth...

A retired panel beater. They inspect the car when imported for body repairs over it's lifetime, sometimes they are cool, sometimes they make you strip stuff if they think it's Bondo. It's a real headache, quite often the biggest hurdle to get a classic car legal here

Yep, kept the 215 on the front. 295 on a 10inch on rear. And yes, annoying I had to strip those areas, especially as this car is really solid overall. I'm just painting to whole thing red again in my shed, same color as it was before. Our government is progressively making it harder to import...

Went out for one lat drive before prepping for paint Part of me really likes the grey primer patches

Got project wanna bee legal for the road here in New Zealand. Signed off as a solid car, all body work signed off, all modifications from factory checked and certified. Assigned a n.z. vin number, number plate and warrent of fitness. All legal to drive now Next up, a D.I.Y. paint job in my...

More progress on project wanna bee. Had to do repairs to trunk floor, lower quater and a couple of little rust holes. C pillars were fine, and driver's quater was brazed on in the 80s, this was all fine with the inspector, but what a lot of work to find out it's all good underneath, frustrating...

Our Coro has been running great, new clutch works mint. We put her through "compliance" last week, it's a very strict check to make sure the car is roadworthy. They were happy with the cars mechanical condition after the work I did. However, they were unimpressed with some of the panel work. Has...

I'm almost ready for compliance check, and intial repair cert check (flagged for small chassis damage). In the next week or two, then I find out if I need to do any body work, it should be minimal, as it has very little rust, one bottom 1/4 is bondo, and a small patch of trunk floor, so...
