I had a really productive day on the escort front
started out this morning with 2 of the wheels still needing final sand and polish, before being masked up for paint. I got the first one done then got called into work to fix up some issues. so they took an hour and a half out of my sunday
second one done. now for masking
take 2. the remaining 3 wheels masked up, and in primer. 3 coats of etch primer.
while i was "waiting for paint to dry" i went and converted the bigger (32/36) carby from water choke to manual choke ready to go onto the car in the coming days.
I knocked off about 6:30pm tonight, and by then I had all the painting done on the wheels we had the best painting weather in melbourne today, warm, and a nice breeze to flash dry the paint, which meant each coat was drying in under 5 minutes
Tomorrow before i leave for work at midday, I will be spraying on the clear coat. so by tuesday morning, i can take the masking tape off and have my wheels finished at last.
Tyres will be fitted sometime later this week, and by the weekend with any luck, the wheels will be on the car im so excited
