8 Tins of Paint and a Numberplate

The evenings of the last 2 weeks have been warm and still

Perfect weather for respraying work so I've cracked on with it and now Katy has been sanded, primed, sanded primed and top coated with 3 tins of primer and 5 tins of Ford Ivory topcoat

It's by no means a professional job. All I've done are the bad bit's, but the difference it makes to her appearance even up close is quite dramatic. She no-longer looks like something that's on the verge of total breakdown and should attract quite a lot less attention from people thinking that she's too scruffy to be on the road (e did get some looks of disapproval)


We're off to see my family next week and we're looking forwards to some admiring looks along the way from all the Land Rover fans out there


Also with all those trips to Halfords for paint I picked up a replacement rear number plate to replace the one she had an advisory on  in her MOT test. So Mr Plod will be happy when he sees her on the road as well
