Well, that's the uprights finally finished. This cold weather was making painting very challenging, the hammerite was drying but staying soft rather than properly curing. Ah well, these will now go into storage somewhere until they're needed again.
The next job is to go over the chassis with red oxide primer. Because it's been stored in the garage for so long the front end has collected some surface rust. So I'm going to take this opportunity to go over the chassis with a fine tooth comb. As I clean the rust off, I'll check all the welds and fix them as required, then give everything a coat of primer. I realise I'll need to clean it back off when I have to weld things on, but at least it won't get any more rusty.
The only problem is that because I've been working on the back of the car, all the garage 'stuff' has migrated to the front. And I don't really want anything covered in primer. Time for another garage sort out I guess.
