WOW!!!
#437.1 Ouch, some scratch! Is that also a bit of a problem top right of the photo, or is it just a dirty patch?
#437.2 But you're not just filling it up with paint, are you? Make sure you sand it down well before the next coat. I think I ought to pop over and run my finger-tips across it to test.
#438.2 Not bad.
#439 Lovely job!
#440

this axle lifterpart need some sanding.

Yep! Great bit of work there. and #441 very neat.
#446.2 better.
Tell Wesley he's doing a great job on all that.

Aren't you just a pain!
But goodness, how you've worked on the old HC, Thijs. Many little fiddly bits to do. That strip beneath the front lights in #443 - it doesn't matter if it is slightly lighter because it is centrally placed. If it were at one side then perhaps it would notice. But it all looks great now. You're very thorough, you know.

Thjis, when you are though with the HC, maybe you could give this one a make-over as well:


Here is another view so you can pick the right tools for the job:


It can certainly do with some loving tender care.
