Its a complete car i was driving. Have a complete set of hanging pnels as spares also. Slowly smoothing all panels and cutting out small bits of tin worm
I'll keep this here as its going in the cave when finished.
3x3 mtr pine floor boards $9.50. so far. Still need to glue and nail it.
then a walnut stain, great colour will show up knots well, and aged look
Lower front door finished, Top door next
Holy crap John. Thats coming up great! Kinda wish i had time to do that. Keep the pics coming...I'll have to show my dad when its done. He thought I took it to the tip. Be careful to NOT damage the badge on the front.
Nearly finished, I do things weird so finished one side to show Mudski. As with all furniture restos I've seen an done they tend to only do what you can see.
That way you leave the rest original so you can see how it was when working back in the 50's. This is a varnish you apply with steel wool gives a great finish, only one coat so far.
this will make a great outside wine cabinet or mouseproof petfood holder. Can't wait to show Mudski the ice chest finished.
Great work TD, looks brilliant!
Pics aren't really showing true colour, kept the OE top piece of ply will syringe some wood glue into ply tomorrow.
Few more coats some soap and water,oh and some feet or board for the base.
trying to make it look older than 1950 as well.
Just about there, I'm pretty chuffed in the outcome, there is heaps of wood rot on one side
going to make a pine plinth if thats the term for the lot to sit on. Overall it looks great IMO
I'll put the before /after shot up
