Tailgate referb

It must be an optical illusion Steve but your tub seems tardis like, I'm sure I can't fit that much gear in and still have that much load space.

A good weekend for Lightweight restoration.

I have got so much done, starting with tons of prep work then lots of money in various DIY shops and autofactors.

Then we (Steve and I) turned my garage in to a spray booth.

To make the most of the paint we sprayed the tailgate, doors, bonnet and the wheels.

I'm really pleased with the result, lots of hours of back breaking work but so worth it!

Thanks to all that have helped, especially Gordon for his amazing parts eye (I'll be recruiting you for Scrap Heap Challenge), Steve for his skill and companionship and Kim for putting up with me and my mess and assisting in bonnet fitting.

What have I started? I now find myself with a Lightweight half sanded in the gararge. I just spent 8 hours sanding and masking all because the tailgate looked too nice compared to the rest!

I know, but it is done now, well nearly... I'm looking at numberplates as we speak.
