HI guys

Merry Christmas Or Seasons Greetings or whatever you prefer! Personally I don't give a damn as long as people are happy

OK, so Christmas has slowed things down a bit, but I have got a few things done over the past week. Firstly, I stripped (wire wheel again) and primed the gutter rail trims for above the doors...

Next I got into the GTS steering wheel I got with the car. It was OK, but the rim was slightly bent (not too bad), and the paint was chipped and stuffed as they all are, but the rubber was in very good nick...original 5mm wheel FWIW... personally I don't particularly care...

So, got the rim straightened, and stripped the wheel centre and spokes back to bare metal...

Then primed it and got it in the original satin black used for holden interiors (Black 30 from memory I think it's called??) (30% flattener...)

Was happy with how it turned out...

Finally as I was stripping the interior I decided to strip the interior inspection panels and etch prime them. Again, stripped with the wire wheel and etch primed...

So, a few other things will be coming soon, including retrimmed seats and other interior parts... still, I have my own thoughts about the back of the van and I'll be getting your guys feedback on that as well!
