However, I am starting to miss Gary. I am actually starting to run out of things to do waiting for him to come out of the respray shop.
I have been given a commitment that he will be in primer this coming Thursday before the spray man has a holiday. It will then dry for a week before blocking.

The bonnet, one door wings and hatchback have yet to be sprayed with primer, but body has been primed, all the dent removal and the welding (very little, just tidying my welding up) have been done.
I took a few pics. However, more to come later, the shop took some pics of the before and after of the work they have done including a short video. Here's my pics.

I managed to get another twin lamp grill from ebay to maybe replace one of my spot lights.
Imagine my disappointment when I got this, described as "good condition". No mention of broken clip or corrosion in the lamps, one particularly bad. Didn't pay a lot, £30 in P&P.
Just hope they are not a member of the club!

I'd be wanting my money back on that headlight, it's not what you were expecting to buy really.
Ref the spoiler, it's a nice period add-on, but I'm with Mike on it, I'm not sure it will look right on your car or not. For me, I think it's a case of holding it in place once the car is near completed to see if you think it will work.

It's also nice to see them mask the car down to the ground to stop that annoying over-spray underneath. It surprises me how often you don't see that done.
Top coat soon!

Yes, you are right, the spray shop seems to be doing the necessary to protect the car, it's bread and butter to them. I am prepared for the dust, but not any overspray.
They were trialling a potential apprentice on Friday.
I was very pleased to see the photos they took, this eliminates any concerns that I had about the preparation before the primer.
Apparently before the top coat, blocking the exterior and interior preparation.

I have been doing odd bits today, mostly cleaning and a bit of painting.

Like to say it's all my work, but it isn't.
The remaining items have been primed.
Some items have been blocked and smoothed with wet & dry.
Some of the interior has been painted with the final coat.
and the engine bay:

It all seems to be happening in a logical order. I am in the mancave today fixing the bumper on the wifes Lupo before some paint..
