Right, after a loooooong time unable to do any work due to the pain my right hand suffered from overworking it....:bang:
It was so intense I could barely open a door!
Some medication brought it back to life and started doing a few simple things

So I worked on the impact absorbers back and forth.
First cleaned them out form corrosion.

Repaired and applied some spray on vinyl underbody coating.

Both ends trying to keep the four fish cave painting:)

Next up I started to regrain the T panel on the roof. Used a 120 sand paper Aluminum oxide ofcourse, and with gentle straight motions (with my left hand) I got that fresh feel back on it.
To be softer on the edges, I rolled the sand paper on a 1 inch thick sand sponge
Image

This is what I had to work with
Image

Image

and a few scratches here and there

On the left you see the finished sample.. The right is undone

Getting somewhere....

Take it easy, mister. We need you in the future to drink a few beers together. No need overworking yourself.

Did you know that most Dutch think Heineken is piss. Heineken Export is a different product. I used to drink Grolsch btw.
