This is our thread for our 90 pickup!

had her for 5 months now been in bits for 3 months :doh: due to clutch and waiting for the summer to arrive so we can paint her!

over the last couple of months i got the clutch done ( big thanks to CRAIGYB for his help with this)

the last 6 weekend i spent sanding her down and stripping the lights of and filling her with glavx and today i got her etch primed ready for the grey primer tomorrow! (hope the weather holds up)
a few pics this was her when i got her!



this is her now!



bulkheads are both in good nick!

My favorite threads - keep it coming.

Will be watching this thread as hopefully spraying mine in a few weeks

As long as you used etch that's fine as normal primer doesn't stick properly to Ali and so flakes off after time

Getting there now mate

Nice thread, did you rub it all down by hand?
