Looks good so far, how about some details now?
Well this weekend I got the engine compartment, door jambs, and body epoxy primed. Considering the amout of metal work and filler work I have done the car looked better than I thought it would for the first primer, the epoxy was glossy when it was wet and the car looked good few little dings that I forgot I saw them when I was stripping the car to bare metal but forgot to mark them befor I sanded all the paint out and a few spots that need a bit more work. Then I'll touch them up with epoxy and put on some good high build 2k primer and as MD-IN-UK would say time for the block party.

Look here for some details http://www.restorationmini.com/Featured/Jeff/restoration.html and here http://www.minimania.com/web/threadid/97401/msgthread.cfm
The car is a 1960 Austin seven, I got it about a year and a half ago drove to Denver CO. Christmas before last to get it. I am doing everything I can myself to save money and because its fun. Trying to make it mostly original. I am working on a photo blog of some kind from start to present with all the details or I might talk to Dan about being able to update the featured project page myself and try to organize a detailed progress report here,
Looking real good. :) Get ready to sand your elbows off.
Yeah if you want to add updates to the featured project pages let me know. I could send you the html pages and you could mess with those and send them back when you're done, or give me a list of updates you want done and I'll do it for you.
I hope your plans include a good coat of epoxy inside the car as well. For that matter, I'd 2K prime it all. That little bit of extra prep at this point would be all the better, and last so much longer.
Looked at your other photos too, don't let anyone tell you theres anything wrong with being thorough. That kind of documentation will make a big difference if you decide to ever sale it.
yes every part will be stripped to bare metal any rust blasted and then epoxy primed that is what I have done to what you see primed. Boot and interior next weekend I just got tried of sanding and wanted to start getting some primer on the done parts and I dont like to let the bare metal sit too long.
After its all epoxy primed I will 2 k prime every thing the body will take a few times with the 2k and blocking the car was pretty rough to start with so i know stuff will show up when I get the block out.
Jeff
Got the inside the boot and a second coat of epoxy on the outside next comes the 2k high build and blocking.

Ha ha, resources and tools I have. Time, space, and money thats another story.
Jeff
Hey Jeff,
Any new progress on your baby?
Yes I have got to work on it some more finally. I decided to expand my shop at home that took some time and money but I now have 20'x40' it's nice. Then I took over the business I was working for that takes 16 hours a day but I still get some time in on the car. engine and gearbox are done and painted pics to come. got the boot and hood in primer. I still read on here just don't get time to post much I hope to be on more in the near future.
Jeff

Is there a 'Featured' section anymore? The link to the details doesn't seem to work...
