Then came the high heat primer.
The first gloss black can I used wasn't great and the second one I used eventually stopped up completely before it was even half empty. I had to wait until I went to town to get another can so that I could finish the job.
I also finally got around to painting the door jamb strikers.
The spacers were not all the same thickness so I wanted to make sure they went back on the door they came off of.
While at the bodyshop it was recommended that I coat the patch panel with a special rust preventative substance that came in an aerosol can. It sprays out in liquid form and leaves a film over the surface. They advised me to spray it and let it run down behind the brace. I continued until it began running out of the bottom, under the brace. This area should be completely protected now.
Here's half a garage full of parts anxiously awaiting to be turned back into a massive station wagon.
