UPDATE:
Well i actually had a proper 2 day weekend , so i decided to strip down the right side ready for primer, just did the tops of the doors, as the bottom half is in good nick still, so just hi filled the tops ready to be blocked for colour.
I have to admit, i hate commodores, well not so much the cars, but some of the stereotypical drivers that own them. But having worked on this car and having spent a fair amount of time on it already, i can see why people like them. The engine seems so reliable, everything is so cheap for them and parts are just so damn easy to get, hell any part from my car has to be ordered from japan and then i wait 4 weeks lol.
I'm really looking forward to getting this thing painted and on the road, should be a fun car to clean up
anyways enough of my rambling, heres some pics from todays proceedings.
Next weekend, i will remove the bonnet and boot and paint them up, also paint the rear garnish.

Update time!
Well i had a change of heart, and to be honest thought i would have some fun with the car and make it a bit different....
I changed my plan to repaint the whole car in a light blue, instead this weekend i painted the roof black with a prizma glitter. Took about 5 coats of clear to sink the effing glitter down, but all in all it looks swell! Going to sand and buff the roof next weekend to flatten out any bits of crap in the clear. It's not everyones cup of tea, but i had some of the stuff laying around so i thought i would give it a blast for shits and giggles.
next weekend will be buffing the roof as well as painting the bonnet and boot.
Heres some pics for you all The picture up close is of the 1st coat of clear, the last picture is after the 4th coat. Come up nice and glassy

Well instead of waiting untill next weekend to sand and buff, i thought i would hack into it today while the paint was still soft, rubbed it down with 1200 and buffed it hard, came up a treat. It's nowhere near the quality of my usual work, but for this car and what im using it for, it will do
The sun came out today which is a rarity, so got to see some bling
Enjoy.
