Thanks Joe, I have tried to use this project to push myself to learn new skills and also show that you "can have nice" without spending the earth if you put the effort in. I reckon when all done I will have spent around what you pay (in the UK at least) for a tired but useable 70's "Z"

...and I think you did a great job!

...And constantly counting or calculating money is boring, isn't it? The result is what counts, not the total investment!

(For me personally, it's always important that everything works for me, that it functions well and correctly, and that I like it. I don't usually follow the crowd or the opinions of others, but then again, I'm not really a herd animal anyway ;-)
 
Greetings, Joe

In a warped, masochistic kind of way

I agree Wookie, "In a warped, masochistic kind of way". One must work with what one has access to. I have painted a couple of cars in an old shed/garage and understand just what you have experienced. There is an old saying that goes something like necessity is the mother of invention? If one needs to paint inside instead of outside (which has it own set of issues) and a shed is all that you have then you paint in a shed with all that it entails.As I said the end result looks great to me and now you know you can do so in a shed.

Ditto Joe….
There is always a great satisfaction when you do something you have not done before, and to turn out a job that also looks great is a top shelf achievement.
Great job Guy.
