A Little Bodywork Progress (not for 56k eyes)

EDIT: Not sure why the pics get all squished together after I post but if you want to see the full size pics, go here http://s151.photobucket.com/albums/s146/AltimateX/Mercedes/ or quote this post and then click preview. I think that should work.

I needed a good excuse to test out my new Camera so I took some pics.

I haven't had much time lately to do much but this is what I have got done. The hood took me awhile because my da mysteriously vanished so I had to do most of it by hand. I had a crap load of featheredging to do on the roof and hood but so far its coming along nicely.

The last three pics are the most recent. That's the 2nd coat on the roof and first coat on the hood. Both have yet to be sanded for their current coats. The primer still had a little bit of drying left to do when I took these pics. That must be a wet spot on the roof :?

Nope. Although it does seem to resemble a Volvo a bit without the grille on.

It's a Mercedes W201. A 1984 190D to be exact. :)
