Raider 10 Restoration Officially Started

[Charlie Smith 142]

Hello guys,

Hey all, after having my little raider 10 for about a year now, I've finally started the restoration, I'm not exactly rushing to finish it, maybe just bit by bit, little at a time, see where I get she's been to a few shows as she is now, oily rag restoration, just mechanically sound, but I thought it would be nice to ad a little more life, ill still be attending all this years booked shows, eg) ardingly round up, ringmer, Laughton, and Blanford GDSF possibly, but I don't think she will be compleat at any of these, half done I hope to have all the wheels at least painted up for the round up at ardingly., so far I've started on the wheels, I asked a few of you on here and done some research, I went to look at IH white, but too me, it just didn't look right, in the end I brought a tin of LandRover Limestone and some LandRover white undercoat all I've done for today is sanded and flattened the old paint and rust that was on the right front wheel once that was done I got some masking tape and taped up the wheels to avoid any paint going onto the tyre it's self, yes I'm hand painting by the way,.... aha, anyway I just put a layer of the white undercoat on the wheel then it got too windy and cold outside so packed it in so don't look at it and say ewwww horrid.wrong. It's only the white undercoat the real gloss isn't on yet, but tomorrow I hope to get the front two wheels done and start on the back,

Now... What you've been waiting for,,,, the pictures

Hey a moderator would probably do this but this should be in the restorations topic. Nice work so far, it'll be a fun process working on it little by little
