OK, so I am not talking to myself. I have the page on facebook, but rather like the idea of there being a permanent, searchable, record somewhere. I just wish I had of given it a more imaginable thread title.
This week has been a lot of sanding and clear coating of the drivers door. It also saw much cutting and polishing of the last (4th) coat of clear to get a decent surface. The first two of about half a dozen coats of mould release wax have gone on and been buffed off. I do not have enough room to set up and work on two doors at once unfortunately. Last night I added the flanges to the outside of the door, and today I am driving up to Aaron's to get some door glass and trims that will allow the completion of the prep work.
When I get back this afternoon, The glass and trims will get fitted, and then it is time to go around the whole job with plasticine etc and fill all the little cracks and recesses where the gel coat could flow and lock the mould.
My physio is happy with the recovery of the shoulder. Lucky for me, sanding and polishing the door is exactly the 'light' exercise my shoulder is capable of. The 2 hour round trip to Aaron's will test me, as it will be the third time I have driven since surgery. I am a long way off getting in the race car, as I can not hold my arm out in front of me and have absolutely no strength with my arms extended away from my body.
