Two posts in a row - am I the only person between jobs (for the first time in 24 years)?

Anyway, reskinned the doors. And that's a satisfying job, pretty hard to make a mess of and I got a chance to use my new welder so double satisfaction.

I accidentally dropped a litre of black paint on the garage floor when I didn't tighten the pot enough on my spray gun. I'm sure it would've looked better on the roof of the mini then the garage floor, and definayely better then the splash marks on the wall and my engine crane......

Sanded down the roof with 1500 wet. Found out my mig gas cylinder has a leak at the regulator. No wonder my welding started to go downhill...
