    In case ya'll haven't noticed...

    I've continued my Phoenix Project progress reports in the "Show Your Mustang Pictures and History" section here: http://fyi.boardhost.com/viewtopic.php?id=178

    Today's picture and YES! that's the sun shining on my newly stripped trunk lid. Finally it seems like we are getting spring even here in northern Europe:

    What did you use to strip it?

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    This stuff basically, have no idea what the chemical really is, environmental friendly I guess, but it works if you're patient and don't expect to strip more than one layer of paint at a time. Also of course used my high pressure washer with hot water. That tool thingie in the middle is a razor blade holder.



    This stuff is also recommended ;-) j/k

    Definitely sounds like something that surprisingly enough could be translated into the world of IT as well. Just add CBS and politics to the mix and we have it all covered.

    Thanks Corky and yep, it will be a way of trying to get stuff done on it on some kind of regular basis. But I will probably take a break over our short summer up here as it needs to be enjoyed, car shows and meets has to be visited and documented etc.
