After the arch is fully welded it we use fibre glass first.

Inside the rear arch it's like a new car

Hi Mark
Here she is all ready for some top coat.
The dark patches is the spot primer we use on all breakthroughs
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
This is a two gun job so we can make sure there are no dry edges
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
Even the underside is baged up. |
| |
|
|
|
Making sure we get a good finish in here.
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
The colour is a good one for coverage. |
| |
|
|
|
Four coats of the same will give us enough to flat and polish.
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
Here Chris has flatted the car and is now doing a first polish |
| |
|
|
|
We have baked the car for 2 hours so the paint will be good and hard.
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
This colour looks so much better flatted and polished. |
| |
|
|

Hi Mate
here she is in all her splender |
| |
|
|
|
|
Cool exhaust
I have kept the exhaust in 2.25" but the tail pipe is 2.5" so at the trafic lights people will think this is a 20bdg and they won't evan try. |
| |
|
|
|
|
The two switches by the lights switch are the upper and lower spot lights.
when the switches are down the spot lights will only work on main beam so you dont have to go fiddling with the switches at night this makes them leagle. |
| |
|
|
|
The grotty heated screen switch is for the front heated screen it's the only switch I have but it is an easy job to change and it looks standard.
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
|
Thats all for now mate see you soon. I am at bruntingtourpe on monday for clasic ford they are doing a cosworth day 0 to 60 and stuf I am trying to get my launch and traction controll sorted so I can run rings around these cosworth turbo tossers.
I will let you know how I get on then it's time for you to come and play on a track with me jon (Edwards) and Ollie
looking forward to that take care mate talk soon Mick. |
