Wow! Thanks Terry and Reece, thats absolutely fantastic, I'm so glad to see it in the flesh as it were, thats the colour I choose and thats the colour I got, I know thats going to be a bit marmite but I don't care what anyone says thats the dogs doodahs. I do have plans for silver for the roll cage and the tray back and wheels, and have some plans for a couple of small subtle colour details as the colour scheme is based on a sports suzuki motorcycle so it will be tempered a little, but I didn't want it to be a shrinking violet. Well done! Great job!

Hi guys
We just left the workshop, and can’t stop looking at it
looking forward to bolting some bits back on tomorow and that’s when the colour will be bought out in full.
To ansrew the question it’s had 4 Ltr of black to do the underneath and engine bay, inner wings , then 4 ltr of tintable for the top colour.
we shall be pumping 2 gal of wax oyl into the cavities tomorow as well so should last a fair few years now.

Cheers

hi roger
its part of the service we give on a job like this, but sure the customer not mind.
wax oyl ? its a product ive been using for the past 30 odd years on car repairs and give good long lasting protction, and give good results.
i restored a jaguar mk2 that we had to replace outer sill on back in late 80s that came back some 15yrs later for some repairs after a acident on the side, we was amased when we cut the sill off to do repairs, that it was just as clean as the day we fitted it.
we tend to stand the can in hot water for some time to make it flow better out the gun, its perfect for pumping into the cavaties and areas that cannot be acsesed with primer ect, it finds it own level then sets.
in my opinion theres nothing better.
hope this helps

Been cracking on with this for gazmo66 this week, nearly there now and here’s a few pics of what we been Upto.
hopefully it will be heading back to its owner over the wk end.
The next stage is the full tray back that’s being carried out by the owner, then I’m sure he will be out and about enjoying it.
more pictures of the finished project before it leaves.

Well guys that’s another one finished now, and going back to it’s owner tomorow.
We’re Very pleased with the outcome of the job and really like the colour too.
our job is done, and the customer is putting his touches to the rear cage and tray back himself.
so we’ve helped him out with some temporary rear lights and rear mud guards to enable a mot and get it mobile (only temp fitting).
have a look guys give us your thoughts, I’m sure gazmo66 will pick up this thread and update more pictures and info as the rear half conversion gets underway.
For now it’s onwards on upwards with the next project
take care guys
