Hugh you are back, where have you been hiding mate???

[Carlos W]

Good man Carlos. Just popped on the forum to see what people are up to. Used to be on every day. Now once in a while. Your wee car is really coming on and its going to be lovely. Keep at it.
 
Hugh

It's lovely to see you mate! I got so much inspiration from you're build

[Carlos W]

Right, the interior is kind of painted.

 

I haven't done the inside of the rear 1/4s yet, and I caught the pipe on the bottom dash rail so I may have to see if the mark will polish out or if it needs repainted.

 

 

 

I couldn't get in and do the rear side of the dash panel shelf, I'm considering getting a smaller pot for the gun an revisiting this area

 

 

It's actually purple, but it looks so blue

I'm liking the colour Carlos, how many clear coats are you doing over top??

[silve1999]

Love the colour Carlos :)

I dunno yet mate, it needs flatted first.

I wasn't too concerned about lacquer on areas that aren't going to be seen. It's cellulose paint.

if you give it a couple of coats of lacquer even RFU it will give it better protection and any dirt will wash of and not get stuck in the base coat

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it!

Not really! 

 

There's a lot going on at the moment, none of which is mini based.

 

There'll be more on Monday hopefully

[Carlos W]

Getting door gaps spot on

 

 

Spaced back a little

 

 

Then sorting the front end

[Carlos W]

I really should've taken some more pictures, but panel gaps are now sorted on both doors, there's a skim of filler on the edge which I've left to go off, I'll get it sanded down on Monday and some more pictures taken

Well that seems to have worked nicely Mate!

I'll show you the real thing tomorrow mate, it's worked amazingly well, got to take your time due to the heat, but it didn't take that long

[Carlos W]

 

The almost finished door

 

 

The hinge was catching though

 

The gaps are really good and I'm very pleased, but I may need to modify the hinge slightly

 

More to come soon
