using a 95 tank as it sits nice and low and re-soldered the filler pipe onto the top of the tank

was just sizing this up to graft onto the car as the old windscreen was off a speedboat.

this is the windscreen nearly done and all boxed in at the top, put new bonnet on, new doors as the old ones were fibreglass and were warped quite badly,

this was the old bonnet i used to replace the rear fibreglass panel that was on (again knackered) however alot of extending and twisting had to be done to get it to this !

Car finally finished !!!! Just in time for the international , especially as it is part of the 50 car display. Passed m.o.t with not one problem. Just hoping for good weather to travel down to the event.

Can't wait for the pictures

Finally finished fabrication of the rear panel and shaping the new windscreen frame, and the door modifications , along with all new braided fuel hose . Just waiting for some better weather so I can get some primer on,
hs_96v4Posted - 02 Mar 2013 : 07:16:56
Sorry the doors were that mishaped with age and surface damaged by moisture They were thrown out, plus the tops had been lowered by about 4-5 inches to complete the look on the car. The rear panel had got serious moisture damage too so thats why i have been rebuilding her.

Do you still have the fibreglass doors? Hopefully they are very light. If so I would like to buy them off you!Please email me at nigel.ngoakley@virgin.net. Thanks.

6 litres of Toreador red, with 3 of primer, new foot Long sanding block, thinners and filler, sanding paper all came in at about £100.
hillbillyPosted - 01 Mar 2013 : 20:13:23
Yeah I only spray celly, I have parted with £400.00 for all the stuff to do mine, celly at £10 litre is good, what colour you going for ?.
hs_96v4Posted - 01 Mar 2013 : 19:56:28
Cellulose, easier to use i find. Used 2 pak last time and was a hassle but a great finish though . But had great results when i Did my 95 v4 in cellulose. Plus i got this paint at £10 a litre !!!
hillbillyPosted - 01 Mar 2013 : 19:06:53
What type of paint are you going to spray it in????.
hs_96v4Posted - 01 Mar 2013 : 16:32:02
Just got all my paint and supplies bought for a rediculously cheap price, so back to more sanding !!
hs_96v4Posted - 22 Jan 2013 : 16:47:55
Yes It will be on the Road by june, Just got to finish the door changes, sand all the car down and respray, new gearbox, new clutch and put It all back together
hs_96v4Posted - 22 Jan 2013 : 16:38:07
Its Already to have a l.e.d Light Put in It for the reversing light

Some great work there - will it be ready for the International?

The original 'nose' on the bonnet (now boot) would make a great space for a third brake light...
