Great read looking forward to seeing the seats fitted.Shame you're bailing out on the wheels,gold centres would have gone well with the metallic red...

oops..Trying to add missing pics to previous posts..no can do :(

@templar2k5..You only need to knock the shine off the lacquer,not remove it all :)

Did not go as planned today but found other stuff to do...Found the spring compressors,but I've only got Matiz front legs.Must have sold the rears so no suspension alterations but I have removed both wings & bumper.Going to scrap the white car tomorrow now the tax is out so I'll salvage the legs...

@templar2k5...£15 a metre what a liberty.Try some local vinyl fitting companies.I would not use the Hammerite on the car but your call... No you don't need to primer the car,only where there is repairs or bare metal.Wet flat the panels with soapy water & fine wet and dry.The green underneath...

Got a couple of jobs done outside today,fitted the clocks from the engine donor car so now showing correct engine mileage (31k Grandad miles)Then found the March auto clocks with rev counter that I altered the mileage on back then so I'll put them in some time. Also fitted a Super S steering...

@templar2k5... Like the green you are planning,much better than the Nissan pearl. I've never enquired about vinyl prices,might be worth a few phone calls.Bonnet & roof are easy panels to do I would have thought...The plastic divider on the roof gutter picks out easily...

@templar2K5...With the depth of paint you will get with cans you'll get chips even if you used lacquer as well,and that's provided you can get cans of satin lacquer. And that's part of the fun using satin or matt,it's got to be gun finish.If you touch it with any wet and dry paper after it's...

Oh & no primer needed unless you have bare metal of filler to cover.And no lacquer needed or it will go glossy..

No problem :) If pushed I would use satin from a can as matt shows the lines more and will be very rough so the sponge will stick to it when you try to clean it. Another option is to beg/borrow/steal a small compressor.I painted a Transit chassis cab with a compressor made to pump up tyres,it...

I used a solid satin black for those panels which is easy to clean.You can get a more matt finish by using black basecoat & covering with satin lacquer like the sides of this car but it still has a slight "glow" to it.Long time ago now but I did ask the paint supplier man if he did a lacquer...

Cheers guys,time goes so quickly,14 months since my last visit..As you can see by my last rubbish post I've forgotten how to post pictures,I'll work on it.Also can not edit the said post?It's all changed :eek: Ah sussed it I think...Here we go.The scene since September. Picked up a few...

Hi all...Mini update...my blog had gone AWOL till I logged in again :o The car has been sat around for ages,moved workshops twice,it's been sitting with a cover over since September & had become a dumping ground for old tyres/parts etc.Looked very sad... Last time I used it was funny for about...

Drove a low mileage 1.3 ohv MK4 home tonight & was impressed with the perfomance especially since the engine was designed in the 19th century. As said they are disapearing fast...

Got some pre facelift bits lying around.. 1 x 1.3cc from a low mileage(40k ish) stricken automatic victim.(still in car)Distributor removed but has recon throttle body still attached. 1 x 1.3cc.110k,ran fine.Dizzy,TB,starter & alternator removed.Gearbox still attached,will split. 1 x...

Cheers nice easy changeover on a facelift then.

Anyone tell me where the white Siemens NATS box is hidden on an early facelift?It's not beside the heater motor like a pre facelift...Thanks
