Nice job. Love the recreation of laquer bath and glorious failure ! I am making , from scratch , a replica nardi wheel for my 356 replica and may well use your genius pinstriping solution 😀
Owned one in the late 80's for a few years! Recently spotted it back up for sale on farcebook market place 😁. Would love to have it back , but aint paying £8500 😳 I sold it for £180.00
Great tip on the black line. I've just got my wheel stripped and sanded ready to recoat and couldn't decide whether the line was stain or paint as there wasn't much of it left. General consensus seems to be that it's painted.
I had one as my daily transport in the early 80s and regularly thrashed it. It used to indicate well over 80 - how fast it was actually going I don't know, but it felt fast. In a straight line it felt absolutely stable. Going forward I only managed to get it onto two wheels a couple of times - in the wet it was more likely to slide as it had cross-ply tyres. I fitted mine with radials and managed to break the trailing arms. I did manage to turn it over in reverse on full-lock once. I think the gearbox on the one you're driving is knackered - the engine and gearbox were extremely nice, better than many 70s cars.
hey, i have a wooden MOMO steering wheel, as far as i saw, when u glued the crack u covered it with the black line of paint, how would u recommend me to fix the crack since i have nothing to paint on it and the glue will be visible
I painted the one I'm restoring (the black line) by hand... If only I knew lol. I'm struggling adding the 20 layers of varnish my brother wants... I'm looking for videos on perfect varnishing every time without any spots, or anything... And yes, I used the safety googles when I scratched the old varnish as well... I saw it coming... I knew I was going to end up in the eye ER again so I recommend always using them or you can get something stabbing you in the cornea ( is no fun, trust me xD)
It's bellends like the bloke in the Van that make trackdays dangerous, it's not a race he shouldn't have been on the inside overtaking is on the straights only during ant trackday!!!
Blame, fault, responsibility is all fine and dandy. Chances are neither was insured, so tough shit read the smallprint etc. Sad thing is it was not a one car crash.
