Good luck with your project I've had 2 of these my first was 1963 model and then a 1966 my first had a briliant paint job it was white with a deep red roof. That would have been 1970ish.
lovely ;) mucking around with a 3/25 this end, what primer /paint you using mate? i cant make my mind up was thinking boat paint you know something that can handle the wobble lol, cheers
Well a mate of mine (a professional sprayer) has offered to do it for me. He says it's best to use 2 pack paint. I recently sanded the doors, boot and bonnet and primed them in 1-pack primer but he said it's best to use 2-pack primer for 2-pack paint. I'm just gonna leave it for him to do when it's all sanded to 240.
@@Darwinion nice one thanks mate, ill be following your mates advice myself cheers ;) rigged up an easy and reliable hazzard light if your interested ill video how to, how you off for spairs? cant recommend gypsy Joe (reliantspares) or neil huckkle (delboy van man) high enough.
I got them from a local company to me and bought the chrome strip from an autojumble. It comes on a roll. I did originally buy the screen strip from a chap on Facebook bit it was too tight. I'd have broken the screen trying to force it in. If you have the old rubber keep some part as a template for getting new ones. There are loads of sizes and different thickness webbings (that's the bit of rubber that sits between the glass edge and the window aperture). If that webbing is too thick you'll have issues getting the screen in.
I'm currently working on removing many layers of paint from an AC Model 70. What paint stripper are you using? I've been a bit worried about the fibreglass being attacked with any random old product.
@@Darwinion thanks for that. I'm a regular in out local Toolstation so will grab some next time I'm over there. Really appreciate you taking the time to reply.
