It looks so perfect and that is wild considering the shape it was in when you bought it. I honestly thought it should have been a parts car but look what you’ve done to resurrect it. You should be properly proud of your work!!!
Word of warning which I found out the hard way; The sparks coming out of the grinder are tiny pieces of molten metal and disc, they can leave burn marks in the paint and windows. The workshop is looking great! Really enjoying the content, thanks.
Considering the damage I'm shocked at how well everything is fitting. Hats off to the paint shop for getting the pillar looking so well I've got a stage 2 M4 so I know that these are a handful in the dry and in January weather they are bum twitching
I worked with carbon fibre for a long time in the aeronautical and automotive industry. Just pay close attention to the roof as it will cop a lot of UV just like bonnets and boots. They can start to discolour and turn chalky over time. Looks great though and well done on your builds, I’m really looking forward to the TVR rebuild! Cheers Pat
thank you Dean,,this has been an outstanding project and coming along very nicely, I do like the colour of that front bumper,, looking forward to the follow ups and of course to the next one thats going to be different,, have a good weekend 👍
Really nice job. Please don't take this the wrong way but. The only thing I would have done differently would be . Paint the roof edges before fitting the roof. Apart from that brilliant job. I should think you are very happy.
Agree. And I would've applied the roof sealant to both the roof panel (bead) and the bodyshell (spread out): you definitely don't want it to leak later on!!!
Absolutely outstanding! The confidence (and I’d imagine a degree of trepidation) to replace the roof just says it all. I love the approach to your work - so methodical and professional. Well done, Dean!
Great job, it does look really smart now. And stop doubting yourself, you've not let yourself down with any work you've done and you've not let us down with the content...and I know as I've followed all your videos.
I used stickoflex ( maybe spelt different) to fit a roof scoop to my old Impreza years ago , I was told is was good stuff, and sure enough I could hear the roof flexing at speed but the scoop never moved .these modern day bonding agents are superb. It's taking shape !
It was a brave shout this one Dean, but you have rescued it. The Carbon Fibre roof looks sensational, really improved the car. Can’t wait for the test drive👍🇬🇧😎
My M4 has a carbon fibre roof, only it's colour coded to the rest of car, so you would never know. That roof looks really smart with the original carbon fibre finish.
Car is looking spot on !!! The carbon roof is looking amazing and it fit perfectly ! Luckily the glue also work very well by low temperature and now the windows are back in the car it is being already a super car !!! Feel happy for you !
from seeing it when it came in wow looking really good, as someone else said my first thoughts were that's for parts/re-shell surely but i think going to make a cracking car for next owner, fingers crossed doesnt throw up any surprises when you get it on the road,
you came across as "well chuffed!" in this one. I say ... Good for you. Nice when something falls into place (especially after worrying beforehand). Keep up the good work and smashing the vids.
Well done Dean, The car is really taking shape now, especially with these latest carbon roof, windscreen & other related works all going to plan. I think the roof rails would look best in black, to 'blend in' with the roof. Keep up the great work! 👍🔥
