Thanks Neil, glad to hear from you again! We've come pretty far from where we started eh? Loads of work stil remains tho, especially on exterior of the body.. 🙂 Hope you liked the video format!
Schöne Farbe. Und gute Lackierarbeit 👍 Aber das eingeschweißte Radlaufblech bzw der Übergang sollte noch verzinnt und nicht gespachtelt werden . Und die Frontmaske/das Frontblech fehlen ja auch noch. Das ganze sollte mit der Motor Haube, den Kotflügeln und den Türen in Kombination montiert bzw angepasst /angebaut werden. Weil die Spalt Maße ganz wichtig sind. Ich habe insgesamt 5 Manta A's und 3 Ascona A's restauriert (in den 80ern) und sage nur. 👋👋👍👍
Let's gooo! Almost ready :D Awesome series, you should numerate each episode, would be easier to watch every one in sequence since the beginning. Keep up the good work
Looks good. In the early 1980 in America, two stage acrylic Dupont non metallic paint was about $15 dollars a liter or about $40 dollars a gallon. Metallic paint was more expensive. As you know you have to buy reducer and hardener for acrylic paint. Those two items increased the cost of painting the car also. I don't have a clue what a liter of paint cost now in America.
True, but base + clear also require hardener. For exterior I have a different plan but for the interior this seemed a good idea as you only spray once and it was cheaper in this case. 🙂 Thanks for watching John, hope you are well! ☺️
@@l3v4rt Sorry I called the paint two stage. I called it that because I mixed hardener in with it. I wasn't talking about base coat/clear coat to get a glossy finish. I should have worded my comment better.
Hello I've been checking out some of your videos because today I just found the same car pretty awesome I'll be bringing home tomorrow I may put up a video myself good job
Hi Andrew - thanks for kind words! I might be putting it on later down the line but first I might try something different. I have something easy in mind first but if some cool livery idea pops in my mind I might design that and try it out. But eventually probably SR stripes. 🙂
We are noving on with preparation for respray, I have vacation leave now so I will work for 2 days then I need to edit videos, I have material now. 🙂 Coming soon! Glad you are following the build!
Great work 👍 I like mine in white 🤍 I nearly had it painted metallic midnight blue but I thought if I need to touch it up it's going to be difficult whereas white is always easy 😅
