since sarah got this porker she has been obsessed and after seeing the cars in such good condition at gaydon she decides its time to try and get her pride and joy in this section. so the task begun starting at the ground and working up.
the wheel rims were old and pitted pretty bad so without the money to have these pro polished i took on the task myself its slow but its coming on. with a trip to frost car restoration supplies and £80 lighter i got me a flexi drive for a drill but mounted it in the lathe (it spins faster and doesnt die) i set about the rim lips just one left to do. but one complete with paint. the rear of the rims are in poor shape but a cloud of dust later and they are almost in good shape.
while i was doing these sarah decided to remove the headlights and mechanism. this is being painted in VHT plate paint. (chrome look that can be lacqured) but the body behind or under the lamps and inner wings are well...as you can see....
that POR paint remover is well recommended its super fast and eats original wheel paint like its dissolving ready brek
.
sadly too late
