R1.Andy Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Posted October 25, 2007 ok simon i will ring ya next week when the kids are out the way m8 best bet to have a chat as i may finish putting the wings on as they are so close. i will see how many times i spit me dummy out doing them then it will be a small amount of tapping up over shell small spread of filler and ur painting
deluxemk1 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 From what I can see Andy youve done a hell of a job mate! Pat yourself on the back thats a quality build youve done there .The wings can be a bit of a drama im guessing they are expressed panels wings? I have a pair of them on my tina they fit quite well .Give me a call next week then we can talk about the car properly.Id like to do the car as its such a nice build and ive always got a soft spot for mk1 tinas im 33 and had one since I was 15.Cheers simon (Mitchville Custom Shop Guvnor)
R1.Andy Posted October 26, 2007 Author Report Posted October 26, 2007 will do m8 i brought it of e bay about 2 yr ago,had my 1st 4 door gt since i was 14 yr old 22yrs owner and sold it to fund this one.. yep x pressed wings they do fit but have had them on and off a hundred times getting them nice bit orrible round the scuttle need shrinking round a bit .its moor the front panels its made off two ends and a valance. cut all the grot out and cut in new metal was a good shell t.b.h usuall place really rear lowers strutt tops and so on. one the reasons i went so far into it was worth the extra work to bring it up to a mint shell[/img]
