thought id post a couple of pics for those of you that are interested, sorry I didn't do a more step by step

Looking good Alex.

As you're so handy with fibreglass, please knock me up a yacht!

Love the alternative bonnet hinge

Doing good there buddy - well done!

Best of luck getting it back to former glory. I remember fibreglassing/filling my old MGB bodywork - horrible itchy dusty nasty stuff!

I like the calibrated brick.! i have one of those holding my y-piece up as no manifoldas are on :-)

Looking good.! Do you have crazeing on any of your gell-coat? (under bonnet) I have a few cracks after a small shunt a while back, very annoying.

Thanks for comments :-)

Yeah got a few silly little gel coat cracks

Im thinking about wrapping my car so I change colour when I want, and to avoid gel coat dramas

Can any one link me a kit on-line? with applicators e.t.c

Im fairly confident I can do it, but who knows

wrapping?? wow ok, do you know how hard that is? look up totally dynamic on youtube. you have no chance without 5 of you, and a lot of experience. also it isnt cheap or shiney.

Ive got 8 years working in accident repair, done a few bits and bobs similar

The vinyl it self is cheap, and comes in all sort of shiny and stupid colours

5 of us?!?! put the vodka down and get to bed

What have I got to loose, £50?? my car is in need a spray soon any ways no harm in trying

I would have thought 2 people minimum with 3 making it much easier.
I'm sure there was discussion about this on the Hairy Chest Wig Forum ;-)
Apparently it's a PITA because of the shape of the Griff & the size the wrap comes in.
Not sure if that will hold true on the Chim tho.

HTH

Good luck with the repairs
