My Re-Spray thread

[pwd95]

Well looks like she'll be going in over new year for a freshen up. Will be contacting Racegraphics tomorrow for the decals. It's going in to

www.alsaautomotive.co.uk

Alun did the front of the 450SE for me & the standard of the work is simply 2nd to none. A lot of his work is stripping Ferraris & restoring them to their former glory, you name it he's painted it. I'll be updating with piccys of work in progress so hopefully will be an interesting read.
Anyone know where I can get the TVR metal bonnet & boot badges? Ta.

Hi Alan. Having fun? This car is an absolute mentalist! When it's in the garage I have to chain it up to stop it getting out.
Got the dash apart at the mo. Getting a vineer panel from Stephen 'HOTTY'. By BBWF she should be very nice indeed. Going to put a new zorst on it too. How are you keeping? Got anything else yet?

Hi Wyn

I may have a couple avaliable which have also been resin filled by Leven's for a few beer tokens. I will check tomorrow if you want them!

Andy

Sounds good Andy. Let me know.

[pwd95]

Ooh, crikey no, wasn't thinking that. Sorry to hear. Hope all's going well. Get well soon Andy.

Anyone know where's best to locate the rubber strip that goes around the front bumper...

Oh and spot lamps too....

[pwd95]

Hi Martin, she needs a new hood, got a few greasy bits to replace & the interior needs tidying. Nothing too drastic really. Hows the SX now? All good?

[pwd95]

Hi Oz, my old one had no rubber strip too. Might see how she looks without it.

[pwd95]

Sounds Good Mark. thank you. I'll mail you later. I've had an email through that reminds us all why emails were created in the first place..... . (not work friendly )

[pwd95]

Well, she's gone in & she's among some quite incredible company......


Who can name them all.....

[pwd95]

Hi Steve, yes she's staying red, not my favourate colour TBH but it suits this one a treat.

Cheers.

[pwd95]

Yep. Car had been stood for 9 years or so. Paint had gone dull in places.

[pwd95]

Hi Alan, I'll see you there.

[pwd95]

Progress report......

All stress cracks repaired, finishing filler applied & sanded down, doors, bonnet & boot off ready for painting & re alignment, door beams off to be powder coated. Al is doing an absolutely incredible job.

Going over there in the morning to give the outriggers a clean & paint so if any one wants a run out, the garage is just off the junction of the A465 & the A4059.
