Humm tricky that , how far do you go to do it right ? then again where do you stop and say " thats how it was done " Preservation or conservation  either way Im sure it will look the tit's  I personally think you do a bang up job of conserving all your toys Russell  |

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body , but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy shit ... what a ride"

Kev, No he cant (hes been on the phone twice already, i think he wanted to do a full resto on the roof  , but Ive given him some offshore get the job done advice and we are on track, being worked on tonight, maybe painted tomorrow. 2 coats of Laqer was all in needed. No Matt, they were protecting the rest of the car from the laqure as youve now sussed out. All, the roof will be made safe thats all, now full repair only some crack repair and filler, as said before its not a resto just a racer........ Now that this is almost done, what next errrrrrrrrrrrr........ wait and see. |
