lucas' 4th gen - Vs3 spoiler fitted!

[lucas]

almost ready to paint the engine bay






sanded down some welds with a sand attachment on the grinder and came out nice and smooth







hopfully me n JD can get everything masked up tomorrow and get a bit more cataloying done before we apply the upol dolphin glaze

needs a good few coats of etch high build primer then few coats of upol high5 before the paint to make sure the engine bay is well protected with rust and as smooth as possible

if things go smoothly (pun intended) then we could have it finished for next week [happy]

After the 75mph winds this is what happened






The poles all snapped and took chucks out the whole car.. so definetly need a respray sooner than expected
Also took a few chucks out the cataloy In the engine bay

So we decided to take the tent down and put the project on hold.

BUT!... after the great day we had today we got alot of work done

Before...


After



Will give it a rub down and fill in the bits needing redone, which is only a few to my suprise, and get it ready for paint

[RattyMcClelland]

Wow good effort. Doesnt look like any filler was used at all after that primer. Which of course is the whole point.

Stupid gay wanktastic winds.
