Just went up to Monaghan there and got sorted. Its just like you said there, Matting agent-normal clear coat (2k lacquer) and hardener...
I might leave it with a little shine not to sure yet but should hopefully be done by the end of the day tomorrow :D
I cant wait to get it on the road now!! :twisted:

Make sure on a test panel or something that the paint and clear coat don't react before spraying it on, just in case.

got the lacquer on there earlier. delighted :mrgreen:
didnt react and its kept its matte effect.... was going to sand down the doors and bonnet but not going to chance it today as the lacquer takes a while to dry and dont want to get any dust on it.

il get some pics up later (phone has crap quality)

Yes he's having problems

He did a good job on it if I may say so!

Just needs lowering a bit and the doors/body paint to match each other! Ohh and a tyre for the other Weller wheel!

Prob more stuff but maybe Steven can fill you in on that.

good man brendan for the pictures..

yep still few bits to do on the estate: mirror missing, wiper missing, need to get engine tuned and get the car resprayed or give it a good coat of lacquer to even out the doors bonnet with the rest of the car...

was driving it for about a week, well happy with it till it decided not too start one day, trying to figure out what it is by elimination process....

the car will only start if the timing is retarded a good bit so wont run properly but starts, once the timing is advanced properly the car runs ok, but wont start...
gettin an odd missfire too even though the timing is set right ....


yep good ol bob is getting a makeover, got that £140 pound complete front end from ebay so will let ya's know how it all fits.... :) just needs a door skin too then and then she's good to go for a new spray job....

steven
some day....

Steven, that is the coolest Clubby estate I'v ever seen! You must be one happy camper almost having the finished product after all your effort which looks like it has seriously payed of! I can't wait to see it, hopefully sooner rather then later!
Getting old is a must but growing up is optional!
