Result! Excellent :).

Well done
|
Thanks everyone ! Moving onto lots of neglected DIY jobs around the house next. That will keep me going for a month or two .
I've got a couple of ideas for my next project, watch this space ! |

The only danger would be scarring the body when releasing the mold.
It would have to be done in about 6 separate mold sections. Fancy laying-up upside down? 10 release waxes, 6 fogs of PVA and gelcoat before any lamination begins would do. Very complicated shapes in the pontoons. Well enough not to do it IMO. |

Could this be a Formosa with a bit of a twist on the styling ? I think there is one underneath it !

Lucky – Congratulations on the sale. :cool:
Whilst it is a shame you didn’t get to drive it more, paying off your mortgage is a real bonus. Can I just check what wheel/tyre sizes the donor car had compared to what you fitted instead? Did these changes make any difference to the way the car drove/handled? Finally, I’ll leave you with this photo that Mick posted. Cheers, Paul. :) https://live.staticflickr.com/7801/3...f0ff4878_b.jpg |
Hello Paul, I only did a mile or two in donor 7. That had 50 profile tyres so quite a harsh ride but very grippy with good feel. The 80 profile tyres helped with the gearing with the bigger engine. The handling still very good but slightly softer thanks to the higher profile. I didn't get anywhere near its limits, I tend to drive pretty steady anyway !

London Yesterday
I didn't know where else to put this but, anyway, on my day out in London I wandered down to my boyhood home in Chelsea and found, just around the corner, a Ferrari dealership with this beast in the window. The suited flunkeys within looked down their noses at the peasant photographing their charge as I shot.

Could be worse: Yellow Monaco dude would have advertised it as an ex-Le Mans winner with a platinum plated titanium frame designed and fabricated by Enzo himself. Regards, Mick |
If you look below the text it says - "£166.45 As stated" .... bargain!! ;)
|
Wow ! When we did the deal the buyer had claimed that he had already sold the car and the new owner was going to fit a V12 engine back into it. That idea must have changed, at least all my hard work won't be undone !

For sale
This looks familiar...

LOL, I think I sold it cheap ! I notice the price has gone up again since the previous dealer had it ! The details are wrong in the advert including the 300HP V12 engine amongst other things !

I did say at the time you had made a fantastic job of the car and should have taken a mould and started selling them. Albeit they would have been GRP just shows the desire!
