Spent a lot of time around Cromer, the Mrs and here family lived in Mundesley until a few years ago. Nice part of the world !

Unfortunately , it is a fact that if you want a show winning finish on your fibreglass body , then regardless of how well it has been moulded , it will inevitably need a skim of filler to take the shimmer etc out of it ...regardless of initial purchase price ...

Having said that , a decent looking car can be achieved with less work ...Bisto34 doesn't try and iron out every issue with his S*mmio builds and the finish work he has done on a couple of Formosa's but they are still credible and good looking cars .......

I get 2K from Trade-car-paints

(I think they are another name for Jawel)
They will mix up a colour for you provided you have the paint code.
They also sell 2K high build primer.

Thanks for that Mick. looking at the car I do not think it will need loads of prep I am not looking for a show job just to say I did all myself and that is the best I can do. and just drive it like I Stoll it ?

Thanks Neil. just the colour to decide on?

Made the most of the sunshine today and went for a drive so stopped off for some fuel (still cant master the art of posting a picture not just an attachment)

Fantastic Alex!

When you click on the attachment, the photo appears and so does some computer code at the top of your screen.

The code looks something like this:

If I copy that code and paste it in this post with [img] at the beginning and [/img] at the end you get this.

Hope that helps.

Also, the photo above looks great. :cool:

Enjoy, Paul. :)

Popped along to the classic hub at Bibury yesterday and today went on a pleasant drive around Wiltshire in the sunshine stopping off at Lacock for some scenery photos

Looking fab!

I've been out and about today too, can't believe its only mid February. Must have seen at least 20 roof down drivers ! Still , its only a few weeks to the official start of spring and I'll have the TR on the road !

Your car looks great by the way Alex ! I'm sure it will be getting plenty of attention on days like these !

Went to the classic car and motorcycle show at Bowood Calne last Sunday and was awarded the Peoples choice car of the show, chuffed to bits over 200 cars there, really smart trophy and a lots of car cleaning polish etc

Fantastic! Congrats. Love your car.

Well deserved, always nice to see the pics, and one day hope to see the actual car.

The guy with the worst car should surely be awarded the polishing set :pound:
Well done!

Great to meet you at Bibury today :)

Hi Jim, you too. that was an impressive line of Mk 1 Escorts parked in front of you

It was - Lotus twin cam and a BDA with bonnets open.

Is that a brace of purple 1300Es as well ?

I sort of miss mine
