Richard Lloyd Racing MK1 - Updating Broken Pics From Page 1 And Adding New Works

[SoundillusioN]

Want to go to VW Action with the car looking half decent.. Plan was, whack some matte or satin on it so at least its the same colour all over.

Changed paint which complicated things and now I've gone OTT with wet sanding, ended up working up to 2500 grit paper on the bonnet, mostly by hand followed by a lot of rubbing compound. Looks like the whole car is going to have to end up the same!







Another just to show that the lines in the bonnet are reflections from phone lines. Sadly the bonnet isn't as straight as I thought it was and I have missed some little dings... Past caring at the moment. Note that the bonnet isn't actually fitted.



Now don't for one minute think that it's going to be showroom, there's no clear coat, oh and I'm doing it. 

However, it's a lot shinier than I planned!

Got a long way to go though.........

As per PM - stop fcuking worrying 

The fact this car is even golf shaped still, let alone running, taxed and mot'd is a MASSIVE credit to you mate 

Just enjoy it and stop fretting !

And let's be honest  Owt would look better than the cooking Mazda that you went to action in last year

Cheers matey... It's not fretting really and believe me, I couldn't give a feck what others thought, seen far worse and I am proud of the car, very much. Doing it for me more than anything. Need to feel that we are still progressing, even if it's a little bit at a time.  Some might think that this project drags, often I do too, but I am not in a great position to have a car like this but I am also in no position to part with it. 

The Mazda still has that fecking sticker on the window, well most of it!

The fact it gets re mot'd every year is progress Shaun

True that. 

After this last big stint of work is done, going to spend the rest of the year driving it until the gritters come out, that'll be March then.

I have been driving it.  Done around 400 miles in it recently.  Just want to get it up to scratch.  Right now it doesn't run.

Am i mssing something? What's been fl_lcked up?

[LowlifeDubber]

That bonnet is lovely and shiny to say theres no clearcoat on it!

Im still intrigued as to what youve flucked up.

[SoundillusioN]

That's the problem, the fact that it's shiny. I'm using cans and this wasn't actually the desired result as the paint is only matte/satin. Now the cars covered in the stuff I have to match the rest of it!
