wow. those skirts look sweet.

[Jdog1385]

looks great. are you going to do any work on the rear bumper?

[doGGy]

Here we go again, another day - another update

REAR END REWORK:

First of all - say BYE BYE to Quatro exhaust LOL This needed to go sooner or later, so it was the day i finally cutted it down



He he LOVE this tool so much, i could cut with it all the day long and wount be tired - LOVE destroing



After cutting the exhaust, i desided instead of simply glassing the rear - change the design of the rear lip a bit. Soooo some cutting sanding drilling was requered to make my idea work.







NOTE TO EVERYONE: Before any glassing on the dry fiberglass of other types of plastics drill lots of small holes around the area you will be using fiberglass, it improves the sticking of fiberglass and it will reinforce the places there you lay the fiberglass. This is important then connecting FG with normal plastics or poliuretanium.



After holes are drilled im using the special foam used in building gliders, to fill the empty spaces, and to make the needed shape of the places i will be fiberglassing. THis foam is resistible to fiberglass, head, or any other materials, really easy to work with and Very very expensive (1 sq meter of 2 cm thicknes foam costs about 30$). It is easy to glue it to anything using hot glue gun or just simple Bondo (or filler like we in Europe call it )

Here are the empty spaces filed with the foat and the shape is sanded down.







Well after the shape is finished - fibergalssing takes place. Im using normal FB fabrics (not the random cutted one - like we call it Mat here). It lays really smoth i lay about 4-6 layers of it.

NOTE: If your laying FG on the places what are not easy to reach or they are in vertical position, brush the epoxyd resin on the places you will lay FG and dry it a bit with Heatgun, let it dry for about 5-10 min, it will get sticky and will holw the FG better, wount let it slide down.

here are the pics of the shapes fully fiberglassed, this was the End of this day, cuz i had to fiberglass the sides skirts a bit too in few places, and as long as it is COLD here again (+4 - 6 C only ) so Fb dryes longer.. Tomorow i will resand the places there i layed FG, and bondo them to get a smoth surface and will take better pics for you guys to judge








Well Thank yu guys again for your kind words As for more write up - sorry but somtime i just can have power to write more - cuz im working on This car like 8-10 hours a day and still need to arange lots of other projects that are in process... so it takes everything from me....

I noticed 3 weeks term, but actually it is 4 weeks now - that is why I get impatient.
But you're right - let's chill and wait. Perfection takes time
