A little more tweaking this evening after work.

Pretty much there.








Ugh..The end is in sight!

very impressive

Thank you Sir!


As for progress today....Not so much.

However,

I put an hour in or so.

Laying in the chopped strand mat, confirming size.



And some polyester resin later...Somewhere mid laminating. TONS of air. Again, we're talkin' quality here




Tomorrow I paint the floor and continue with the last few remaining spots left to patch up.

I feel the hard stuff is now behind me.

Very cool thread. I'll keep poking in from time to time.

Thanks!


Got home from work. Went out, prepped, and painted the floor. Bottom is sealed.







Grabbing a bite to eat, then heading back out.

It's the weekend. It's car time!

damn, this is really really cool.

i'm definitely digging the exterior color.

Thank you, I'm having fun working on it. Glad others are getting enjoyment out of it too.

And which color? The dark blue? or the color(s) the car is now?


Regardless, as of this last week I have decided to paint the car a gunmetal/titanium/charcoal color, instead of the dark blue. I feel it will go much better with the blue interior, than a blue on blue combo.

So if anyone has any recommendations of good gunmetal grey colors, I'm open to suggestions.

Tonight I worked on the driver's carpet a little bit.

I fixed most of the holes, obviously the color doesn't match, but it's at least nice so you can see what areas needed to be repaired. I'll decide whether or not I paint the carpet afterwards.

The process:

-Back patch the areas with fabric tape (Gorilla tape, and even duct tape work well enough)
-Using a razor blade, shave matching colored carpet from a healthy area of the car.
-Dab of super glue into the repair area. Shortly followed with application of the razor blade carpet shavings. Applied by tapping.

It's fun.

Here are the pictures.

Before:

As you can see, if the carpet you're patching isn't all stained and junk, you can make some pretty gnarly tears virtually disappear.

We'll see if I can get it to clean up. Either way. No holes trumps holes any day of the week. Progress! :beer:

Who...when.... How did you figure that one out? It makes perfect sense and all...but I never woulda put it together. I woulda just stripped it out of there and put some donor carpet or something down....
