Postby 1969vivasl » Wed Jul 18, 2007 3:09 pm

following the exploits of bulldog on here has inspired me to show you lot my project. my poor old hb is in terrible condition and has sat in this spot for at least the past 2 years! i do know that i am this car's last chance and it WILL see the road again someday. i am going to take my time on this and do a real good show standard job on it and then i will be able to compare before and after pics, just not for a while yet!

hmmm..... i think it's going to take more than a few spray cans! flat surfaces have been used as shelves up to now, but no longer!

I don't know if brave is the right word, stupid maybe, with a touch of stubborn determination! i'm aiming for Billing 2011- i turn 40 that year, gives me plenty of time, doesn't it?!

Nope Duct tape. Tape for securing ducting (i.e. something we have a large supply of at work :P )

Or I might use elephant tape.
