Well she has here new coat,and looks a little better if i do say so my self






thats me by the way

colour sanding,im sick to death of sanding,but all adds up to a good finish,as you can see ive bought here home again,just easier to work on here



first sanded with 1500grit and then again with 2000grit im knackered

FLOCKERING,i here you say….what is that?well i was looking for some "b"post seals that were not completly worn out and could`nt find any,but i did find some that was not split (result) so i wondered if i could reproduce the texture on the seal that the windoe glass run up and down on,and i come up with flocking,and it works really but don`t use the glue that the flocking companies recommend,i have try lots of stuff and here the best i have found
first remove all the the old stuff and scrubb up the rubber so the glue has a good surface to bond to

then find your self and old mk1 bonnet outside to work on, and apply a mixture of glue and black paint

mask of the seal,and glue seal,then with your flocking in the dispencer cover the seal well,this is messy


i bought a 2 oz bag a dispencer for about a tenner this in more that enough,i did six seal with plenty to spare
leave for at least 72 hours to dry then shack of excess

i think you might be impressed with the finish

thanks for the offer,but i have a donner car which im using……thanks

after reading other comments about cleaning wiring looms,i thought, i woud try the dishwasher method(WORD OF WARNING)do it when the wifes out,this method worked very well,just required small amount of work when finished on a hot wash…as you know cooper connectors tarnish after time,so every connector was left in a jar of lemon juice which bought them back to high shine and removed any corrosion,then covered with electrical sillicon grease to prevent futher tarnish.

yes its for her mid life crises,when shes forty…so only 2years left,better pull my finger out

 i know its alittle over kill,but have added relays to both dipped and main headlamps,so with abit of look they should stay bright

the "b" post seal with the new flocking,has work better than expected,now i can run the window up and down it,it has stuck atreat,and looks great worth every penny
