Hello there, Craig, and thanks 😊 You're not too far away indeed. Had a quick look at your projects! Some nice carbon work there, very nice indeed!

Hi mark, you're spot on there! Although, you can't prepare yourself for the disappointment, especially when you've spent so much time, prep and care on a project only to mask something off for a straight line and cut on the wrong side.......but I wouldn't do that, oh no, I didn't do that......doh!!! :-S

I'm still very much a novice, so the parts were only veneered, although I did vacuum bag the larger pieces to make sure all the curves etc were followed, then just layers of epoxy resin, and a final coat of HB Autoclear 496. I'm practicing my mould making skills just now, as I would like to give resin infusion a go, but not had much success with that, so far!

You learn by mistakes, albeit costly ones unfortunately, but your parts look really good.

Hi Michael 

Hello, and thanks. Its an early Japanese import Impreza, had it for many many years.

I'm from the sunny Costa of fife 😂

some good work there,what car is it? and  where in sunny scotland you from? Im originally from Pitlochry

Hi there, thanks again, I am pretty pleased although secretly I'm over the moon! Ha ha. The only problem is, I cant admire my work fully, as I'm currently signed off due to a bit of a nasty accident at work! I'd put a picture up but its pretty gruesome! :-S

looking good welcome!

They look great you must be made up with how they turned out.

Welcome  

Hi, thanks for the compliments. Some of the angles and curves were a little tricky for a novice like me, but I stuck it out (no pun intended ) and I'm still well pleased with the results.

The current project on the car is covering the wing mirrors, which are turning out surprisingly well, but I'm not finished yet, so I'm not counting my chickens!!


Oh, and the gauges are getting fitted to a red carbon insert I made, instead of the mould/plug or whatever you call it I was making for them, as I wasn't too happy wth it. Will try pods at a later date! Ha ha 😊
