Hi everyone, I'm from fife and have very recently got into composites. I've always loved the look of carbon fibre but never owned anything with, or made out of carbon fibre, partly due to costs but mainly because I always felt I could do it myself. So a couple of months ago I bit the bullet and made an order from Easy Composites. I bought just a few things to begin with, 1m roll of carbon, and a couple of different types of resin with fast and slow cure times. When it came to tooling I had nearly everything to hand as I work in the motor trade.

Anyway, the first couple of things I tried turned out badly, but that was purely down to my miscalculation with the resin/hardener ratio. So after another few attempts I felt confident enough to tackle the car. I have to say I'm very pleased with the results and have to thank Easy Composites for the excellent products they provide, very good to work with indeed! Here's a few pics of the results, they are far from perfect but I'm well chuffed!
Apologies if attached files don't work as I'm on my mobile.

Hi

Hi Blastomussa,

Dashboard is looking good! I like looking at the moulds as much as the products

What is your next project on the car ?

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 😊
