right i got my engine cover back last tuesday all nearly finished. Fitted its weds night and looks really nice i think
heres a few progress pics of it
before; as you can see there was a crack right through the top nearly putting it in two
the guy then plastic welded the cover and fibre glassed the back for extra strength then bodyfilled front, he primered it and then kombi filled it. Then applied a guide coat, this shows up any defects and as the cover was really textured he applied primer heavy so the texture could be rubbed away, you can see to the right how heavy he applied the primer by how much had rubbed away already:
after he rubbed away most of the guide coat and making sure the panel was 100% ready and blew the dust off, tacked panel and stat gunned the panel and applied a couple of coats waiting 15 minutes between coats:
i havnt got any pics on the car yet due to my internet been down at home and also my n97 phoine has gone off to repair so no camera phone
also, i need to nip back to see the guy as he is doing all the lettering in red for m, he said he'll be able to do this while its on the car so just need to find a time when were both free
cheers
