DeLaSoul Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 just read through it all mate and you've done some cracking work fair play!! and that wiring!! i thought i was doing ok when i tucked most of mine and done the S2K clocks but that is insane!!!!Cheers mate, wiring is one job I like doing to be fair. Still working through the rest and learning as I go. Quick update now I'm near a PC..... So I've checked the roof bung actually fits in the hole with a tight gap for sealant by using the spare roof I have Now time to sand and fill as smooth as possible ready to take the mould from. Filler primer and sanded the sides and covered the flange area with tooling resin to make a smooth surface for the vacuum bagging tape to fix to later. The dash has now gone from this.... To this.... Filler, sand and wood primer to seal everything ready for tooling resin and sanding, lots and lots of sanding!! Wasn't sure how to get the centre console to match up the dash, needed to fill that area in somehow Made up a cover that aligns with the inside of the centre console and glued, filled and sanded. Cover area and areas where I broke through the resin again with more resin. More sanding, filling and recover in primer Another sanding session and it's ready to make the split mould. Clamp the tool to a base and build supports for the parting flange. Used a plastic pipe to simulate where the roll cage. Time to enjoy the bank holiday weekend and chill out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
