Sun’s out so spray time! I pushed the Cup
out onto the driveway in front of our cottage
as the garage is north facing and takes a while to heat up.
Sunny and not too windy so gave the body tub
a second coat of the Nyalic lacquer. It’s self levelling and
very forgiving , as I’ve never had great success with
ordinary aerosol paint. It took about 3 minutes to spray
the bodywork.
The Scotchbriting has given the alloy a random effect,
Too difficult to get a completely even finish?
It’s more even on the bonnet and wings though.
The detachable alloy panels and the body itself,
have all been formed and finished by me
( except the flitch plates)
and proudly show the marks of their maker in a modest
form of arts and crafts philosophy, as I’m not
a total perfectionist.
After the good progress made on the gearbox and clutch
yesterday I feel more confident about getting to some local rallies
so I better start doing some entry forms!
Started looking at fabrics for the hood and Tonneau.
constructive suggestions invited.
Best value I’ve found so far is from a vintage Pram
Restorer!!£12 a metre.
Enjoy the sunny Border photos!
