For some reason i couldnt get a replacement rear wing for the old rear tub, tried a few places and even got a company to send me what i thought ws going to be a rear wing, turned out it was the very rear quater where the lights mount. Being Scottish and the man on the other end of the phone being from deepest darkest yorkshire we probably needed a translator.... "ken"! lol.
so that got sent back and i found this new to us tub in a barn!. in really good condition for its age and importantly it had straight wings.
So rubbed it down, which took about a day, chucked it into paint and the whole thing reacted... gutted!!!
After many more cups of tea and cakes and discussion it was seen best to use paint strippers to clean back all the old paint back to the bare bones and hit it with etch primer and go from there.
sounds easy i know but it isnt. wish i had taken a picture of Eilidh and my fingers after all the sanding and stripping.
No finger prints left Eilidh and i set off to rob a bank........
