Adam's bodywork thread

[Paul Woods]

We thought it might be cool to show the bodywork side of things up here as well,so heres mr H's 1.5 getting the WS treatment.

We found a bit of a belly in the rear quarter panel above the wheelarch,probably caused by welding distortion or other,but it needed to be put right....



Although ad was happy with the wheel arches we agreed the outer lips could do with straightening up and reforming so the outer edge is nice and uniform...





Also there was no gap between bumper skin and bonnet so we adjusted this with a big hammer and a block of wood,now it has a perfect gap...



And the engine lid needed sanding down/refilling/sanding down etc.....



Theres a few more days prep left and then it goes into primer and paint.

Mr Woods, you got to do MORE threads like this!

Could watch bodyworks guys work all day, it truely is an art form.

Decided on the colour scheme yet Adam?

[biteme]

I think it should be hearing aid beige with a hint of manchester grey :)

Agree with Jiffy here though Woodsy - bodywork threads are all pukka, especially as you'll be doing a colour change for me soon!! :)

[msherry21]

yeah Jiff, I agree. great to see how these things are done....It really is an art form.

[Garbe]

As above but also you get to see the amount of prep that needs doing - its not just chucking paint on it.

What colour is it going to be??????????

Then phone them and get the content lock removed...you are over 18 aren't you? :hidesbehi

I'd love to but it's a sim in Miss Owen's work laptop and we've no idea what the account details are... Will look into it upon return to the UK though.

Over 18? altogether far too close to double that now, tis depressing really. If I don't finish a MK1.5 in the next few months they'll probably get taken away by the geriatric police and replaced with MK2's...

Hi-jac over (sorry Adam),

Owen.

[Paul Woods]
