Guarantee you will scrape them a bit when you are fitting them :-D All sprayed mate ! Thats the problem with most of the parts I paint they are often heavy and have to go back in a tight spot so I'm learning to touch up as I go , if you'll parden the expression !

gritineye Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Looking good Andy, did you use any seam sealer or such on the frame to stop rattles? I got carried away and forgot, had to run a bead round afterwards. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Looking good Andy, did you use any seam sealer or such on the frame to stop rattles? I got carried away and forgot, had to run a bead round afterwards. :rolleyes: Hi Bernard , I used a seam sealer called Tiger seal ! It is very good at sticking to hands so I'm hoping it'll do the job ! Also hoping that when Freddy takes Daisy over he won't need to reskin her ! Hence the paint before assembly and after , unlike the factory finish ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero-Five-Two Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Looking good, as usual. Are they the original frame and panels cleaned up, or have you had new ones made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Well done Andy, a few more panels,some odd bits and bobs and a spot more paint and you'll be okay for Llandudno in a few weeks;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyFowler Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks Rob , the panels are new sheets and the frame has had the bottom corners and the window mounts replaced as they had rotted away in places ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
