Looking tidy. Is that Burford road in the distance?

Ha ha yes it is. It's where my car went tits up

Thought I recognised it

I have the INPA/DIS software running on my laptop now so if you want me to plug in and look at that fault just give me a shout. It might shed more light on it

 

[Machine monkey]

Thanks Shire that's very kind of you. Might take you up on that.

He he thanks you know the way to a Monkeys heart Woody.....

Well get my car running again Its getting new gearbox fluid brakes and a good service. Then in the new year strut braces if the style of the alutec ones.

I am having a go at making some sort of front spoiler at lunch.

So had a bit of time this morning. Took an early lunch as i am busy this afternoon. Decided to make some //M type fangs for my standard bumper. I am planing on vinyl warping the very bottom section of my bumper black due to stone chips scraps and bumps. so these should blend in. If that looks pants i will be saving for a respray.

Step one as i left home this morning i drew on to paper the profile of the bumper. I then drew that on to this modeling foam. cut it out and began shaping with a rasp then a file them emery cloth

Step 2 paint simples

I will be seeing how water tight they are after a few more coats of paint. I will be doing all i can to stop water getting at the foam. Any suggestions on how to keep the foam dry greatly received.

A Man with some talent here for sure. 8)

Can't help with the waterproofing I'm afraid unless you could vacuum suction some plastic over it to act as a cover.

 

[Machine monkey]

Thanks srhutch it comes from wanting to modify and having no money to do it. we the human race are resourceful lot

Yeah i was thinking of warping them. But i have painted them a good few times now. I have put a sample piece painted and one non painted in to the sink. even the non painted one is looking ok

 

[Machine monkey]

So hear they are on the car. Well held in place by a very helpful brick any way. Not sure if they are big enough??? What do you think do they follow the lines of the car??? I am sure you will all let me know. Secondly they are going to have to be painted silver i think. Then its just working out how to attach them!

 

[ben g]

they look poo i think they need to be bigger.

 

[Machine monkey]

I appreciate the honesty I was in a tis was about it. They follow the line down from the grill. But just ont look right? Back to the drawing board.

Any more opinions welcome???

 

[Bad_Pritt]

Think out of the box, it doesn't necessarily have to look like the M-bumper?
