Afternoon all. Nice sunny saturday. As it was my boys birthday during the week him being 21 was all good but made me feel old.. very old... I remember being 21. And all you youths can bugger off... you will all be 40 one day lol..
Right on to all thing happy and car orientated lol. I have cut about and made the near side quarter panel trim fit and then on these as they made for the toledo I have to cut them down and shape them .
So I lined it up and using self tappers I screwed in to position after a few attempts to get it lined up with the door shut and about the same hight to the rear light. I do t have any pics of them new as I cut off so much as they where designed for the s2000 touring car body shape.
Then cut it so it is to the rough shape I want and remove the unwanted material
Then using a flap disc on the grinder I removed the gel coat and down to the fibreglass 2 reasons why. 1st is to give it a rough surface to stick to. And 2nd is to lower the hight in effect make a hole so I fill it back up to level with the new fibreglass.
Then mix up the resin and then paint a covering over the area then place ripped sections of the fibreglass. Then paint resin over the top. Then layer it again . I have done it to its just proud of the original high then I can sand it back
