Time for this weeks update.
I have been busy carrying on with fitting the headlight lenses and have refitted the windscreen scuttle panel.
This Is a pretty boring job as it takes a lot of time to get this right. It has taken me days to get the lenses perfectly sealed.
Fitting them into position takes a day as you await the tiger seal to dry. Next day you have to apply the 1st layer of sealer all around the lens then allow to dry. On the 3rd day I sealed the bottom of the lens. Then to finish off next day to get the finished edges. Very boring and time consuming to get right.
Now that they are fitted the lights look fantastic.
My next job is to refit the windscreen scuttle panel. This took 3 days as the panel is in 3 parts. I cut several wood blocks to wedge the panel against the boot lid so I can apply pressure as the tiger seal dries.
To finish off the lights I needed to make the little panels where on the real lambo the headlamp washers are located.
To do this I made 2 templates out of cardboard so I could trim them for a perfect fit.
Once they were shaped to fit perfectly I transferred the shape to modellers plastic card.
Now that they are a perfect fit I give them a coat of plastic bonding primer and then a good couple of coats of satin black paint.
I leave them over night to dry.
The next day I fit them to the car permently by using tiger seal and leave them overnight.
Now that the lights are all finished the front of the car looks great.
very satisfied with the finished job.
Now it looks like a proper lambo.
To finish off this week my new blue plug leads arrived.
As I have got blue hoses everywhere having red leads looks alittle odd. So I have replaced them with blue ones.
Finally the engine bay is finished and it looks fantastic
The last 2 photos show before and after engine rebuild. Wow what a difference.
The car is coming together finally.
I'm planning to tax the car on the 1st of august so then it's finally on the road.
Yet still loads to do tho.
Next week I am having my auto electrician friend around to fit the cars new alarm system so it can be locked and immobilsed by the key fob.
I am getting a top notch car media system with satnav fitted with a pop up screen
To finish off the electrics I am investing in a Tracker! Every supercar has a tracker so this one will as well.
It would kill me emotionally if she got nicked by some scumbag so I will do everything possabke to protect her.
More next week.
