A mate has just vacuum bagged a CF dash in his FD. Watching him try it has got me thinking about giving it a go. Not CF but - the cloth is more than 10 times the cost of CSM.
I believe my drivers door is a combo of two errors. First the skin mould deformed (first one I did) and frankly is not real good. The second is I have no way of indexing the skeleton against the skin when I go to bond them together when the skin is being laid up. Because the passenger door is generally a better mould, the parts lined up easily (or I fluked it). Both doors were not of good enough quality to use out of the mould, and had to be bogged, primed and painted. It was emotional.
and OI! lay off the fat jokes. I wish I could drop 8 kg. Having a bloody driver on one side of the car is a pain in the arse. Messes with my suspension alignment. I might move the seat and controls into the centre. How hard could that be?
