    Re: My Zetec POP

    all detachable panels are finished, now i can start on the shell in this lovely christmassy wheather





    ive also been looking at getting new rubbers i know that i have to buy 100e glass rubbers, but i was wondering if anyone knows whether or not you can use mini rubbers for the boot and doors, as i know they are more common and should be able to get them cheaper than the 100e ones.

    cheers for the comments

    Re: My Zetec POP

    cheers guys, i think im gunna weld it up and use the roof one
    bit of a backwards step today.
    last week i prepped the front for some primer, but it started snowing so i used some hammerite gloss white to cover bare metal.
    so when i primered the front end it reacted over the hammerite stuff. any recommendations?





    cheers for the comments

    all you can do is strip it off and start again, what happened was the solvent in the primer softened the hammerite

    Re: My Zetec POP

    been working slowly, which im not happy about as im suppose to be driving the pop round europe in mid august
    but i have fitted bolts to fit seatbelts which im happy with.


    and i have fitted the dash and put some balls on springs to keep the door shut


    and put the doors back together which was a pain, and some bits need respraying



    plans this week are to finish the doors and spray them. thurs and fri
    and then my dad said he will help me saturday and sunday to spray the shell put the wings, doors, front panel boot and bonnet and spray it again and then put the laquer on.

    wish me luck, as things never go to plan :P

    good weather so got car painted




    my mum and dad checking out my handy work


    tomorrow i am going to fit all the other panels which i will no doubt will scratch, so will put another coat of colour paint on, and then hopefully put some laquer on.
    the plan for sunday would then be to fit the headlining and then put the glass in so it is finally water tight
