Hello all
Well i dont know if you remember my old install i was happy with it but the whole lot was very heavy and i got sick of not having a boot.
Well i ripped all that out and going with just one 15" this time in a custom glassfiber box to the left hand side of the boot
this is how ive been going on im still a long way off but i will update the post as i go.
The big tape up this took some time
The first of many layers of glass
well i got the front on this morning still got to gt a few more layers of glass on top and inside if i can. using fleece and it did soak up a hell of alot of resin im happy with the way things are going
heres some more pics
Well below you can see i covered the outside of the box in "milkshake"
to make the milkshake mix 1ltr of resin and a tin of car filler stick in double of mek hardener (std is 2% of hardener to the resin)
ive got to be back in work tomorrow so i will be doing bit and bats but i should be updating later on in the week
still got to put the milkshake on the inside will do this tomorrow night
today i got as far as preping the first layer of body filler ready for a fresh skim tomorrow.
to do this i used 40 grit papers and matt black to find the low and high spots of the car filler and also any curves. i trimmed the sub rings again with the router using a trim off bit.
test fitment
ive still got a long way to go but im thinking of painting it a nice gloss red or maybe covering it in red suede allicantarra as i can get a good deal on it at 25 pound a meter.
anyways thats todays work done time for a pint.
Well tuesday was spent sanding and sanding and sanding. i started to coat the box im high build primer today. I want to get a good few coats on to cover any little pin holes in the filler
but now the box is really taking shape
