Ironically I just came in from the shed where I have been busy fibreglassing my EL XR front bar top to my BA GT bottom...

nice to see it looks as good as I'd imagined it would.

slowly..

The EL XR bit I got from Toshi had badly cracked paint so got that back to bare plastic..

Image


decided not to blend the two like you have.. so I cut it so there is a 1cm taper in on the top edge... looks good but was much harder to join there.. had to glass a lip on it first.

anyway, it's nearly ready for finishing now.

I love the rest of the car but dont really rate the taillights sorry.
Will reserve final judgement until I look at it in the flesh one day.
