I should come out of my favourites and browse the forums more often, great progress but I guess if you've not much else to do might as well keep busy. Love the turbo stripe and the red interior.

What do the Louvre fittings look like? Are they a candidate for 3d printing with something more exotic than PLA? (I guess you can justify a roll of material if the alternative is £60)

The first one looks easy, probably a candidate for nylon? The second one either in 2 parts or a resin print in whatever is tough. I can't remember, do you have a printer?

Boaz MacPhereson posted:If 3D printing isn't available, look into molding and casting. Resin sets up super hard and the entry cost is obviously a lot lower than printing. Since you already have some originals to pull molds from, you won't need to worry about building a digital copy either. I cast up some clips for my Nova and they're working great. This is a better idea, I'm blinded a little by only seeing the tools I can see.

Rust scares me, it's great to see the progress on this.

A coloured stripe around the wheels would do wonders to break it up visually, you can get strick on rub strips meant for people terrible at parking but they'd be ideal for this.

Too much, just around the perimeter.

If any car needed red neon in the arches it's this one. Loving the progress.

Tomarse posted:it took close to 400g of weights to make the machine happy! That's very not right™️ So a proper repair place would be able to re-true that? Now I want to find out how.

What's the backing panel made of?

If it wasn't so huge and awkward vacuum bagging resin into the break/join might be the best bet but decent PVA is probably a good second best.

That is a well-proportioned little car, looking great.
