G28 - Simple Mans, Simple REDO of an G28 LP640

[Simple Man 2.0]

Wanted to put additional clear on the REDO. But before I did that

2 body lines that were bugging on me, the top inside straight body line that was out by 1/16" for about 6 inches
And a 1/8" or less indentation on the drivers qtr. lower body line.

There were also 6-7 burn throughs in the clear that needed to be fixed.

Sand the clear.

Using a Iwata Eclipse HP-CS Airbrush, I applied very light base coat as to not cause lift or wrinkling, pulled the masking tape to blend, then used my sun gun to check for coverage, covered with clear. worked great!

Then I attacked the upper qtr to fix the line and did the body work on the lower line.

Primed the area, last night.  Now to sand for base

Even though the paint going on the REDO is from the original batch I will blend the base into the driver's door and down the quarter panel

Another glorious day on the REDO!!

Worked on glueing interior pieces

Tedious yet rewarding

[Simple Man 2.0]

The OE sunglass upper console was not staying latched.

Part 410867543A  hook mechanism was broken.  57$

After I purchased the OE hook Mech.  Saw an item on ebay that looks similar.     $7 for 4    figures.  Not sure if they are the same size or not 

The little metal clip part 418868847  is 319$  ....dont loose it 

Also the plastic flocked tray was cracked and had to use a bit of super glue to fix it.

Well Well, The REDO is coming long at warp speed now!

Made a plug then a mold of the HVAC trim piece.

Fitted the Riceburner Hvac controller and the OE Lambo Aluminum ring piece.#410861719

Now to make Lid and hinge to hide it all

[Simple Man 2.0]

The REDO has been sitting for a while do to Family health issues. 

Back on it and just finished some interior pieces and sent them to the upholstery guy.  Have two more interior pieces and the HVAC lid and stereo piece.

The interior is like a jigsaw puzzle

The attachment points were at first difficult, but they became easier over time

A lot of cutting and pasting.

Hello, I enjoy seeing your build, your work is amazing.
Do you still make the door cards? I am after a set, I bought some of those
Kit car ones from that US company, and they are just going to take too much work to get them to fit. Thanks

Looks Fantastic. Lots of hard work but really shows all the effort you put into.
