Aventador / Re: Neil's Aventador Build
« Last post by Neils88 on Today at 05:06:33 PM »Thought I'd post some updates just so you know I'm still here working on the car. After about 8 years of work on the car, I'm finally getting ready for doing the bodywork/ painting. I decided to build an enclosure to keep the dust and paint in.... and the wife's complaining out. It has air inlet and outlet filters and several box fans for air flow (with outlet ducts running outside). It took me a few hours to hang the plastic. After the bodywork is complete I'll change the plastic sheeting so there won't be any dust carryover for the final painting. I'm not a great painter/ body work guy.... but hopeful I'll improve as I go. Because of the mix of materials (fiberglass, smc, plastic, metal) I'll be starting with an epoxy sealer over everything before I get into the final bodywork.
Of course, due to health, I only can work a few hours at a time in garage. Of course I use the couch time effectively. I use the time to do any programming, electronics, 3d part design, fend off wife's complaints and research.
I've got the dash now mostly finished. Just needs a little more programming (specifically the 2 little side screens) and then some final fitting of the pieces. Eventually it will also get leather wrapped.
