My first completed resto
Posted: Sat Jan 16, 2016 10:52 pm
I had a few freebies from Tinman (although I have plenty I brought to restore). I started a few years back but never got around to finishing any.
So I had this DB thinking I could use the interior to fix my broken one. but then thought why not just fix it as best as I can.
I forgot the before pics.
the base was partly missing, It was very brittle so was built up with 2 pack resin glue, then dremmeled as best as I could. I gave it some Matchbox wire wheels.
The interior was painted, it looked boring in red. The glass was cleaned up (shame its blue
).
the body was sprayed with a mix of silver and gold. the reason for this was I am sure I once read that the James bond car was Champagne colour, not gold and not silver (could be wrong on that). Its Not Perfect but at least its finished and cost nowt
