Like my ashtray

I actually like having the ashtray door in place, I just use the area to store loose change.

Thanks, I really would recommend the ashtray delete just for the fact the plastic isn't covered in that weird coating that the consul is.

That was one of the reasons the ashtray had to go.... it was covered in scratches

thanks

Thanks guys for your kind words I'm glad my simple improvement was liked.

Car wasnt too shabby before hand but now it just looks that little bit fresher.

Next improvement has to be the silver release catches on the drivers sill, they are quite badly scuffed.

going to smooth them then base coat / clear coat them in 2 pack. my friend has a vinyl company so he will reproduce the little car symbols that go on them.

WORD OF WARNING FOR YELLOW CARS..... don't know if you can see in this picture but due to a little bit of lacquer peel under the OS light cluster I had the bumper removed and repainted. The garage did a stunning job BUT.. although they got the paint match perfect on the sides it highlighted that the flat areas of the boot lid and tops of the rear wings have faded slightly resulting in a slight colour difference. I asked him could it be solved by painting them but he says it will only highlight other faded areas and before you know it the whole car will be getting done.

Most days it doesn't bother me.... but somedays Im mentally writing a cheque for a top quality respray.

His advice: Leave it alone as it doesnt warrant a full respray.

Has anyone else had a similar problem?
