47p2's Cool Wall

[Night Train]

I wish my P5B looked a tenth as good as that

[47p2]

A couple of pics of the P5B would be good, is it a coupe?

I'm liking the old Rover a lot.

I'm a bit of a Rover fan having owned a number of models over the years.

Now my Rover collection consists of the 16 as above and a Range Rover, yes I know it isn't really a Rover any more but it is a great place to be when traversing the streets.











Paintwork was a mess when I bought it, but with some TLC it has come up a treat

[briang9]

you really do a stunning job with the paintwork, very impressive, do you do lessons

[47p2]

Thanks briand9, sadly I don't give lessons but could possibly do a short intro into the do's and don'ts of rectifying paintwork at a meet sometime. I am by no means an expert in this field, merely a keen amateur with many many years of experience.

It shocks people when you show them some of the things that can be done to paintwork until they see the end results.

Take for instance my old Range Rover which had been repainted before I bought it. The paintwork was fine for most, but me being such a pain in the ass decided to take a piece of wet & dry paper to it and see how I got on.

Every panel was sanded back with 2000 grade W&D until all the shine was off the clearcoat.






Then using a cutting paste it was buffed up until the shine returned




Then polished and a coat of wax

47p2, yes it is a coupe, in my ownership for 30 yrs now, nicely modified under the bonnet, but looking quite sad & having to leave my stable soon
