Testarossa - work in progress

Post by Miva »

Hi!

Some time ago i promised to share pictures of my work with Testarossa.

I found proper liquid for paint removing (paint is acrylic).
And something very bad happened :(
Body was destroyed by this remover

Image

But i don't give up. There will be Testarossa modification. :)

Next pictures soon.

Part 2

I cleaned body by removing destroyed surface with sandpaper 1200, 1500 and polished with car polishing paste, felt wheel and Dremel.

"Grilled" parts have to be replaced. Two parts are cut out already. I used Excel Light Duty Knife then Excel file and sandpaper 1200.
