Macca Posted 15July, 2016 Report Share Posted 15July, 2016 Exciting times Jeff. Really enjoying the series and can't wait to see how she turns out.

MFX Posted 15July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 15July, 2016 Holy poop! Chris!! ?Yeah, I know. My wife has accused me of having a man crush on him for a couple of years now. I just wish I got better footage. I don't think he was that keen to be on camera, so I just had a chat with him. Great guy. Another subscriber to these video's, great stuff. Thanks mate. I have been away for the last few weeks, so that is why there haven't been any updates (we chose to leave France on just the right day...). Now I am back and it is full steam ahead. Hopefully the next update will be by the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted 23July, 2016 Report Share Posted 23July, 2016 Well done Jeff! Shame about the runs, but as you said, they'll rub out. Are you using Acrylic or 2-pack? I'm sure you said which previously, but i'm too lazy to go back and look. I'm interested because I need to do some refinishing on my Ducati, and tossing up between Acrylic and 2-pack.PS - Just watched episode 13 of Project Binky - the good news is that it's up to the usual excellent standard; the bad news being that it'll be a couple of months until the next...

You need to have good ventilation, and the correct mask, etc, but 2 pack is easier to paint and gives a much better finish than acrylic. I would go 2 pack every time.Yeah, I was over the moon when I saw a Project Binky update this morning. I sat down with a fresh coffee and made sure I was comfortable before I started watching. The only down side as you say is that it will be at least a couple of months before the next one Rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P-Kay Posted 23July, 2016 Report Share Posted 23July, 2016 I can confirm that black may play a part in the graphics (a big tiger on the bonnet has black stripes yeah? ).Gotta have the Home Built Crest in colour on top of a matte black bonnet? That was my immediate mental image when you started talking 'graphcs' Nice work by the way, getting mighty close now..... MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 24July, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 Is that Rob's first car, singer no 1 ? If not its the same color sceme I don't think it is Rob's original car, as that is not fully Singerfyed from memory. That looks like a full blown Singer. tomo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have actually decided now that I am going to rebuild my existing engine myself. It would be a cop out to just whack in an engine after coming this far I am looking at doing a nice warm 2.7RS type engine, with hopefully progressing to ITB's and EFI as it evolves. tk111, TE911 and BJM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozvino Posted 24July, 2016 Report Share Posted 24July, 2016 Jeff, the wife was out last night so I cracked a beer and watched your YouTube videos on the 60" TV. This was after watching that batshit boring Car Chronicals - you are seriously a better presenter than those guys and I found your content more interesting. Keep it up mate, your car is going to be a gem. Btw - did you know that you photo bombed the Porsche Club Vic magazine with Magnus?Dave Macca, GTP911, MFX and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
