Phil, that looks like a S2 SE. Correct? When did this shunt happen and do you still have the car today?

No words but you could say gleaming in the (almost) November sunshine
Of course they look good from any angle but are the proportions best from above?

Hassop? As good a place as any, he jumped down from the rail car. Something`s not right. Who is this dude; Trevor, who runs interesting cars on Sunday mornings? There`s a line up of European sports and the odd sedan but no rolling stock. Turns out the railroad shut down in `66. He was out in Guam then with brother Joe, mom Josie and pop Stan, a major in the U.S. marines.
And what`s with this Lodus Elarn? 1973 but smart as a Silver Star and as cute as that honey in the coffee shop. If this is dream, he thought, dream on?

Using International Epoxy Gelshield. Takes 5 coats alternating Green & Grey. Great Osmosis protection and hard as Hell!

Paul, thanks, yes I'm very pleased.
Believe it or not, the epoxy (2 pack) is rollered on. One small mini tray does what you see each time. I use a synthetic mohair roller. The sponge type disintegrate :shock:
I buy it on ebay through pace marine who are very good. It's about ?26 for 700ml but covers well. You get better smoother results if you flat it off a bit each coat but not really necessary until the final 2 coats.
I was advised to use this because it is non-absorbant like spray filler and seals the fibreglass that you can then use spray filler on top (all this is IMHO) no arguments please.
All the best,
Kev.
