850 Bumper and trim restoration

I've been wanting to restore the bumper covers and trim on Sveedy for some time, but have put it off due to not being able to find a good product in, and here's the key, the right color. The bumpers and trim on 850's are a sort of charcoal gray color, not true black, and like most plastic covers, mi...

Very cool !
And I like the offset stripes. I didn't realize that the carpet nap was long enough to do that.

Re: 850 Bumper and trim restoration

Solution finish only sell in the states, and someone in the UK only sells black through ebay. For a hefty 104 Dollars ... Looking for alternatives. Well Clemens, I stopped by a FedEx store today to ask about shipping to Austria. They asked where exactly, and I just said the middle of the country. C...

Re: 850 Bumper and trim restoration

Two different colors from a different manufactures that are connected in a round about way, from what I can tell. The gray has a note on the bottle - " From the founder of Solution Finnish ". Same bottle and directions. So maybe a split-up of some sort between founders, and one got to keep...

Turned down an offer of a trade for a 911, can’t carry anything in that except feelings of inadequacy.

Re: What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

We usually leave the existing 1 x sheathing and go over it with 1/2" ply. Makes for a nice flat firm roof.
New houses often just have the 1/2" ply, and not only are they squishy to walk on, but you can often see the trusses telegraphing through the new roof.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Gave the 850 a quick wash early this morning before heading out to Lesmahagow and the Auchlochan Car Show A1.jpg A2.jpg A3.jpg A4.jpg I'm very jealous ! :) It seems like you get to participate in a car show every week or two. And on a nice lawn as well. Nothing like that around here. Your baby look...

Re: What non automotive projects and repairs are you doing?

Plywood all the way ! Take a piece of 1/2" OSB, and hit it as hard as you can with a hammer. You will ( should ) be able to bust a near perfect hole right through the panel. Now try that with 1/2" plywood. Not happening. Plywood is more expensive, as it has to be made from continuous venee...

Re: Cancer/illnesses, and caregiver, support thread

Regarding much of what I've read here; I think the idea is to take the most circuitous, scenic route possible, to our inevitable destination.
At least that's what I'm trying to do.
