Gentlemen,
back to the 400. I, the man at work
, am nearing completion on the 400 that comes "from a land downunder". I wonder how many 80's fans get that one
I was quite Ill for a week so no progress but this week I managed to get some hours into it. Now due to the fact that I only have a lightweight 250W buff I decided not to go for Toms High Gloss "Roaring Mirror" finish but instead go for the "I am not an aluminium "play play" motor, I am a bad***** steel engine" look.
First I sanded the worst scratches with 800 and 1000 grain wet paper. After that I went with a sisal buff and brown compound for the rough part. Last step is the cloth buff with blue compound. I must say this whole polishing business makes a hell of a mess in the workshop
I am quite satisfied with the outcome. Hope to have the engine cough its first strokes on the weekend
