Ghostchips Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 So i hope this means you're back in the country. Are you going for the restored look or get it mechanically right & revel in the scruffy missing interior & trim look? Maybe scuff off the worst flakes & linseedoil/clearcoat it to preserve the 'history'? It's pretty liberating not having to worry about keeping something perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and 100% yes to the as is where is part. Tell me more about preserving the paint? It tends to rub off easily on fingers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tends to rub off easily on fingers. Depends what you're trying to preserve & what it's like underneath. A plastic scotchbright pad will dull shiny paint but will also remove loose paint, if you've seen my car lately you'll see i just mixed turps & linseed oil & brushed it on, dries to a matt finish & brings old paint back to life, for a short time, then it goes yellow or brown tinged as it oxidizes. Clearcoat doesn't do that. I've heard people prefer a semi-matt clearcoat as opposed to a gloss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember the list I sent you but do need a lot - mostly on the hunt for a steering box and drag link to start the conversion. Will try get the engine out and check how fiddled with it is haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 he doesn't have any rx2 stuff, he said its getting hard to find here due to people in the same situation as you wanting to convert to rhd he suggested might be easier to find what you need in Australia from a 616 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
