Do you know what "Nemesis" means? A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent. Personified in this case by an 'orrible c*nt... me.

Good ol' aerosol (the flexi stuff you can paint plastic with). Also did the brake fluid reservoir and washer bottle the same. |

I have only recently started following your restoration. I love originality. Personally I love the memories that seeing a 'brand new' Carlton evokes. I also like the model you have chosen. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Well done

No problem, happy to help Appreciated Craig lovely work mate... im just gonna lock mine away now... Why you locking it away? You want it out in this weather. I'm gutted I haven't got mine on the road yet on days like this  I have only recently started following your restoration. I love originality. Personally I love the memories that seeing a 'brand new' Carlton evokes. I also like the model you have chosen. Looking forward to seeing it finished. Well done
Thanks diplomat2.6. I like originality too (with a few personal touches dropped in here & there). Each to their own, but I'm not really a 'modded' car fan, unless it's subtle and tasteful (a pink flipcoated Corsa with more skirts than M&S and bigger speakers in the boot than Knebworth is a no-no in my books). The Gsi was/is a beast of a car, and I'll be proud of owning a roadworthy one...when it's finished!! |

Don't be daft mate, sure, I've put the hours in on mine, but it's taken me years....and it's STILL not on the road. I'm so envious of all the folk on here, including yourself, who drive their Carly's/Senny's on a daily basis. I love seeing these old barges on the road no matter what condition they're in. As long as we can keep getting our 12 month tickets to keep them going it's all good |
