Taitel track and field

[Shinydaz]

Only needs a little bit of work:

Clean up rusty control panel, paint and fit new cpo.
Repaint metal work.
Remove scratches from front glass.

Is this the one you picked up recently?

 

[Shinydaz]

Yes it is, it's in great condition apart from what needs doing above.

 

[forcefulfil]

Ooo!
Very nice!
Good work so far..

 

[Shinydaz]

I think the original buttons would have been red blue red Phil, can you remember?

 

[Brettster]

Looking good
What will you use to remove the scratches on the glass? I have a scratch on the inside of my car windscreen that I'd like to remove

 

[Shinydaz]

Well I did restore my car headlights with fine sandpaper and fine grinding compound with water. This however is something I don't want to screw up, as I can't just buy a new glass for this, unlike my headlights. I have done a little research and will probably use Cerium Oxide Powder, I'll try it on a scrap piece of glass first. These scratches don't catch your finger nails (Not that I have any) so fingers crossed they should be able to polish out.Darrenwall2016-04-04 19:25:01

I remember playing a Taitel Track and Field on a ferry to France.

Good results so far with the CP. It looksvery nice all primed and ready.

Good luck with the glass, gently does it.

Good start mate look forward to seeing the new overlay fitted. Enjoy!

Phil put me to shame when I picked it up, with his robotic fingers.

 

[strykr]

Cp's come up nice! Red white and blue leafs should do nicely

 

[Shinydaz]

Looking forward to seeing your handy work Rich

 

[Shinydaz]

Anyone point me in the direction of some leaf buttons, all I can find is microswitch ones.

 

[Shinydaz]

Here's a pic of the scratches, fingers crossed they come out.

Got the cpo off Muddy today, cheers Olly, so I promptly got it on, looks great.

Big thanks to strykr for your efforts, just need the correct coloured buttons to finish it off. I have just spotted some buttons in the bottom compartment of the cab but don't have a key for it.

WOW!
Congrats to all involved!
Looks superb now

 

[muddymusic]

Fantastic! Glad I could help a bit, of course Strykr deserves the credit for doing the vector work - it's really nice to have that art done as I've never seen one of these cabs with a full cpo, they are always either missing completely or badly damaged.
