Dum-Dums Bianca GTi6

[Dum-Dum]

So my carbon fiber ABS sheet turned up yesterday and I made the first door card. I tried the measure twice cut once and still failed at the door handle hole (realised i should of used the handle surround as a template).

Its not a bad material to work with apart from the fact if you cut it with a jigsaw the blade gets hot and so melts the edges of the 2 cut pieces and they melt back together after the blade has passed. Fortunately it is only 2mm so i can put a sheet on the bench and cut it with a knife.

Its held on with self tapping sheet metal screws as a pack of 100 was about £4 from screwfix and they come with a 8mm bolt head and a large metal/rubber washer.

I think it looks really good, just gotta do the other one but I couldnt be bothered today. also gotta do the windows as the polycarb turned up today.

   
   
   



Also trimmed the drivers door seal as the bit that goes over the carpet/trim as its no longer needed. Weighed 150g if anyone cares but with 2 doors and the boot (and the rear windows if the entire seals werent going) would be over half a kilo

   
   



Had a little bit of a bash at removing some tar from the floor, hoping itll be alot easier with some heat.

   


Really Ive been far too lazy today and done nothing. Im gonna really smash on with it over the next few days as Im off work. Ill get it weighed afterwards and see how light it is.
