my corona virus lockdown thread.....

[britlude]

Hi all, hope you are all keeping safe during these unusual times….. I can’t work from home and work has shutdown, so I’m having to find things to fill my time, and there’s an NSX to do list that has been sitting around for a while…..


First up was to remove the centre console, and redo the paint, it had lifted in a couple of places and a little aged, so out it came and a coat of paint added. Of course shops unavailable, so I made a colour out of several pots I had spare in the garage and went from there…..

While it was out, the volume knob had been intermittent on my after market stereo, so while I had access, that was popped out, stripped, repaired, rebuilt and re-installed… no frustrating volume control now!!! That’s only been a year or so!!!!


Anyhoo, while the centre console was out, the handbrake cover was tweaked to get the fit a little tighter and it all went back together!

Colour turned out quite nice


This is how it compared to the first green from the door inserts….

pretty good colour

So, these too were flatted back, primed, coloured and lacquered….

I’ve not refitted the trims behind the door handle, as I’m going to sort the broken tabs (as they usually are) later, either repair, or replace, depending how rich I feel!
