TVR Griffith 500

[imported_Axe]

Hi everyone,

well for the last 3 days I have done 3 full AND PAID details (one per day), I am posting this first detail (which was the last of the three, but I finished it today) will maybe post the others tomorrow or another day as different threads as there are too many pictures for the poor modem people (bless), and it takes too long to do them all right now, sorry I am tired!



OK, so this project was a TVR Griffith 500 (I think V8), an 11 year old somewhat neglected car, this beast is capable of 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, the body is made of fibreglass! I wasn`t at all sure how this would work out, but in the end it seemed quite a good result, let me know what you think.



My process,

Wash BMW shampoo

Clay (Yellow)

Wheels BMW acid

Tyres Z16

Interior Leather Z10

#83 and SFX1 pads to attempt to remove swirls

#80 and SFX2 pads to reduce marring from #83

AIO on green sonus pads

NXT blue sonus pad

P21s by hand



BEFORE .....

The following two images show how the #83 did a reasonable job on hiding/removing the swirls









AFTER ...

BEFORE INTERRIOR ....





AFTER INTERIOR .... I know not a big improvement, but this was 11 years of total neglect I tried

I like them one per day`s myself. It gives you time to do a great detail like the one you posted. That car is a trip, kinda funky kinda cool. Is there a funky space between the door and front fender, or is that just a funky angle?

great job! the interior looks pretty wore out...did you get a chance to drive it after?

[imported_Axe]

Ya the leather was completely gone, never been touched in 11 years, I will be driving it on the weekend. Yes Burlyq, that is a `funky space` between the doors, very weird huh ?

TVR...is that a Russian make??

[HowardPearson]

The TVR`s are the only british cars that I would ever consider to buy.

[eclipsegt05]

I`ve never seen that car before, but as for the color, that`s how it should be represented



great transformation

Mike,



Yeah, TVR is owned by a young Russian. Abramovich`s friend...

Love the TVRs! The blue is also a personal preference.



Nice job! Can`t wait to see the other two.

The TVR was the car in Swordfish right?

No, but the Tuscan was .
