As always, I've gone too far and I'm in deeper than I need to be and than I ever planned to be.
The extra work will make for a lovely finished car and one that's ready to do another 36years of reliable service...
Ive also been shopping (a lot) so the next video will be a fun one.

Hi !
I have one right glass lens headlight for the RHD . Cibie. Very good condition.
wow thats the first chrome in a can paint thats actually not just silver ive ever seen headlamps look great what a saving
Thanks, expensive but worth it!
@@Resto.Nation definitely, out of interest there is a audi coupe GT same spec as this without a mot on ebay right now, sales in hour or so, interesting to see what it goes for
@@paulhunter123 I’m watching that one. Looks like an interesting project…
yeah shame its so far from me, if the seller could provide any less info i think he wud, if he even took it for an mot and it failed it wud still have been beneficial to the sale. what do you reckon it will go for, im saying 4k and a bit
@@paulhunter123 haha there’s a reason that he/she won’t mot it… and it says 1.8? Would that still be a 5 cylinder? Mines a 2.2kv
Wow those headlight reflectors ...please take a 10/10 from me.
Thanks! The paint was worth the extra money.
I have a 1984 GTE, which I've had from new. At the last MOT I was told to have the headlight reflectors rechromed at the earliest opportunity. I tried one spray can of another brand, which wasn't very good so I removed it with thinners. Strangely some of the original good reflective surface also came off. This got me thinking that they were painted, rather than chrome plated originally.
I think they were silvered from factory not chromed. The go chrome by stardust colours that I used was perfect! And the heat resistant paint for the bulb reflectors held up well too. Well recommended, but not cheap paint.
I have just come across this channel at precisely the right time to start rolling up my sleeves and tackling my B2 90 Quattro.
I cannot thank you enough for this quality content... Subscribed!😀
No worries. Glad your enjoying. More content is on its way 👍🏻
This is Amazing to watch, my first car is going to be a coupe gt, wich is very rare here in Portugal, a costumer from my parents shop is going to sell his audi for me this year, i´m very excited.
Sounds epic! Enjoy it 😎
Looking good so far
Any news on the healey?.
not yet. hopefully soon...
Would you say that the stardust chrome paint is worth the premium over the other brands ? Being £40 a can
It’s the only one I’ve used but it was quality! I was expecting big things for the price tho…
@@Resto.Nation i’d expect big things aswell! Or Wether it would be much more expensive to send them off to be rechromed ?
Currently stripping the front end off my coupe gt and hopefully it can look half as good as your done
@@mikeyalcock5729 I’m not sure if you can get them re chromed? When I read up on it, they were finished with a process call silvering from memory?
@@Resto.Nation i see, i couldn’t manage to get the top screws loose on both the headlights today so i’ll probably drill them out to avoid the risk of breaking the plastic.
I’ll probably end up paying for the stardust chrome. Thanks for the tips!
@@mikeyalcock5729 good luck! Any time 👍🏻
