robola 46 Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 After some serious thinking, I made an attempt to cover the little cone with carbon fibre. The first attempt went wrong from the start, but sometimes you need these setbacks to get back on track, and to think about what youve done wrong. The second attempt went better, but I must say that my hat of tricks…is empty again. Today was the day to see if it was really good. After some abrading, I saw that I went perfectly. The one thing that needed to be done is to bring on a set of epoxi-layers. Since the cone is round, the epoxy would drip off the carbon fibre, so there would be more epoxi on the floor, then on the carbon fibre. In my hat, I had another trick left. So I put a stang through the cone, and made 2 aluminium bracelets. Then I mounted this with the stand on to a little motor. I also added some adjustable feeding, to I could begin with my first layer of epoxy. Here you can see how I did it. lets roast the cone Cause the cone is turning now, the epoxi cant drip off. Here you can see theres a lot of epoxi on there, and its still nice and smooth after the first layer. I let this turn for about 2 hours, untill the epoxi didnt stick anymore. After that I put it into the oven. The next few days I can abrade it firmly, and give it another layer of epoxi. At the end of the cone, Im going to make a little aluminium piece to finish it off. Im really happy I managed to do this, because it was that could go terribly wrong, but it worked out fine. Up to the next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Here a FULL CARBON update...OOO YEAHH This is how the cover of the front seat looks now… Because I dont like big surfaces of carbon fibre, I replaced the little net. That took a lot of work, cause I had to adjust it completely. As you can see, I sprayed the sides of the net in silver, like the original moldings of the bimmer. When you look at this picture, it looks almost like a carbon roof with a spoiler. Under the little sloth you see, Im going to mount some leds who will function like the interiorlight. Here its all mounted in the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Man o man..I may have missed this, but is the biggest project you've done or is there more in your arsenal? Believe me dude, there’s lots to do…cause I still have got some ideas. Sounds good, no ? Thats nutty you just cut an amp in half. I love it the cone looks pretty Can I ask you a personal question? Is that you and your wife on the avatar? You look like a happy couple. You're going to do a steam roller? Sorry, I love that old truck. I have to say though, it will be completely different than the BMW since the styling is so much different. Edit: hmm, is that an old picture? The trim isn't black anymore. Yes indeed, that picture is a couple of years old. this is probably the cleanest bmw i have ever seen. i have seen this on another forum as well and i am amazed by the work Indeed, I like my car to be supertidy and clean, and sometimes I exaggerate a bit… OK how to put this... its not one of the best builds ever... its not maybe the best build ever... it IS the best build ever... seriously mate, props to you for this one, its insane, you have the patience, precision and SKILL of a GOD... Congratulations... Thanks dude, that’s a saying that I’ll remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need more pics of the bmw No, the trunk just stood there, and the photographer would like the have a picture of the trunk. Nothing more about that.
