Tar = like crude oil, but thicker/stickier. Usually used on roads

Oh ok. Thanks Jonny. Now I know.
Isn't it an oily liquid like white spirit? |

Body trimmed down & edges tidied up, then windows & whole outside masked.
Sprayed, & peeled. Blue was a lot darker than I'd have liked, thought I could lift it with a load of white vinyl. Didn't much like that, so peeled a lot of the white & added sponsor decals (all spare repro). Still don't much like it, but I'm waiting on some 0.5mm Aluminium sheet so I can make a roof to cover all the extra holes, and some matt black vinyl for an anti-glare panel in front of the windscreen - and the parts for the rear body clip. I'm also going to add a driver & some white stripes either side of the ridges on the front.

Moving on to the Scorcher shell, the glass came up a little better than it appears in the photo (400 grit wet & dry up 2000 grit, then Novus Heavy Scratch Remover, then Fine, then Clean & Shine),
Red paint was really, really thick, followed by grey primer, the odd traces of other colours (black, green, yellow, white i think) - unfinished photo is after at least 3 attempts with the end of my De-Solv-It gel, later pics are after somewhere between 6 & 9. Note the filler & glass fibre/resin - both are lifting at the edges & will need completely removing. Number plates are (possibly) a bonus, PO has attempted to remove them & broken the rear & damaged the edges of the front Lots of work here then ... |

I added the white stripes & matt black anti glare panel to the polycarb TMS body, decided I hated it much less like that & thought I'd do a less half-assed job of it ...
After peeling & polishing, I reworked the panels to make them slightly smaller & extend on to the front stripes, and cut them out in "ivory" SA vinyl. I broke into two new (MciRacing) decal sheets rather than using leftovers this time The modded re-re Buggy Champ got panels on the roof & in front of the driver, plus the racing/sponsor decals left from my Jagermeister TT body. |

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate
