slanty 8 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Not too clued up on timber types but need to do some woodwork inside my 1983 Lotus 9.2. Any thoughts on what I'm dealing with? Looks like oak to me but not sure that's very commonly used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmer 43 Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Looks like mahogany to me although fresh machined timer has a very red colour to it over the years U V bleaching tends to take it into that oak or teak like coloring. Sadly any new work will be a much more red colour for a period. We often use yellow stains to help blend new timber with existing 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eruptn 95 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 If it's the hole around the radio I agree the Fusion insert works very well, that was this afternoon's task. Swapped out old car cassette player for RA60. Insert made it easy and tidy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, you need an Fusion RA770. Don't short change yourself with RA60 you'll regret it. "I only need a RA60!" - said no ketch owner ever! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No. Sounds like it's time to convert your CD collection to digital and get rid of that dead weight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 That's nothing, there are boxes of vinyl in our storage unit. We've been playing Spotify since discovering it about a year ago, played from the tablet to a Bluetooth speaker that gets moved around as required. So the car radio isn't doing a lot. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvarkash10 954 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 any time you want more storage space, let me know - keen on any vinyl. Except for Khamal. You can send those to Sallies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Angela won't let them go, Juan Luis Guerra, Tonia La Negra, Paloma San Basilio. If you tell me you know them I'll be astounded. But now you know why people don't anchor too close to us (or why we don't anchor too close to Booboo🤣🤣). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aardvarkash10 954 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 haha! Love me some TexMex rock, Mexican swing, mariachi, and SOTB stuff. It's not a big distance to Angela's taste for me. Perhaps a Spencer raft up is in order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BP a man of you stature surely would be using 8 track😀 Ever listened to Pink floyd "Dark side of the moon"on Vinyl?? Has far more detail than a CD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Wish I had known. There was some world class mexican music trapped in nz earlier this year. Shes coming to sing at Angela's mum's 100th birthday in 6 months. That's why we're keen to be able to travel by then. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Black Panther 1,581 Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 The other fun thing is trying to translate the lyrics. They tend to be overdone and flowery and don't always translate well. Like this The song is called Love Bubbles and my best guess at one verse is I want to swim up your river and blow love bubbles. (Have we hijacked this thread? I was looking at the interior photos to find a colour for our upholstery that goes with varnished wood.) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
