not bad! lookin good mate, hows that motor going btw?

Jason[98.EL] · 28-11-2005, 06:59 PM

doing a bit more prep tonight found some rust on passenger side rear wheel arch so a bit more work involved

but if i want it looking good i need to fix it properly

Jason[98.EL] · 30-11-2005, 07:52 PM

well after a bit of advice from wayne (MADNC_8) and a few others i have been told the front drivers door should realy be replaced but as allways it means more money which i dont have

so if anyone has a drivers door free to good home ill have it

thanx for your time

I feel your pain, i had some moron in a Pajero throw open his door straight into the side of my BA less than 24 hours after i picked it up brand new. The amount of people i see in car parks just throwing their doors open, not looking at all.. give me the irrits. If it helps, i usually try to find either a new, expensive, or done up car to park next to at the shops lol.

hope u kicked there door in!!!. i would lose it if i saw someone doing that to my car. especially if my hand got jammed in between. no respect.
i also try to do the same, find a car thats nicer then your own,and park there. it usually stays pretty safe.

Nice work there mate.

Gubas · 30-11-2005, 09:00 PM

Nice work Jase. Are you putting a coat of clear over the top of the undercoat while you drive it around? Apparntly when the colour is ready to goe on, you just rub back the clear coat a bit. I dont know if its the best way of doing it. I was told its a good way to do it if your spending a bit of time fixing up the body progressivly.

Good luck mate!

Jason[98.EL] · 30-11-2005, 09:44 PM

gubas....,,,,,,,,,,,, i dont need to as it will be fully painted in 2-3 weeks so its not to long between drinks for it

ahh there is a perfectly good reason for this

undercoat is porous(sp), meaning if you leave a car in primer for a while water will get under the paint and rust the crap outa the panels...

if you're doing it fairly quickly it wont really be a worry but anymore than a few weeks and i'd be clear-ing it

Jason[98.EL] · 02-12-2005, 06:34 PM

some more news on the old girl

as of today the ea will be painted profesionally

run into a old schoo; mate and he is a panel beater spraypainter and he has offered to paint to do the paint job (i have to supply the paint ) for a slab of crownies

hows that for luck

Stevo · 02-12-2005, 07:25 PM

Would your mate do my panelvan for 4 slabs ?
