I have all the gold bits on my brown saloon rocker cover, belt cover etc were sprayed hammerite - if you look at the biggest tin in the shop it gives you instructions on the thinners to paint ratio you need to use. It comes out wellQuote:

The insides look white?
Or have I missed something?

Til next time'
nice work there bud !!! wish i had a workshop so i could crack on !!! mite have to have a little look see when i pop up to get the doorcards and that paul:)
I would like to run a dash bar across, but also want to keep the dash, it wont fit behind the dash, is too high above the dash and just not feasible beneath the dash, so think im sh!t out of luck there :(
No probs kev give me a call closer to the time.
Paul
Will the dash bar not fit sat right up against the bulkhead welded to the front triangulation bits? As this is where an spi loom runs and they're not exactly small.
looking good buddy :)
Shame the cage didn't use the wiring loom hole I cut out lol
Looking good as per normal :)
So been down the breakers this morning, got a new pair of lower arms, another heater matrix and some saab reds for the XE...
Xe on reds?
Must be running some power, or low pressure?
TBs, so about 200ish bhp.
Welding looks sound!
Don't hang about do you Paul! Took me weeks to triangulate the front lol
Dash bar hmm, could drill off the inner skin to gain more room but you're losing the box section so seems a bit silly.
great progress mr paul.
looked real good seeing it with me own eye's.
nice workshop size too

Now have a GSi bumper, just need wings, headlights+grill which Im hoping to aquire within the next few days!
