any tips?
No, after tidying up i've burried the buffer so i gave them to the metal polishers and i really just couldnt be arsed...lol
Tips. Dont do the inlet. The casing is utter sh*te and there is alot of hard to get to areas. Dizzy, get sanding. The casting isnt back but again there are hard to get to bits but they can be done with a bit of time.
Just had a quick read.
Didn't realise yoyu were sticking a tur-blow in!
Looking good matey.
might as well paint it then or chrome it?
Matrin: Kinda found one cheap ish, soi it would have been rude not too. Thank you very much, means alot from a man of your long serving legendaryness(might not be a word but who cares)
Sparkie, you have to polish metal before you chrome it, or it will just be a dull off gold is colour. Paint it is the best way.
Done a lil today..
Oo shiney.

Tidyed up too.
oo more shiney bits how many more?
Looking good Ben, admire the amount of time going into polishing bits. I've done a few things on mine and totally underestimated the time involved. I started doing my T40 inlet and after a good 20-30 hours I'm only halfway there (haven't touched it for a few months it made me that sick hehe).
Can't wait to have a good look round it later in the year at the shows. Keep it up :thumb:
cheers! paint it shall be then, unless someone else polishes it whilst im working(that wasnt a hint)
shiny stainless bolts is alays a winner
looks grrrrreat
Lots!Quote:

Glad its getting there fella....... Firewall looks well, No high build on the crossmember though?? Is that not finished yet?
No, he wants to trimthe corners abit more first, and tidy the filler up. Should be doing that to moz i hope.
Cool... I'd stoneguard that with the same gear on the inner arches etc :)Quote:

Yeah me too, was a bit worried at first but now very glad i did it.
Have just got in from the bodyshop. Cars getting painted tomoz so it should be home back tomorrow afternoon... Yay.
Bays been repainted, crossmember sealed, i've seam sealed bits that had been welded on the bulk head, screens out, scuttle has been repaired and primerd and the old battrey camp bit removed, grille primerd too.

I stoped in and made the tea, while steve was flatting the first lot of primer off.

So should be home to moz :)
While back i bought a door, and a new styled audi handle.. When i got home had a nice surprice... They had come.
Even tho the door was very well wraped the monkeys had managed to bent one corn and put a nice dent in the middle, but mr hammer and miss dolly can sort that out...

I take you have both doors mate and I spent ages looking for the army dude in the pictures and couldn't spot him anywhere
I have one door ready done, and the plate ready to fit to the other door.
Didnt have change to get the army man.
Yay good to see that the painting is happening bud!
Was allways gonna happen..lol
Looking good, nice touch on the Audi handles
I love the look of fresh primer :D
What happened with the door then :eek: it's a fair crack in it! Those handles though look cracking pardon the pun :roll: lol
I hopefully will look nice.Quote:

Is there no way of claiming from the couriers then or you not bother because they will get sprayed anyway. It's crap when things like that happen though.
How long till you can start reassembling everything again then?
Dont think so, would think its written in the terms.
And i'll be painting them anyway so i'll hammer it stright and repair it.
looking good matey i love this car :thumb:
sorery the doors got damged benn, ****in ****ers.. at least u got skillz n cant sort it..
:D
Love the look of the smooth bay, great work, should look top when painted.
