Benn-We'll see, but its definently staying std xe for now(bar Sbd exh manifold and Irmy powercap)
Should be off up MachineMart tomorrow to pickup some welding bits!!! And will then crack on with the welding. Going call in Factors/Halfords too to see if they sell spray cans in my colour, but im betting 20quid that they dont. According to paints4u.com they stopped using the colour in 1986...., and its Beryll-Silver Moss Green Metallic lol
Just get a paint surplyer to make you two cans of it, even halfods can do that.
Benn - what i was going to say, they dont even stock miami blue! lol
Always knew that shell would suit you ad lol. Good luck with it dude.
Will call in tomorrow :)
Lol, i tried that ad, to no avail, lots of place made them for me, but none matched. I ended up having half a litre mixed up and went for it with a borrowed spray gun!
Doh! :(
Its just the bay that will need a quick blow over after its been welded up....
So hopefully you might not notice a colour mis-match, as it'll only be in the bay....
I have a compressor and a cheap gun you're welcome to borrow, looks much better done with a gun imo. (may even have some old paint lying around somewhere too!)Quote:

Sounds like a plan.
No probs ad, pm or txt me.
Bit of work today. Removed the sound deadening off the firewall, and cracked on with cleaning the bay seams up. No seam sealer and Nitromors FTW lol

Bit of surface rust by the turret, still nice and solid as fook though :D

Hopefully on with the welding tomorrow.
Also bought some "Vauxhall Silver Green Metallic" from Halfords, which looks spot on... Will see how close the match is.
Looks like the whole bay will need a quick respray, especially where the sound deadening has been stuck on for so long.....
Isnt the sound deading quite rare to find in good nick? i bet you ruined it when taking it off? :(
Probably is?
I had quite a laugh ripping it in bits when getting it off! :p lol
Meh il LET you off this once. lol

So cracked on with the new one, weapon of choice. Worlds smallest mig welder :( Converted it to run on Gas, and have to say it welds a **** load easier/better than with gasless wire...

Bay just needs prepping/sanding down, and then re-spraying. :thumb:
Good progress Adam :D
Yesss mate, looking awesome!
I've got £4000 burning a hole in my pocket now...hmmm...
Cheers lads :)
Hopefully might get the bay fully in primer tomorrow.
Welding doesn't look bad, doesn't have to be artwork long as it stays in one piece lol Harder than it looks too, had my first go at uni yesterday, automatic mask makes it 10x easier too!
Nice welding, simple welders = win.
Seam sealer... Vom.
Good start Adam.
lol @ Benn
Should look ok when its properly primed, and painted :)
Wont let me rep you.
I need a simple welder.
This welder cost me 30notes lol
And the gas bits cost me about 32quid from MM the other day.
Its payed for itself about ten times over.... lol
Good progress ad!
top effort you have been repped.
Mine was free, just needed gas and wire..lolQuote:

Same welder as mine Ad, mines just got some mods on lol wheels and sheet like lol really good machines TBH. Pure C02 is what you want to be using for seam or stitch welding anyway :thumb:
EDIT: What mask you using? An autodarkening or a old skool pish pot helmet?
