Wire wheel, small to large, Toolstation ftw lol
U-pol acid etch primer,
Hammerite smooth, black and silver,
Job done.
That's what iv done for most of the bits for my Sport mate.
Powercoating is a option but this way is just as good and more satisfying IMO, and cheaper also.
Hammerite Smooth; Silver and Yellow ;)
Same here mate, but I though that I probably wouldn't have this opportunity to get all these bits off and sorted while the car is in bits and off the road, meaning there's no rush to get it done quickly.
Proved to be worth while as everything looks new. People think that the car has had all new parts, till I tell them that they are older than their kids at college or older than their girlfirend lol.
I just want it all to come together lol I'm a person who thinks 'F*ck, I've loads to do' instead of thinking 'I can do this this and this...Then get this and this another time'
I'm learning as I go along though :)
Only need two tools and the paintQuote:

Got almost everything there mate just need to buy the paint lol
I'll crack on tomorrow
Start a months job trial next Monday as a panel beater/spray painter so there'll be no updates for nearly a month providing I get the job...If I do get it, the updates will be less and less but hopefully I'll can get my Saturday back and work on the car then and have money to throw at it :)
Etch primer is a MUST if you done want rust coming back
I'm sure there's some there, if not I'll definately buy it :)
Cheers
Yep, best thing to use. Costs a bit more than normal primer but I used it on all underside/bare metal bits. Now I am worry free lol
That back axle looks familiar !
Theres a brand new set of shoes & cylinders inside it ;)
