now on the look out for a compressor :(
Looking good mate - i got my compressor from costco (you have to joint but its only £12 or so) its 150ltr and 3hp it cost just over £300 and its pretty good i've had it 3 years and give it **** and its been spot on (it will probably fail now i've said that!) It runs most things well ie paint gun, underseal gun nut gun etc but the only real bastid is the grinder or anything with a high air consumption.
Whats your budget?
im not really sure on budget, i watchin one on ebay local to me that finishes in a little while, its a 200ltr so should do the job lol
Thats awesome mate! wish i had a shell whirler to get under the car
Is that some new way of getting into clams / muscles then? lolQuote:
