Here are some boring pix of my car in a state is sanded and filled but its getting there. My mate is helping but I have decided to do most of the work myself (get my hand in) and when it comes to the spraying, well I am going to have a go at that too. Nothing wrong with trying a new thing is there?

 

Anyway I will feel better if I do it myself it sort of goes with the whole theme as I have done everything else myself :)

 

 

 

nice one vin, its good to get ya hand in

is it a quad turbo ;)

PMSL. No but they do look horny dont you think? :D

Nice one Vini, looking good mate :D

 

And nice one for getting stuck in, i have spent the last two days on my mates ramp doing my suspension and brakes myself (under his supervision of course :wack: )!!! Its hard work but it feels fantastic afterwards :D

 

Bodywork is hard graft mate, so much respect to you :bow: :bow:

Looking good. Don't blame you for doing it yourself, mines been in garages being done for over 20 months now :(

Thanks lads. Yeah the feel good factor when you get it right :)

Fookin hell Vijay. You should be screaming mate. I hope its worth the wait for you. Mine isnt going to be a fantastic job but I am confident it will be very presentable. :)

The main thing is you're learning on the way and not being funny, you say it won't be fantatsic but a lot of the jobs you pay for ain't all that ;) sure it'll come out well if you're prep work is good.

 

Good on ya for giving it a go yourself :bow:

Ready for primer now. So its coming along just fine.

 

 

 

surely it's not going to be painted in a garage and not in a booth?

Nice one Vini, coming along great bud :D :bow:

not a problem to the experts...life before booths;)

Its not exactly a garage. It is a bit shabby but its got all the equipment needed and there have been a few good re-sprays out of there to date.

 

Of course a proper booth would be nice but also expensive and as the saying goes..............beggers cant be choosers. :D

Nah? Thats not so mate. Anything can be repaired and TBH I am not looking for perfection. All in all so far its costing me about £300 in materials. Like I said I am doing it all myself. Well with my mates help but as far as using all proper equipment goes its my first attempt. So no, not perfection but I am confident it will be very acceptable. The worst thing is fitting the time in between shifts. I get about 2-3 hours a day after work but it will be ready for JAE. Whatever it comes out like it will be better than it was:D

good on ya mate:bow:

Thanks Bri. I wasnt being snotty by the way Lampy :rofl:

Done a few smaller jobs myself and would suggest for teh sake of a bit of extra leccy that a 500/1000watt light warming the panel up that is next to be sprayed will help you a bit....

hey how about doing a matt red and matt black finish, i think t would look great

Total respect you you Vini.:bow:

Got to admire anyone that has the guts to do it themselves.

Thanks Bri. I wasnt being snotty by the way Lampy :rofl:

 

thats ok mate i didnt realise you were doing the job yourself, thats different

:D The fookin thing is painted :D

 

The lungs are a bit heavy masked and extracters on and it still gets to you.

 

Pictures are not brill but will get some up soon. Its looking nice and the colour (radiant red) suits the car very well.

good call lad!!!

Cant wait to see it in two weeks time!
