hi if any-ones intrested ftooc are holding a mini meet at unit 53 sandyway,tamworth,b77 4ds tommorow(sunday)meeting at maccy d,s first 9.30-10-30 at ventera park,then moving on to the unit,last time we had 20 cars,all are welcome if any one fancys a day out

rear chassis rail rust,roof rust and top flitches ,espicially under the fuse box,are the worst area,s of concern on these,but as still a v6 that likes to be reved,is,nt that great on fuel,lol

ford st orange is called electric orange and is a 3 stage pearl,even £200 is a bargain,wish i had some friends like that

blooming normally applies to trapped damp air (condensation) and you should really nib back to the previuos before it started as it may dissapear when the warm weathers here but have seen it come back when it gets cold ,plus you run the risk of it lifting and flacking in time to come,sorry may not be what you want to here but seen it happen

lol,wanted to make it mate,bit flat out at the mo,plus trying to get the beast done,plus it,s got a couple of new mods now lol, any chance on doing the next one on a sunday,its easier to get a day away from church than work ,lol

fair point ,but who pays for rectifing a poorly moulded panel ,every-thing can be made to fit and be re-paired ,you would charge the same price to fit a geniune panel with not much fuss as a pattern panel panel that you say needs a little nip and tuck with a grinder and mig?

velocity red as on the rx8 ,its a pearl

lol you got a pic of my car in there

hi mate you have to shave the to[p and bottom lips off the reinforcer and relocate the little brackets on the bottom of it to the side a bit more for the open mouth part should slip straight on then hth

hi mate if its still tacky after 4 days,the mix must have been wrong,are the hardner and thinner tins alike ,and you might have mixed them up,plus how old is the laquer as you should,nt be using it with thinners really now days ,plus if you managed to mop it up it must be going off ,if only the door is the prob you could just flick the door again and see if it reacts again before pulling it all back off,if it goes o.k but the laquer still marks i,d be tempted to give a 1500 all over then re-laquer the lot with perhaps some compliant laquer that dont need thinners ,hope you get it sorted mate

with-out seeing it mate sounds more like over load of the laquer ,you using thinners in your clear coat? probally no use to you now but on the chance you run out again on a part panel start at the opposite end and flash up to where you ran out or you might have a reaction(silicone etc)try flatting it down and mopping back up try not to break through the clear coat as this can be sealing the cause of the problem hth

think you need the powers of photo-shop cause i think i,m right the more i look at it lol

i think if you had cut the bottom slats out,to open them up it would look a lot better,top looks great ,bottom looks odd compared to the top hth

hopefully its just scratched the polish?nothing worse than roaming cats or birds with big ar**s lol the flying type i mean lol

is it me but your avatar looks like the sculpture on the bonnet lol

zedworld ,only in tamworth mate

ford rs frozen white,new transit white lol merc artik,sprinter white lol look great on cars and so bland on vans have to admit pick one that can be matched if any-thing happens so you dont have to have a respray to get it to match

i thought it was hilarous and what makes it top class tv,even the missus loves it

ideal mate,ticks all the box,s and a good price to

hi mate they are as you say cr*p get your self a variable leccy one with soft start

you got a bargain mate,but you paid 450 mates rates and the bumper and lights are still in and i assuming it a swb slicky (nice)but smaller and a bear metal would mean in all the areas you still got coverd?be-hind lights and rear panel etc lol were splitting hairs now may be materials are alot cheaper your way was it done in solvent

if you can get enough black pearl plus laquer to paint a whole zed for £120,i must be doing somut wrong:confused1:

hi mate from your pics of your respray though yours was spot primerd in a few areas,so only them areas needed to be coloured then may-be a ghost coat over being silver a fully primed re-spray would have to be coloured all over,was yours done in solvent or water,so how much did you pay mates rates

fair point but how many linishing discs and da pads do you think it would take to bare metal a zed and before any-one mentions paint stripper as often happens ,what happens when it gets in to areas that cant be treated,(rust)plus think you,ll agree about 6-700 in paint ,primer,etch for the ali bonnett and laquer then you,ve got your filler and tape and paper,flatting paper,pre clean and stone chip ,i think you,ll find i aint far off lol

and the rest lol,to bare metal all glass plus plastics eg bumpers,handles will have to be re-moved,not to mention all lights etc i would say a week to a week and a half to bare metal then you,ve got to repair ,re-paint then put back to-gether looking at a months work flat out and thats if you dont find no nasties and your prob talking over £1200 of materials,my view this is others may differ
