What can I say, on reflection I think I would prefer to set my nuts on fire & put them out with a mallet than go through this filthy, dirty bloody horrible process again!!!
Still, it's now done & all there is to do on the chassis is replace an old patch that's looking a bit rough. Mind you, it looks a bugger to do!! Might get myself a cheaply welder & have a go myself.
Sorted rear crossmember out with zinc paint (zinc 182) In fact, the chassis looks good from the middle crossmember forwards, the tatty bit is around the rear wheels. It's been patched, but they look a bit crap to be honest. I want to tidy that bit up with one big patch on each side. Anyone done anything like this. What gauge of steel should I use to patch it etc??
I have also made up my mind about colour, I think sand allover is my choice. I would welcome Stephen Hulls directions on prep & application of this stuff. I would like to do it myself, but would really want a matt finish.
I'm on a roll at the minute, I changed the oil & the things churning blue smoke at start-up now. I looked at the oil I put in & I must have picked up the wrong one!! It's thinner than Duncan Goodhews hair!! So, I need that changing again!!
