Lovely car mate welcome , what kind of figures is it runnning then

Im going to attend this i think is there any mention on how many spaces there are ?? Family must be devastated right now its a real shame Should be a good day for all enthusiasts from all corners of the car world ---------- Post added at 9:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 8:43 PM ---------- Also can anyone on a computer post the venue its now at as i cant find it on my phone all i know is it starts at one

Im sure there are people on here that have exparience doin this kind of this but i bet theres a wealth more knowledge on edition 38 mate

I see what you mean now craigowl and can understand not wasting your time doing things but i think it is one of those things if you havent done before i think you want to learn a have a go , once you have done it maybe then thats when you decide its a wast of time like polishing your own wheels (never again haha ) .like david said its quite rewarding if you can get a good finish . David what paint are you planning on using ? I think then i did my 16s it cost me around 40 quid for paint that was for primer colour coat and a 2k laquer plus the other bits like cups and stuff

Cheers owner85 thats some real good info there , the info on finding spots in the paint and how to rectify them is exactly what i need to learn and also i never knew that using a 2k primer was that benificial , ie that you can basicaly start over if you make a mistake without to much fuss I do remember visiting a welding forum a while back that had some good info about paint and body work but i cant remember the name of it for my life ---------- Post added at 9:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 9:14 PM ---------- Thanks for the offer ox but its a bit out of my range when i already have one sat in the garage , would be nice to have all new equipment but at the mo thats not gonna happen , cheers tho bud

To learn a new skill ? I assume you mean to build your own booth and possibly die breathing in toxic vapours , im a bit confused

Cheers for the info theres some good links there and the mask looks great ill deffo be wearing one as im not a fan of being dead , I wasnt to sure weather using 2k was the way to go but then again im not that clued up so apart from 2k being a harder paint wats the difference between them and say cellulose ? Also will i need the cellulose for 2k ?? And would it be sensible to get the anti bloom thinners ?? The cars dragon green so im hoping its not going to be to hard to get a match on parts that might not need doing The front bumper is by far the worst bit on the car and was thinking of having a practise run on that first before attempting any more of the car wich i think is a sensible idea also i do already have a devilbiss gun but how much was you thinking ox ? Like i say money is tight so what i have will probably do but theres no harm in asking lol

Im after some good info , links and you tube vids before i go ahead with my own , Before anyone says get it done profesionally i do have a compressor with an inline water trap and i plan to make a makeshift booth with heaters and hopefully some extraction What i could do with is some info on steps through sanding and preping and what grades to start on and finish on before priming , how to get the car nice and flat before colour , what paint types to go for , cellulose,water based , 2k And also info on laquering and finally machine polishing .anything paint related really so i can pik up as much as possible . I have sprayed before and with good outcome But id like to get this as good as i possibly can so if any home sprayers have a bit of time id like to learn. As said at the start money is tight saving for a house so proffesional help is a no go , the cars front end is stone chipped to hell and some collosal prick has keyed one side , also although the car looks good there are imperfections on most panels so i cant really loose inles i do a shocking job I dont want it perfect but i think i can get it looking better than it is at the moment do any info or links would be great especially vidios and how to's Cheers in advance

Bump anyone

Does anybody know if you can get a new fob casing ? After rushing about last night in the house i managed to break the little plastic loop that goes on your keys , after babbing my pants and searching for an hour i found it in the shoe cubord !! But now its just loose in the car and im keeping it in the front ash tray but i know ill lise it if i keep it there and i only have one fob and key

Haha major beef with brakes !! My vr has standard disks and pads at standard vr size , iv also been in jaimiehameys vr with the 312 upgrade and i think he a braided hoses aswell , how it works exactly i dont know im not that technical but his car stops alot lot faster than mine lol i thought my face was gonna fall off in to my lap !! Bigger brakes make for better stopping , otherwise they wouldnt make bigger brakes would they

Yellow one = seat leon Blue one = prius with alloys White one = honda civic with a nose There all concepts and are all completely different to a corrado , and all them concepts are made on photo shop with nice curvy lines , i could draw my corrado on an etcha sketch its that square ffs ! Any way unless your a god damn genius with fabrication and a bucket of filler ( not saying your not ) then id leave it alone before you end up on one of those " o no look what some one did to a corrado " thread when its for sale on ebay as an unfinished show car

Can you not sell on some of the more higher priced parts to pay for the repairs or cant you do the welding yourself and have a go at paint ??

Every monday morning lol , i work away all week so car just gets parked up till a friday night but after driving the vw crafter van all week it feels so good to jump back in the old beast haha

Nice and easy job just go very carefull i used a small dremel and sanding bit and carefully took out the amount i needed , it was 1mm from 56.1 subaru to vw 57.1 go easy working in a circle and not in one spot and you will find you wont even need spigots they fit that nice Iv got a set to do at weekend !! I think it took me about an hour or so a wheel Also used one of those flappy sanding bits you put in a drill to smooth the surface after the dremmel

Nice always wanted to do my bike test but never got round to it , 400s are nippy little bikes my mate had a vfr 400 and another had the rvf 400 Congrats on passing if i ever do mine it will be for a supermoto
