Thanks guys.... got myself a gas - 90amp today.... Seems okay... I'll just have to get better at welding now 'coz I can't blame the old kn4ckered welder anymore !!!!!

Is there any perticular reason to go for a machin larger then 80 / 90amp ?

Hi all,

Has anyone tried these ? Are they okay to use ? I have the chance of a clarke 80amp one for about £120... or a 100amp opne for another £20 and my old one has died a death..... Over to the experts !!

Thanks,

Jim

Why not just stick a standard 1098 & box (and prop) in... quick and relativley easy. There's usually a few about !

Well.... I have a long list of all the cars I could get in it.... but could'nt open the doors to get out on once I was there

A 35' long garage...... I wish I had one :( Kevin... its quite a useless thing really.... full to the brim with essential kit & stuff 'that will come in handy' :lol: In short a 35' long, 7' wide pile of STUFF !! I couldn't get a car near it, let alone in it :o Suppose I'd better have a shuffle ...

RAY.... I've PM'd you....

Will do mate.... I chose this coz' I had other uses for it too ! Painting an entire 3 bed extended house (outside) ..... A 35' long garage......About 35 6' fence panels.... a shed (wooden) and a shed (trafalgar blue) !!!!!! Apparently I can spray my hall, landing & stairs as well - which is nice...

Hi all, Not sure how this compares but I just found a whole Bosal replacement exhaust for a minor for £20 inc vat..... This seems like a good price to me from http://www.bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk/bosal/default.htm It does show what markup the guys like Formula1 are charging..... they quoted me almost ...

Forgive me for sounding like a complete moron :oops: ...... its been about 12 years since I prepped and sprayed a car 'properly' :-? so some refresher questions: Preparation What grades of wet & dry are appropriate for prepping the surface of fibreglass prior to priming ? And for flatting down t...

Well gents... I got it £69 from Argos !! :o I have given it a little audition with some fence paint (really thick orrible splodgy redish stuff) thinking it would struggle. No probs at all..... setup is minimal, gun is excellent, no spitting, spluttering or any of the funny tricks I used to end up ge...

Yo Steve,

Sorted, sort of !! I am running the guage straight off an ignition live insted of the stabilizer. Seems okay now.. checked that it read properly with all electrics on... then off..... then revving it... then almost stall idling it and it doesn't seem to be bothered - so neither am i !! ;)

Well I did some sums....... Cheap compressor & really horrible gun from screwfix is about £100. its ungainly, can't be carried around very easily, makes loads of noise (as its small and is nearly always running when painting) and is very limited on what can be sprayed without buying more guns / ...

Apparently its Victoriana blue...... popular in Victorian bathrooms & kitchens...... She saw some tiles in Focus DIY and that was it !

Has anyone ever tried these newfangled hvlp electric sprayers ? I dont mean the ones you connect to a hoover - been there done that (and it worked !) I mean the proper made for the job electric spray guns, 1000w motors etc... they're around £60 - £120 As both my compressor & my trusty gun are up...

There was a brush on celly paint (i think) called re-paint..... popular with coach builders & signwriters. Still around I think

Would anyone here know if the head would be any good on my Ital 1300 engine ?
It needs reboring and new seals all round.... so the head / valves might as well get the treatment too ... a 1990 head sounds a much better start point than a 1978 one !

Hi Ben,

Does this guy have a garage (as in a business )?? I was just wondering who / where he was, coz he sounds just like the guy who did some work on SHY for us !

Hi all,

No, the handbrake doesn't hold on......

I did wonder about the rubbers around the bumper irons......as it seems to let in soooooo much !
