Is there any difference between brushable seam sealer vs PU cartridge or is just application use? read somewhere that the pot life is short once opened for the brushable-Is this true?

I know this may sound bizzare, I am trying to do some bodywork repairs, and am starting to upset the neighbours with the noise eminatting from the garage.

Is there a quiter way to cut metal out, currently using grinder and body saw.

Thanks

to accurately cut repair sections

Easier said than done!
Anyone got any good techniques to share?

I think alot of people use a dremel to make cuts

I have been looking at various patch panel welding such as floor pans, inner wing and boot area on you tube. I see that professionally body shops are just lap welding panels in (after cutting out the rust), doesn't this a exposed edge on one side ? I suppose it does the job. I thought that butt weld...

I have done a search, but its a mine field of answers, I understand that you use etch primer on bare metal, would you use etch primer on repair panels that that have the black coating/or other painted surfaces, on them or just use normal primer. If you a repair section with bare metal that is not ac...

looking for a inspection lamp but not what to go for so many differnet types out there, like to get one that is tried and tested. I was looking at these, but not sure: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DRAPER-87066-FLOURESCENT-INSPECTION-LAMP-LIGHT-230V-/180428838501?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a0265966...

I'm sure I've seen car rollers with wheels on so the car can be moved while on it's side. It depends what kind of work you need to do but if it involves grinding or welding it will be a lot nicer and safer with the car on it's side. In fact you will probably get more done, faster, because it's so u...

If the work doesn't involve taking the wheels off then trusty wheel ramps would always be my favourite for doing any decent work under the car. Do you mean somthing like this. LOL http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/car-wheel-ramps-building-blocks-/280670226087?pt=UK_Lifting_Moving_Equipment&hash=item41593fc...

Whats the best way to store parts in a single cold damp drafty garage

Going to remove bumper, headlights etc for some repair work.

Thought about wrapping up in sheets, but will be a condensation trap?

Hi, is there a Procedure for restoration,or does anything go !!

I have been offered a project car, apart from the rust/bodywork that needs doing, clutch is gone, no brakes, engine smokes and interior is shot. is there a rule of thumb people work to.

cheers

For what its costs, Im going to replace coil and fuel pipe to carb lose the filter.

how easy is it to clean fuel pump filter. I dont want open anther can of worms there!

I dont know want to try 1st, how do i test the coil, should I remove the filter?

strange thing about the inline filter, should it completely full with fuel with no air gaps, it seems like it only 3parts full when the engine is running.

are these symptoms of fuel starvation, do you think it could be the float chamber needle valve sticking as the carb was the last job done?

Any Ideas, Moggy starts runs fine after about 5miles , its seems to run on 3 cyinders loses power the stalls, when its starts doing this then its consistent every 100m or so. Every ignition part is new, plugs points distributor. Last job done on the car carb overhaul kit and inline filter, the carb ...

Found it Thanks BMC!! Although it wasn't the earth point you sent me in the right direction. The 4 wires that leave the light cluster and go across the boot area, something heavy must have fallen on the loom because under the cloth braiding all 4 cables had nicks in them with the black cut right thr...

OK, my findings are: Indicate right all works oK.

Indicate left, the relay click once then goes out, but the indicators flash rapidly, but go out when brake is pressed. how do they flash when the relay box isn't clicking?
