All the gear and no idea

As my neighbour once commented
The arch is looking a bit better now its just a case of getting all the rust out and then making good

Aren't you affraid that the inside of the arch also is covered in rust and after a period of time will rust through again?

I knew at some point some one would point that out !
The inner arch has been ground out aswell, Ive removed all the rust from the arches both inside and out the wire brush was good at getting most of the flaky rust out but to get it right backto bare metal i used the steel grinder and treated them with 3 coats of rust cure

That doesn't look too shabby.

I think gold stripes on the bumpers would be a nice touch.

i did think about a gold strip but got warned against it by the other half she reckons it would look too much

Don't forget I've got that Door pocket ready for you when we next have a local meeting.

Looks like your working hard there .Did you spray outside ?

Is everything golden in your garden ?

A problem that picking a matching colour for the strips ,I wouldn`t have

a clue. Can`t wait to see what you do.

Glad to see wires being tidy.

Cool, now radar based speed cameras won't be able to see you!

yep sprayed it half in half out the garage on the drive the weather was good to me and the wind stayed down so not everything has a gold twist to it just the inside of the garage door

the boots looking much better now cheers mate

when it was just flat black i sat at a set of lights for 5 mins for the lights to change apparently the satin in the paint wouldn't reflect the radar beam and couldnt register it as a car sat there

i would have thought the windscreen would have been big enough to reflect it though

on a plus note i can now cruise behind enemy lines with out being tracked on there radar
