I'm glad I'm not the only one with Photobucket issues. I used to be a yahoo member 10 years ago, but I deleted my account and the email for it is no longer valid. Plus it won't work if I try to log back into Yahoo. I'm a tad reluctant to Yahoo! now after the fraud thing.Nuts4my827 wrote:Looking good.
Few things:
Did you fully treat the inside of the arch corner? thats where they rust from. Condensation...
Is the car on jacks/stands in that picture, looks kinda high. Also what size tyres did you fit?
Photobucket: yes!!!!, I have noticed it completely go to pot recently. LOADS of crappy ads all over it.
Try Flickr (needs a Yahoo email address to register)
Yeah I put the car on the jack/stand high up just to make it easier to work on. I have a fluorescent light just above as well which is good.
I used 3 coats of zinc primer, then rubbed down and used 2 coats of standard white Halfords primer. (As well as on the inside corner arch)
Rubbed down again and used 3 'lightish' coats Rover Stone Grey; (near enough match for jazz). Slight rub down with 2000 wet n dry paper. Lastly 5 light coats Halfords bodyshop Lacquer. Again slight rub down with wet and dry paper (used water).
Then a good ole polish with Ferecla G3. Took a while since I didn't use my machine polish wheel.
If I was being picky I would redo the bottom quarter (but I won't now )
The tyres are 205/40 R17 84W. I gather 17inch wheels used an alternate tyre profile on the sport models or something?
