pics of cranks please

when i say old i mean old to me, fiesta was on an 01 reg and golf was an 02 reg but cars from early 80's and before have side reps

just don't bother with indicators in mirrors, i smoothed the wings on my old fiesta and golf and both went through mot 2 times each and have both gone straight through mot since in the hands of their owners at the monent

a macpherson strut

lol

pics of rear bumper?

bout an hour or so from me

he also said he had another bike that he was willing to break

was it needed? really? all my questions were relevant and i would of bought if the parts were right

a touch of washing up liquid helps aswell

wet sanding is just that, use water whilst sanding with wet and dry paper

whereabouts are you? if not far from me i can do it

filler will sink/crack, get them done properly with plastic welding

a quick coat of plasticizor and normal primer over the top is alot better than plastic primer

if they are textured they need sanding down to remove the texture, if they are smooth you can sand them with 320 grit and then around 600-800 grit, clean them off and prime them, 3 thin coats of primer leaving around 15-20 mins between each coat, leave to dry for a good few hours, wet sand with 800-1000 grit wet and dry, be careful not to rub through the primer, if you do you will need to reprime them, clean them off and dry them, 3-4 thin coats to paint, again 15-20 mins between coats, about 20-25 mins after the last coat of paint you can lacquer, 3-4 thin coats again leaving 15-20 mins between coats sanding between coats is just a waste of time, it pretty much has no effect on the final outcome, when i was doing my qualifications in college, as part of our coursework we had to do like an experiement, 4 panels were painted, 2 with rattle cans, 2 with spray gun. then one of each was sanded between coats of primer and paint and the other 2 not, and there was no great difference in the final product so its just a waste of time and effort the only need to sand between coats is if you've got runs in your basecoat/colour coats, if this happens, let the paint dry for a few hours, wet sand with 1000 and then redo a few coats of colour

just get some coilovers, then you can lower it 40mm, and a 100mm yourself and she what you like better, coilovers would also give you the option of having it at 60mm or 70mm or 53mm if you really wanted to

surely i should be asking where you are

i'd be interested in just the bumper

rear bumper?
