byrons new toy

[byron101]

thanks mate, it needs to be the old type with like squareish shape on the end of the arms as the newer rover ones won't work. hope that makes sense

[byron101]

thanks mate, will do + send pic of the ones we need

[jjitaljob]

have you been told you have to have it s.v.a'd? (major dvla check over) if not then you should be ok with making sure its done alright and forget about telling them. unless it has to be. im sure you can swing round that obstacle somehow

[boycie101]

yeah did know mate
finally decided to start rubbing all the yellow paint down as was not happy with the paint due to it being an industrial type paint ( rustolium ) + damaged easily. wont be mot-ing him this yr though + will do it early next yr as long as son stops hasseling me to work on his car all the time

damaged easily?

i've hit mine with a center punch and few other things and its not marked it

i been attacking my bonnet with 60 grit paper to get it off and thats hardly touching it

might be because it was sprayed where as mine was rollered?

[boycie101]

god knows but nothing but chips init mate, spoke to a car paint supplier + apparently never goes 100% hard. think i'll stick with the proper stuff as had to sand sons car down + the kernal cos of damage easily caused to it. maybe better if it rollererd on as you say

[jjitaljob]

let me guess its commercial poly based paint...

[boycie101]

pass on that 1 mate, apparently it used for spraying jcb's etc i believe as protects against rust etc

[jjitaljob]

yup thats the stuff

[boycie101]

dug the kernal back out of it's hiding place in garage today + thought better continue rubbing it down again to shut phil up, no longer looking bright + yellow + more like patchwork quilt at the moment. hopefully get it sprayed up over next couple of weeks + all his toys put back in place ( well maybe )

Bring it down here mate, I've masterd a great ripple effect paint effect

[boycie101]

i own the patent on that effect mate

[thereddwarf]

just for byron....its still an interesting shade of multicolour...!!!!

[ljonez]

just lacquer it now, its different lol

[boycie101]

thats wa i was thinking lj, like the camo look

[Phil J]

Thats a better paint job than mine ;D

Good to see it out in the open and not used as storage

[boycie101]

lol
hopefully get it sprayed up...... AGAIN ........over next 2wks

[boycie101]

80% of prep work done + primed but not touched it for months + lost interest in the kernal + mini's lately. not sure i can be botherd to finish it anymore or just sell it as it is

[coedy]

I know i say this every time... but...
Please dont get rid of the kernal =[ if I had the money id have him =[
Why would it need a dvla inspection btw? Isn't it a real cabrio? Looked it from the early pics?

[ljonez]

personally if i where in the position of wanting to get rid then i'd finish off the prep, leave it in primer and MOT it then advertise it in a way that will make people want it as they could just put a top coat of their choice on it and they would have the cabrio they want
