  1. Good effort Rich but My mummy used to tell me ....."If your too ill to go to school then your too ill to play" You take it easy mate and keep that bell close to hand... hope theres no one else from School watchin you PS are you going to be offering this service to people without any patience or are you just bragging that you can do it ? was proper ill till wednesday, when temp went up to 38 rang the swine flu helpline, told me not to go back in to contact with people till next week, only started this yesterday with several jumpers on and a heater in the garage. and a dustmask. throat was till sore, and i'm cough loads, and i have no voice, or very little. very hard to teach with no voice. as for doing it for others, for now its more bragging rights, i'm not confident enough to do it for others, and as carbon forza will be offering this soon and are professional it can't see the point in competeing, as it is only a cheaper option if you do it yourself. gets more expensive as soon as you pay someone else. the kit is £46, then add labour, i'd say wait for carbon forza, or buy the kit and have ago yourself
  2. are you offering advice on how to get sponsors?
  3. nissan GB are a bunch of "see you next tuesdays" how they keep customers for more than 1 cars ownership does elude me!
  4. bit of the wright stuff, but thats about it. was going to wait till i had finished, but was bored, so i posted up early

  7. i suppose you could start a tool section for sarnie and put me and husky in it as well
  8. cheers tim, look forward to trying them out
  9. its been a nightmare job to do, while coughing and spluttering everywhere. also its swine flu, i'm not allowed in public contact for 7 days and i've felt like crap the whole time
  10. Well i've been i'll all week, and felt the symptoms last week so i thought i'd order something for me to do while i was ill, must admit, felt pretty rough so didn't start till late, and it wasn't too bad as it was only about 15 minutes work each day. little and often as they say. so this arrived in the post form carbonmods i decided to redo my b pillars and strut brace, i had previously done them in vinyl and the strut brace had done ok, but the B pillars had bubbled terribly. i didn't like the carbon covers for either as fitment always looked off, so i thought i'd skin them instead. i also want to make some adjustments to the rear strut as i wanted to remove the square dots and the zed hole. i used a car plstic bumper filler, isoproben or something, very easy to work with and then used my little orbital to sand it all down then i prepped the B pillars first step was to apply the black resin undercoat to hid original colour through the CF, and also to leave a tacky surface to adhere the CF to later next step was to wait 4 hours and then lay the CF over, this i found to be the hardest thing, the original overlay is easy, but then the folding round etc on corners and trying to tape it down underneath was an ar$e of a job, not only that, the black resin although tacky if you pt it face down would start to work through the CF. also everything is tacky, and sticky and you can't catch the weave otherwise it throws the aesthetics off. well this is how it looked after next stage was to apply the top coat and then leave to dry, i must admit again this wasn't so easy as some tape came undone once it was wet, and trying to hold something on a single nubbin underneath and paint it while everything is tacky is a little tricky. any way next day, came down to check and all had hardened off. it only had one coat so far, and it used this opportunity to trim off all the excess, as it was easier to handle once the CF had set with the resin. took me about an hour with a stanley blade to tidy it all up. i cut it right back and this is what i got left with i originally just CF over all the holes as it was easier, and then cut them out today. a little untidy, but then its all hidden underneath anyway. i have also tested fitted all the parts and they fit perfectly, thought i would do that before wasting any more time prepping a piece of material that wouldn't fit one thing i did notice was that some of the resin had soaked under the weave and all parts needed another coat. which i've put on today, i'll leave it for 24 hours and then start the flattening and polishing process. i'll add more pics when its polished and finished, so hopefully saturday or sunday evening.
  11. mick go speak to Team AFM at martlesham, they'll weld a new one and fit it for you at the same time, they do tig welding, and they are one of the few places in the area that do, prices aren't bad, and they always do a top job. better to get it swapped out at the time of fitting as they can do it better, if they try and do it to a loose pipe i.e. not on the car, can't guarantee getting it straight.
  12. seen before but still funny, the vicar one always makes me laugh
  13. good to see you back, looking forward to seeing what you come up with
  14. what channel and time to see you on tv? car look s cracking, can't wait to see it all stickered up
  15. i thought it was cos he is now an honorary member, he spends so much toime on here even though he doesn't mod anymore i'm glad to see he's still here
  16. hunting tree huggers should become a national sport, let them run around in the forest/fields, and we can go around with a paintball gun in the back of a pick up, "yank stylee" taking pot shots at them. i don't condone killing hence the use of paintball guns, but there would be nothing in the rule book about freezing your paintballs before hand and turnig up the gas pressure
  17. Mmm just being slight argumentative Why bother having joke and off topic sections on the forum then ??? personally i wouldn't miss the joke section, but the topic discussions are great
  18. mods are doing fine as for the video, i did chuckle, but in my opinion it was more "in your face" so to speak than the other video, this one didn't really leave anyhting to the imagination lyric wise. hence possibly why the other wasn't pulled until comparisons were made.
  19. looks like an african paper, blunt and to the point i suppose. shame ours can't even print proper news,
  20. the detail was good, but i want his garage my single one just isn't big enough, and i would so love a pit or some lifts for car work
  21. if you contact rob, he might switch the backgrounds round for you and do it in gloss black, just ring him and ask, easier than email as it take shim a while to twal through the 100's he gets each day
