Very jealous of your setup, oh the fun I could have with a sandblaster.

 

They make a mess!!! Sand Blaster = Cheap

 

Compressor to run it = $$$$$ :scare:

 

 

 

 

The wheels look awesome. You must be the favourite parent by now lol

 

Only done one so far :wacko: Not sure about fav parent - Mrs Keyser gives em pocket minet :lol:

 

 

Can you be my dad?

 

 

But I am your father Luke -

 

May the force be with you!

 

 

 

I knew I was adopted but I'd never have guessed you were my dad!

 

I'd prefer Bob to be my dad :stir:

 

:lol:

 

After I sent you the mag and everything!!! Fine be like that :p

 

:lol:

Ha Ha RT, Jag ownership and the battle against rust seem to go hand in hand.

 

Very interested in this Keyser. Every part I strip off the Jag is going to need refurbing. Starting to realise what a big project I've taken on. Found a company that will chemically strip and coat the body shell, but it's all the small bits that need blasting and etch priming straight away. what CFM is your compressor? Keep up the good work :thumbs:

Hi mate missed the question :blush:

 

Spec on myine is -

  • 14cfm displacment - cast iron, twin cylinder compressor pump
  • 200 litre air receiver (CE certified)
  • 3hp motor, 230v, 1ph continuously rated with overload protection
  • 10bar (150psi) maximum working pressure controlled by a fully automatic pressure switch.
  • Specification also includes safety valve, pressure gauge, air outlet valve & drain tap.
  • Application - professional automotive/industrial

It was the biggest I could get without needing 3 phase power - its on it's own 30AMP supply - only just up to the sand blaster but great for spraying and all the other stuff :thumbs:

600mm Breaker bar

It just laughed at me as I hung from it!

So I went to get my destroyer the 1m breaker bar - but I lent it to my mate :doh:

I swear I heard the nut laugh again - so to copy Mr Marcel Wallace I called some hard hitting home boys to get medieval on its arse with a blow torch :lol:

Also got the wheel back from repair - it is one of the 12" set I got cheap after blasting I noticed a small dent in one, minor and not actually causing a problem but a mate was taking his Supra wheel in for repair so we thought we could get a deal on two being done and we did :thumbs:
