and yer welding is pants

really now? not trying to start aggro, but if my welding was pants,do you reallly think i would of attempted this? and do you really think i would have been trusted to build shelf angles to support buildings? not really, and if your talking about the fact that not every single weld is a perfect shape with perfect overlap,then your being fussy, i gaurantee you that not one of my welds breaks, and all of the welds on the sheet steel inside the car? well they are all double fillet welds for strength, and the steel sheet used was a **** sight thicker than the steel of the car. so if your going to pick on a newbie ,by all means put down my car,but dont start slating my welding when you have NO idea what my welding is like in person. rant over.

[dollydisco]

im lost now ill stay out of this one! comments on my colour scheme ideas wouldnt go amiss

 

[lr110]

what colour you going 4

 

[dollydisco]

matt black body, with the roof ,wheels,mirrors,chequer plate on the door bottoms and the ` land rover` and the ` discovery` stickers going ford focus rs lime green
ive done black and orange ,ive done black and white, time for a change

 

[lr110]

dont like matt black, reminds me of banger racing!

 

[lr110]

and less checker plate it too em......................................................pikey!

 

[dollydisco]

i was going to do gloss,but then i remember gloss it hard to paint, lots of prep and stuff to get a good a finish. whereas mattblack is easy to colour match, easy to paint,and needs very little prep!! and its only a 94 landy so i dont want to make it to bling and shiny because its only going to get wrecked! ,regards to chequer plate. thats a very good point !! think ill leave that out

 

[lr110]

take ya point on the matt black, what about nato green or sand?

 

[dollydisco]

I did think about nato green with gloss black, but nato green has never really took my interest if you know what I mean? It also helps that I have a few litres of matt black kicking around!! Doing this on limited budget so every little helps. What you thinking to lime green modulars?

good thread mate your a brave brave man wish i could attempt something like this... but as mine doubles up as the family car i dont think the missus would appreciate it..... ahha
