Moley's R

Im very intrigued with with the subtle plans .... are you going like a pearl laquer or something ????

Your trying to make me talk Leighton    Pearl laquer? Might have to look that one up.

Ive had a few ideas that ive never seen done on a pulsar before and isn't really common among most modified cars but don't wanna spill the beans in case I never achieve it.

Its mother of pearl laquer if your looking it up ..... yep its because im a nosey git pete plus i could nick the idea and do it first then just say you copied me   

Oh in that case then im having pink fairy dust put into the laquer    

To late pete ive already ordered the fairy dust for mine   

Booger!  

pearl lacquer is used alot on white cars it looks really nice im intrigued to see what your thinking of doing, sounds good hope it turns out as you want it to

Yeah for once I'd like to commit to something and see it through

I bought my paint today ..

where did you get your paint from leigton and how much,did you pay?

I actually got it from a company trading on ebay ....il pm you rather than filling petes thread up ..

Think I might have had some good luck today; had to go and get 70 bales of hay for my mums horse from a local farmer(who I completely forgot about) and he reckons he's got a unit available shortly. I didn't get a chance to look at it today as im going halves with a work colleague but this could finally set the ball rolling on getting the car the attention it needs. Watch this space...

good luck mate (About bloody time lol)

Sounds promising pete ....   

I hope so, just waiting for my mate to come back off holiday so we can both check it out, but from the description sounds big enough to get 3 cars in and it has electrics in it. The only thing the farmer is worried about is us setting fire to it with a grinder or something as he lost a building last year to fire.

Ive never set anything alight with a grinder .... only a welder   

You must be able to get some insurance for that. Public liability for me plumbing is only £250 and covers me for 2million worth of damage.

Just done my jet ski insurance and that's £126 for 3million liability!

My dad set fire to our house years ago. He was soldering in the loft and set fire to the lagging which was everywhere, we had a lot of shit in the loft that caught fire and it escalated from there.

It took 6 fire engines and 2 tankers of water to put out. The boiler blew up and nearly made a fireman come off his ladder and we had to move to a rented house for 9 months while it was being sorted.

Don't need insurance as the farmer has his own which covers it as his insurance company is aware he leases out the units for this kind of use.

Any welding work and i'll transport the shell to a friend of mine to have it done.

Well had a look at the lockup last weekend and it seems pretty good but the guy has got a few little jobs to improve it; roof repairs and add more electrical sockets. Its got space for 3 cars and I can get my van in on those cold winter days. The 2 downsides are the available date wont be till beginning of next year due to delays with one of his new buildings and its not insulated. Gonna keep searching and will check it out again closer to the time if needed.

Insulation isnt to much of a issue if you can get a heater in there while your working away as ideal spray temp is 21 c to 22 c .... shame it isnt availble to early part of the year though mate ...

Im not spraying it in there Leighton, just stripping it and maybe prep work then i'll trailer it to a bodyshop. Yeah it is a shame as ive got the enthusiasm to do it now

Well the list on the rebuild is slowly getting longer. Suspect the crank seal is weeping slightly as its damp around the crank pulley. Really looking forward to getting on with it in the new year once the space is available.

You got a place now then pete ???

Still relying on the farmers barn to be ready early next year, fingers crossed.

Yes I finally have a place to start stripping the old girl. I think ill start a separate thread for my rebuild.
