we'll see.

he accuses me of bodging a car.. sorry forgot filling in dents was a bodge..


and go ahead someone, bring up that weld, ive already said i'd given it a go, failed and that it will be done properly with either a mig or someone who has a mig to do it instead

[Michael!]

its exactly what you do to other people, stop acting like an arsehole and put your toys back in your pram.

I was going to comment about the plating up of the hole, and also the red oxide over rust which will probably get painted over but I couldn't be arsed lol.

Why don't you just get a new wing? It would have probably been the easiest thing to do from the start.

[jonyb4]

yep well cba works for me...


because new patterns are over £130, used wings cut off a car aint gonna be the best, and the effort of blending the front panel into the wing, skinny bumpers will show up bad joining lines
also the cost of painting it, im looking at £230 before its even fitted...

like many, ill stick to the plate and filler


now i dont care if thats a good enough explanation for you, its not your car, its not actually mine either, so like it or shut up

[jayrs]

theres always going to be difference in opinion when it comes to projects and how there done, but its going a bit off that now and becoming personal, lets not scoop to that again guys.

i personally, have said to jony how i would of done the wing, but thats not to say someone else would of done it that way also, so i personally say, good on ya for giving it a go jony, no matter how you do it, but a little advice could save you problems/hassle later.
as the plate in the wing has been bought up, i would advise redoing it as i see big potental for problems there later, if you feel how you do it is going to be ok, then go with it mate.
everything is a learning curve at the end of the day, its just trying to avoid finding out the hard way that is important

[jonyb4]

bought white primer and diamond white today, so begun to paint the arch and wing, will set over night and the final few layers will go on tomorrow

[jonyb4]

[RS EDDIE]

You wanna try your hand wet sanding when the wing is dry.
Then buff it up with a machine polisher. Will come up a thousand times better than you think, whatever finish you end up with just painting and laquering!!!

[jonyb4]

cheers buddy will do, orange peel isnt attractive

on another note, check your PM

[jonyb4]

Had a great day out at the NEC in Birmingham sunday, sought out the tech guys at the burton power stand, asked for advice on what i need etc for the twin DHLA's we have


today me and the old man ordered what we need to get the Dellorto's fitted to the capri, the following week we will be buying a Sytec twin cable linkage kit for twin dellorto's, so watch this space


meanwhile heres a pic of me with the wheeler dealers







also had a charity ride in this Lancia, was very fun, handled awesome and sounded even better, i do have videos but the best is over 800mb

[~nomad~]

I bet those 2 off wheeler dealers are your absolute heroes!

[jonyb4]

they are indeed!

[jonyb4]

wing and scuttle have been welded, just had a skimming of fiberfiller and we picked up 1l of cellulose diamond white for the new spray gun we bought at the NEC

we also bought this shiz




the bottom of the doors and wing were masked up and primered, highlighting obvious areas that need a light skim of filler due to the grinding to remove surface rust, which will be happening today




any one got advice on using a gravity fed sprayer?
can see this needing a few attempts to get right

[Michael!]

thats the machine polisher i have - does a good job.


also

dat lancia

[jonyb4]

£45 for it + 3 grades of the foam pads

[Ratspeed]

Paint work should come up nice with a buff up jonyboy. On another note, Mike Brewer is a bell end

[jayrs]

get anit bloom thinners if you using cellulose, never used it my self, but people have always told me to if painting when cold, and tbh, i dont really use celloulose.

as for the spray gun, set it up against a bit of paper before going for it on the car, and use it like a normal suction gun, your get the hang on it easy enough

[RS EDDIE]

As Jay said....What i did is go to a DIY shop and get some cheap wallpaper lining paper.
Tape it to a wall horizontally as long lengthways as you can, and practice on that....

This gives an ideal test area to get the flows and spray fans just how you want them.

[~nomad~]

I edited your reply to me, as it could end up landing you in trouble. Not everything is an insult you know.

Mike is a 'conquering device', ed is cool tho

Amen.

[Rhinopower]

eds under mikes tyrant thumb

No, ed has been inventing crazy contraptions for tv and film for 20ish years, he is a successful businessman/mechanic in his own right, and I can imagine that he does wheeler dealers more for fun than the money (but still does alright out of it)

He did the Top Gear bond car and at least one of the amphibious cars too


Sent from my Casio FX-83GTPLUS

[jayrs]

i forgot to say jony, wipe the gun down with thinners, and run some thinners through it to clean it out of anything that might be in there, like shipping grease/oil, polish if the guns been buffed etc

[jonyb4]

cheers mate, helpful!


lol nice to learn that nick & ryan

[~nomad~]

Yeah Ed China is cool, and is actually skilled. His hair appears to have been permantly dyed by filler as well He kinda reminds me of a taller older Brian

[jonyb4]

quick pic of the twin 40's fitted, not running yet though, coughs and sputters but not fired, jets are likely way out




meanwhile these ruined weedy things



are being swapped for these








this is yet to get fitted, its an adjustable thermostat for switching on the radiator fan, not sure on how to fit the prong without having a leak




heres a few pics of the polyfiller thats been applied, this is the base, obviously another skim over the top to be smooth and flush

[jonyb4]

cleaned up the B16's





plan to replace these as theyre a bit bent


paints sat a while, got a peculiar skin going on








planning on painting this up too, but black

[jonyb4]

shes going to be 2 inches lower soon, won springs and blocks on ebay, at a bit more than i wanted to pay though ah well

[EUFez]

I wish we had banter like this at meets/shows

I agree with getting a new wing. Regardless of what your Dad wants. Surely you could purchase one anyway, then prompting him to fit it!

[jonyb4]

really? do i have to explain this again lol, read!

pattern wings are £125, another £100 to paint it up professional... just not something i can afford

[jonyb4]

one of the 2.8 brakes is done, will need to move the car around for the passengers side to be done

had to take the backing plate off, couldnt be bothered cutting it up to avoid it catching the discs



lovely

[AW0L]

Jony i hate you!!!! i have always wanted a capri and when i find one its always rotten beyond help (only use is a oily motorised cheese grater) , work done so far is great keep it up

[jonyb4]

cheers buddy
