Stuck the brakes back together, I love Hope, it's like grown up Lego :P

I will put the regular Lobo decals on, like this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/15 ... o1000.jpg/ I just wanted to play with these 2k paints really, I did set of alloys once and it was huge work and I swore never again. Well this time, really never! Its a stupid amount of work, you...

So.....I took a kebab break last night and didn't put the clear on until early this morning :P I hate applying clear, the last step after all that work and you nearly always end up with a run because something inside just eggs you on to apply more, just a little more, go on! You should apply...

Took the whole tin of white to make it white, as usual base colour aerosol is thin and the invetiable 'spit' moment happend a few times :) Then this is after one coat of the pearl, which splattered even worse and I'm going to have to flat off a little in one or two places but the tint is...

Hangover weekend out of the way and onward! Everything fully hard and the finish is pretty good. You can probably get away with base coating right over it but for a good finish you need to sand every inch of the primer. I've used a nail block wrapped in 800 grit wet and dry, there is a...

I don't think you are realistic, taking the second one as example the indy dealer price is 4k on Parkers. The mileage will stick 500-750 on, plus some for the options, it looks high spec to me but I do not know the car at all. At the very least 'book' on that car is 5k. Rock up with 6k in cash...

Without knowing the car it looks a little unfair, it is below average mileage by a lot and appears to be fully loaded which has to add money. I've had access to the more pro Glasses guide for a long time and it is always the same story, cars over their values. Just seems to be how it works...

I have a Z4 3.0 but I wouldn't really recommend it, it is very unlike any BMW I've owned before and I've had a lot. Its built in America who appear to have low standards. Its stiff, hard and rattles like mad. Crap electric powering steering and I've replaced a ton of stuff. Car has just hit...

I'm going to regret it either way lol :D I'm going to put them ontop... They are very thick, too thick imo to cover well with clear and I really don't like the step you get. I've got enough decal issues without trying to get them re-re-produced on a thinner substrate. Additionally I've never...

I used the Isopon P38 stuff, sands nicely but the more skilled you are in application the easier to finish. I think I used about 3 layers in places because I kept oversanding! Excuse the white balance but this is now the a grey filler primer! Much thicker than the epoxy and will cover any...

Posts will be picture heavy but we all love pictures, I don't intend it to be a how-to but I always like reading others threads when they go a little more indepth. Like an idiot I forgot to take good pictures of the frame all fillered up and smoothed down, there are some earlier on in the...

So I sent some stuff away and today it came back... Ha! :P Sea of red! This is work done by Steve from Acorn Plating. I think you have to be realistic, if I'm honest I'd hoped for better but to be fair some of the parts were 10-15 years old. The last...

Good PR video but massive lack of content. Something like this is reactionary, it requires input to fire. In many accidents the impact that triggers it would be the same impact that would kill you; it'll be too late. Until it can see into the future it won't be a replacement however I can see...

Or put a small bolt with washer in the hole and smash that if you are having too much 'give' with softer tools.

Cool thanks, one of mine has some serious wear on the lower shock linkage plate, pretty bad like 2-3mm missing in places! The other one came with a rear wheel that wouldn't even turn in the frame! 2.5 High Roller.. Almost looks like a height issue, width is tight but as the linkage...

Cool :D Same issue re levers, bloody awful. I'm thinking use the pro ones? Only slightly less fugly but an improvement. What rear tyre you have in there and is it rubbing under compression?

I would say knowing how Paypal disputes go, the responsibility will end up with you. Either pack it real good or don't do it!

At these prices, £200-£500, realistically people can often afford either figure. What you describe regarding market forces is true and correct but may only apply to higher value items, classic cars and the like where sense reigns in impulse. If I thought I was going to lose it or someone else...

High(er) profile than previous, more buyers and despite the economy, you always get one with a stack of cash that they don't mind spending. It just takes one £200 bike to go for £500 and then everyone else uses that as a template/expectation for their sale. People can be willing to wait for a...
