Rear bumper now fitted..easy enough job but re aligning everything on your own is a fiddle...anyway,the end result

Yep looking good daz you have got to tint the lights at the back now bud

mmmm Discodaz right letters just the wrong way round

#31 by Discodaz , Sun Apr 07, 2013 4:28 pm

Dunno about tints but may add chrome lamp guards...

Annoyed now actually as i spent all day polishing yesterday and today the front is covered in bird crap...pitfalls of living by the sea....damn seagulls,no respect

That brings back memories from when I had a classic......I agree, very fiddly on your own!

#33 by Discodaz , Sun Apr 07, 2013 4:37 pm

Yeah,im pleased with it and at 40 quid its a cheap enough mod

Mine already had the bar on. It's when I bought a towbar, and trying to attach the 2 at the same time on my own was.....ermmmm...... fiddly to say the least!

#35 by Discodaz , Sun Apr 07, 2013 4:45 pm

Yes it is..thing is i sat the bolts in place before i tightened the nuts up then removed and worked on the other side,did the same till it was positioned right.but....turns out when you go back to the first side,its moved and you cant get the bolts through...pita but,its done now.

It was a few years ago now.
On the same subject......I painted the towbar on my pram yesterday. I considered taking it off, and getting it powered coated. Soon changed my mind, as the Raging Bulls have a unique & bigger rear bumper - which I could see wrapped round my face! So I painted it in situ!

#37 by Discodaz , Sun Apr 07, 2013 4:58 pm

Yeah i painted mine on friday...tell ya what i used ,fortress metal paint from b&q...im not a fan of hammerite so decided to try this.it leaves a great finish,im really pleased with it..only cost about 6 quid

Daz

#38 by Gezza , Sun Apr 07, 2013 5:05 pm

Hammerite and I don't get on either, so I used the same stuff I painted my rear drums with. Heat rated from Halfords, it turned out well - nice and smooth

#39 by Discodaz , Sun Apr 07, 2013 5:08 pm

Know what you mean,hammerite is to thick to get a decent finish...last thing i wanted was to see brush marks.this stuff has impressed me really guaranteed for 5 years as well so....we will see

Bit more tinkering today....ive wanted a set of silver window switch panels but they tend to sell for daft money really.

So,being the resourceful fella i am,i bought a can of silver plastikote spray and did them myself

The new shapes suffer badly with wear on the silver window switch surrounds....looks like a good job you've done there

#44 by Discodaz , Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:10 pm

Yeah,thanks...they do look nice..much better than the black ones..beauty about it is,if they fade in time,3 quid a can of spray and back to good as new...cheap easy mod....

Daz

#45 by woody13 , Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:12 pm

So as the sun is shining, i'll remove my surrounds and get them posted to you!!

#47 by Discodaz , Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:23 pm

Lol,a monkey can do it tbh...its not hard. 45 mins and dry enough to re fit

Daz

#48 by Gezza , Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:27 pm

Well it's only the drivers door thats got some wear on it.......priced one at Mitsi - £70 I think, hence it's stayed as is!

#49 by Discodaz , Sun Apr 28, 2013 2:51 pm

Bit more done today...not much cos its chuffing freezing here today...

Wiper arms.....started to flake and look crap,so off to the workshop ( shed) to get them cleaned up and sprayed.they look like new again now..piccies to follow.
I need to do the canopy rails as these are starting to do the same.as i said,its too cold today so thats next weeks job.remove,sand down and clean,then resprayed.

Oh,also had a very quick go at the alloys..i started to rub the oxidation off today,only did one spoke but i can see how with a little effort and time they can look good again.
