Murd 55 Posted July 5, 2010 Report Share Posted July 5, 2010 there is only one place in adelaide that I'm aware of that will do a properly heat sealed vinyl roof and they are not cheap! most are just stiched and moisture can still get through and cause damage. i know this because a guy at my work restoring a xb to orig spec got a new vinyl roof for it cost him around 1k. i think that the ke10 would look far better without a vinyl roof, but thats my opinion. colour choice looks good will be interesting to see it on a old girl.

greenmac80 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 haven't done too much to this lately.. been working on the daily more.. but i've started designing flares for it... 40mm don't mind the bog.. i' trying out a new method... they do it in the states where you skim the car with a layer of bog.. and sand it back. its working really well. you panel beat the dents. skim it sand back with 40grit and basically in one hit its straight. and i've collected ke20 front end gear for it.

I'm going to be spraying the inner guards and doors of my Ke11 soonish. I can't remember the flow of my father compressor but its small and direct drive so i don't think its much.

greenmac80 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 a small compressor wil be fine for small areas.. its when your spraying an entire car.. you have to keep the 2 pack 'wet' so you need to spray without stopping so you need a larger one. i sprayed a trailer with a 100l/min direct drive thing and you could get through a quarter of it at a time.

greenmac80 Posted September 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 so progress is still happening with this thing.. currently its tipped up on its side. diff has been removed. and i've begun rust repairs. the bottom rear quarter on te drivers side has had to be completely rebuilt. the outside has been finished.. still need to repair the wheel well and the backside of the bottom bit. also cut out a huge chunk of rust in the sill panel.. really annoying here as both layers of metal a fubar so i'm having to try and stitch in 2 layers to retain the stock drainage and strength.. attempted to use a gravity fed sandblaster to do the bottom of my floor pan but it takes way too long.. so the car will be heading to my work soon. there it will have the floor pan blasted.. then stitch weld the chassis and primed in a protec zinc phosphate. flares are being ditched.. not doing em car is taking a different direction will go bolt ons later on. although temporary its gonna get regoed with a 3k and become the daily for a while.. the current daily will come off the rd for a full rust cut and repaint. the reasoning behind this is the fact that the 11 will have to go through regency for rego so i have to put a stock engine in it anyways. so this being fresh and stock will give me good timing to redo the paint on the ke30.. will be schmiko when finished.
