General Doc Orange Peel Barchetta project

Hi Doc Glad you are having a good time, weather not so good over here. Quick question what paint are you using is it in an aerosol? and who is the supplier?

Hi Bentley
I use a paint spray gun with my Air Compressor (50 Litre Tank) The tools are not expensive but the skill is all in the prep work.

I cant rememeber the place I got my paint from as I have it in my IE favorites at home so I will let you know once I get home if you want.

Thanks guys I hope to get her back to A1 but its nothing 95% of you all could not do with a bit of time and some cash.

How does the bumper come off? Is it fairly easy? I have to replace an indicator as it has a crack in the plastic.

3 bolts and 1 (?) screw on each side. Remember to unplug the indicator and fogs before removing it. Alternately you could drive it into a tree and the bumper should come off by itself

Thanks Robot I was thinking that I could have a whole new front. Just need some idiot to destroy the front of the car like they did with the back.

Just leave it to me then - I managed destroying front, back and passenger side in one go

See, told-ya!!

I think he's actually on a top secret mission to NASA to try and procure some solid rocket fuel for his boosters and heat proof tiles for the front of his b.............

i doubt NASA can help with a flux capacitor... all those stories about linking NASA developments to Area51 are just not true
Now, they probably CAN help with a huge solar-sail, allthough it would be impractical for every day use...

So, how to go for that sparks effect just before the flux-capacitor kicks in?

Well... Valve cap LED lights CAN add to the effect:
(they are just so :yuck: )

Hehe, I bought a set of these for my kid's bike's, really effective when they are out riding about at dusk - would imagine they look a bit poo on a car though!!

Own up, you bought them for the B and the spotty kid next door said they looked crap and uncool. Then you stuck them on the kids bikes.

 

[LittleRedB]

Almost, I took a co. car to a pistonheads meet a few years ago when I have a Vectra SRi co. car and wanted to make it look as naff as possible, then passed them on to the kids!!

[Alan.D]

Would be perfect for the nipper later on, think you can get them in silver as well........although a respray would be pretty reasonable

HEHE I was looking at it an hour ago I will find out if its a boy or girl on Monday so watch this space.

Becs and I should land back in the UK Sat morning so I will be cracking on with the Barchetta on Sunday as my MOT is due in the next few weeks so need to get the car back together for that. I have some rust around the header tank mounts that need some love so thats whats on the cards for Sunday as well as get my headlights all set up and pointing nice and level.
