CurtisRider Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Finally got round to fixing my CAD files and I have printed out one half of my boot pin seal mould...it fits the original seal so I have done at least one part right :cool: The second half is currently printing and should be ready when I wake up tomorrow :hope: I'll wax them up (as a release agent) and use some cheap silicone as a test to see if it's all good. There are 3D printable rubbers available (not cheap) that I may have a play with if this is successful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 I'm so knackered, got some work done on the Golf though. The DP gasket is off, I'll have to go and get a new gasket for it tomorrow. I refinished some horrible bits in plastidip. Grille is fitted properly now with the badge. The tints are gone off the lights. I removed the sun strip. Needs wheels SO badly now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Looking better. You gonna sort the bonnet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thing with the bonnet is that the paint is super faded underneath I think. f**k it, I'm going out to peel it off now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pashley26 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yeah, so that's f**ked. It's a different colour, it's faded and generally I shouldn't have touched the wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted February 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 You'll get used to it mate, my car has a different shade of red on each panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashley26 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 You'll get used to it mate, my car has a different shade of red on each panel. But if you dug deep you could fix that. This is actually a different colour haha. I'll just wrap it again, boom there's a waste of £30. Cheers Danny... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 It was a wiggly looking wrap job anyway so it's for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah seriously, it's had a few spray touch ups here and there and the colours are very different - it's not just paint fade, though you can throw that into the mix as well. It needs a re-spray really, I'd like to get the arches welded and a full spray, but that's more than the value of the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Jardo, in your line of work that's a £60-80 fix. Don't wrap it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I got my car tracked and corner weighted today. Do these figures look right? I was the first car they have ever done and got it for free because of this but not sure if it's right.

MartMini Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Looks fine, which part are you questioning? Edit : You'll properly find the drivers side is heavier due to engine/ fuel tank placement Edited February 22, 2015 by MartMini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Questioning just if it looks generally right matey. Completely new to all of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR28 Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 Its not miles out Dan, the theory is very simple though, anyone willing to spend £750 on a set of scales (those are the same ones I nearly bought) should learn how to use them (a few minutes on Google). There are quite a lot of procedures you need to follow to get a good result too. Needs more weight on rear left and front right ideally, not sure how feasible it is in practice with a rear beam though. Which model is your car exactly? How much did you weigh in at? How did the geo go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
