  6. Thread from the dead!!!!

    Ok so have a little update, I bought some new bunk bed canvas from heritage the other week, so decided to sort out the original bunks.

    I bought 2 steel bars from a local steel shop for a fiver. Then decided to bolt them instead of self tappers.

    Still need to sort out fitting the L shaped brackets and the front hooks.

  7. Then started looking at sorting out the rubber on the opening quarters.

    Does anyone know which rivets I need to drill out to change the rubbers?

    Then it's just the front hooks that I need to figure out, I need to work out a way to bolt them on instead of self tappers

    [​IMG]

    Then lastly...

    Does anyone know if I should drill this rivet out prior to powdercoaters? Or just leave it?

  16. Yeah I thought I was.. But I'm slow haha. Haven't done anything for about 6 months.
    Also there's a lot more body work than I was expecting!

    I'll be doing the prep myself (won't be perfect but oh well) then I think I'll paint it myself too this summer hopefully!
     
  17. At last ! :)
