That finish is silver with a it of Crome in it looks nice not too bright this was the wheels before well this was one of the good ones
They look spot on mate, what does he charge? The alloys on my golf need doing, gone the same as yours maybe a bit worse
It depends on what colour etc but normally 80 pounds I think but I'd need to know what you want e.g how many wheels and what colour etc . You would need the tyres off and any weights etc too
Ow and that Wa a pic of the good wheel mine were bad the clear coat had gone and the polished lips were going black
All 4 in a standard alloy wheel sliver if you know what i mean nowt special i will take a couple of pics tomorrow it that helps
Well another step forward today then one back again . Built up the hub on the van with the new brakes etc only to fine the bearings in the hub are makeing a noise, so striped it all out and greased and put back together to fine the spline would not go all the way in after abit of hitting it did but I think it needs new bearings anyway so off came the hub again to strip it for new bearings . Other than that I've not do anything else
As been as its a nice day I thought I'd have another crack at the van and get the cover off for a day or so to air . But I was all ready to crack on then I did not do a lot I ended up sanding the drivers side quarter panel and engine lid again as it will all need doing before the next coat of paint but I feel like I'm getting nowhere at all ,every time I walk round the van there are jobs to be done but carn't be done until its painted or back on the ground ,the rear hub is of and all the brakes and back plates need to come of to be able to press the bearing out for changing luckily my mate has a press in the garage I can use . Anyway here is the difference once the panel is sanded nice and flat before paint I may have to call in some favours from the late Bayer's to help me get back on the road ,to be honest I'm not happy with something's on the van but I also think its no show van and it will be safe and sound so I should just get it ready , not felling it at the moment ......rant over
I e started welding again but it was short lived the welds started to splutter and become even worse as time went on . Due to the fact that the wire was starting to run out on the cheap real I brought , there was a fair bit of wire left but as it got lighter it struggled so while the wire is out I've put a new tip and surround on the gun ready for the new wire ( which will be from boc this time as it much better stuff . Anyway this is the bits I've done and yes I'll be grinding it all back to weld again once the welder is working again . Ow and while I had the chance I ran a blade in the grove on the wheel that feeds the welding gun it's wire as it cleans all the crap out of it and a fair bit came out too . Here is the sill plate , the whole sill needs doing at a later date but for now it will do
Dont lose faith dude we all hit these low points where it gets on top of us You may find if bay brum comes over that the moral support will spur you on
Cheers mate I'm trying to find time to sort it all out I need to make another list of things to do plus carnt order parts until pay day . Hopefully get some more welding wire soon and crack on . May call in some help once I've got it all worked out
Ash i know just how you feel i need about 2k to finish Gladys i wish i had it - with the money and 2 weeks off she would be done
It's always the way dale I've done so much money down it lately and I've not fitted any off it because it needs other things doing first . All the parts are needed just got to crack on with what I can . Your bus will look top notch once done mate I'll be coming to see it once I'm on the road ,could be a while mind lol
go round the van use a pencil and mark and write on each panel any imperfection s that you see circle them draw a line to them so u don t miss any thing , you l crack through it in no time head uo owen nw :mwave:
