Paras bus resto

  1. Some of the other seams have cracked
    Aswell and with filler cracking and the other defects it really needs repainting
    I've just been daubing ankor wax into the cracks to keep the weather out for now
    It seems to be doing an ok job of slowing the progress down.

    Should have kept the landy and got a bigger tent, you lot need to get with the future and go galvanised.

  3. I'd imagine it would be a lot cheaper than a respray aswell as a quicker turnaround

  4. Sure I read somewhere that after using another wax you can't paint it . Something to do with the paint not sticking or something like that
     
  5. It can be wiped off using a solvent and any residue can be broken down/removed with an alkaline based cleaner

  6. why has the paint gone so bad? water is seeping through the filler from the back of the seams?
    if you have moisture in the primer... is that because it was sprayed in cold temperatures or something?

    that's devastating...
     
  7. Devastating is the operative word

  9. It's going to be fun fitting this without scratching it
    I must remember to fill it with oil first though.

    I see you've already got a crate of peroni under the seat for that first camping trip. I never go without it. :beer:

  15. Well I got it in place without scratching it only to confirm my suspicions that you can't use an earlier style nose cone mount with a later nose cone.
    So I dropped it back out swapped mounts and fitted it back in again without scratching it
