yer £200ish, looks worse than it is i think, needs body work but i was planning on what ever car i brought anyway so not a problem,

just a few minor things to fix to be road legal too but not that bad,

Brakes and wish bones were on sheet I know, he started doing breaks but not finished them, I will take them apart have a look when I get 5 mins.
#34: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:53 pm ---- had a quick go with some car paint thinner when i got in today came off dead easy.........
a lot thicker on roof....
on the piller there are a few marks but other than that so far paintwork under has hardly been touched.

hopfully thats the plan yes, this white paint is so flakey so taking it off to get down to good base.
can see if anything is hidden under that white paint too.

You will probably have to I doubt you could get the blue looking nice if it's had that s**t all over it.
Out of interest how is the thinners getting the white off, and not the blue?
Respect you for this challenge as well, I thought you meant sport bumpers and SP crap project

well the smooth door locks, smoothed aerial will have filler around them so paint will be naff round them i would think, dunno,
i dunno the white comes off so easy with the thinner on, no effort once it gets going. then i just wash it down to get all the residue off.
next door has some in his garage so we tried it.
Ah fair enough, looks rough as hell. Who would even attempt to do that with such little knowledge
#45: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Mon Mar 21, 2011 4:33 pm ---- The laquer will be protecting the paint... I think

will all be good! we know it will need a full respray wso doesnt really matter what the thinners will do to the china blue underneath so long as it leaves a solid area to prime over.....
it has had the rear archs curled up like we did to yours matt,
got to sort these brakes too rolled off drive earlyer as i forgot they didnt work
#50: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:04 pm ---- slowly but surely its coming off.........
the bit on front were aerial should be is filler where its been filled.
#51: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:13 pm ---- wow! rear arches being rolled up isnt a problem ben. need to check whats under the filler considering how shoddy the paint has been put on.... the china blue is looking good tho..... careful using thinners on the plastics as it can melt them.

true have been thinking about the filler, will get the rest of the car done then investigate, see if any other filler is covered up.
yer the thinner melted the gloves i was wearing

matt
true door locks have just filler in them, and boot has expanding foam.
#55: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:27 pm ---- boots a fibreglass panel then...... expanding foam to fill the void is ok. door locks idealy want welding up. ariel hole wants welding up. perfect world the boot wants welding smooth aswell.... all can be done using fibreglass and filler, but just filler is a no no.
#56: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 4:08 pm ---- yer could be and probably is i will strip boot tomoro see what it is,
welding for all the stuff i have planned anyway, best way imo,

What could I use to just remove lacquer? Or blend new lacquer in?
probably sand it off Jared I'm unsure, pm Matt (teebag) he will know I'm sure.
Come practice on mine and get some of this white off lol
#61: Re: Northantsben's xs project, **PG4 latest update** Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 5:14 am ---- let us know if you need any parts, i got loads of crap left over lol.....
as for taking paint off, its not the nicest of jobs, takes ages, you found any multicoloured panels underneath, ie a green door or red bonnet ha
#62: Re: Northantsben's xs project, **PG4 latest update** Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 5:23 am ---- Not yet, apart from silver spoiler,
Little bit of filler.
#63: Re: Northantsben's xs project, **PG4 latest update** Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 9:05 am ---- ben mate you not thought of just using a sander to blitz the white of if your gonna get it resprayed at some point?
i bet somethin like a 500 grit would be perfect to take the white off without going deep into the China lacquer?
#64: Re: Northantsben's xs project, **PG4 latest update** Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 1:57 pm ---- Well all I'm doing ATM the min is lay a cloth on car and pour thinner on cloth (holds it self to side of car etc)
Leave it 5mins, take off cloth and it's all bubbled up.
Then just remove it with credit card type card.
So very easy ATM requires no effort the tough bits I will sand.
+ this methord there is not White dust flying everwere all over next doors car lol
#65: Re: Northantsben's xs project, **PG5 last update** Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Sat Mar 26, 2011 11:52 am ---- got brakes sorted so its safe to move around (as it had none at all) the rear was bad, the hub nut was cross threaded grrrr (32mm btw ) and also couldnt get the hub off to save my life so just hit the stub axle out to get hub off,
bearing also naff on that side but planning on disc conversion anyway. (bloke had done other sides brakes) main thing is now it dont roll off drive or i have to use the reverse and 1st to brake when moving it around
also removed a bit more paint

The exhaust you've got on at the moment is just waiting for a speedbump to come along and put a huge dent in the backbox

The exhaust is purly there ATM to stop noise while moving car around drive etc. it's not on brackets it's just hanging there lol. will be fitting a standard saxo exhaust as its shorter so will be hidden under car and not be seen.

i think the grey example could be the best. i saw a civic somewhere that put the lights into the rear c pillar trims so the could be seen out the rear window.
#92: Re: Northantsben's xs project, **PG6 last update** Author: craigdmjv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:53 pm ---- i think you should properly smooth it e.g. side and bumper strips, handles, rear lights, tint the front lights, put the indicators in the mirrors and paint it matt black with euro chrome wheels and lower it
