#21: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: glenpring, Location: KENTPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:32 am ---- whats that black sturff you filling the gap with???
#22: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 3:46 am ---- why are you using tigerseal to fill the gap like that?
#23: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: JG220, Location: At my deskPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 5:04 am ---- Poor thing
#24: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Ryan..., Location: ChesterfieldPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 5:40 am ---- Due to broken clips and to guarantee it will not move the underside and edges have been tigersealed. the excess will be sanded down then smoothing starts. on the rear bumper if we don't fill it out abit then then the filler will most certainly crack, plastic welding could deformed it and tigerseal is just as good as fiberglass for things like that.

i disagree that tigerseal is just as good as fibreglass for that.... tigerseal's primary job is as an adhesive not as a building compound, unlike fibreglass where its primary job is as a building compound....
if it was me doing the job i would have tigersealed the strips on the car and bumper and then fibreglassed the edges to get a smooth finish not try and get the tigerseal to do a job its not properly designed to do.... i know tigerseal can be sanded and can fill out a bit but it's not the way i'd recommend at all...
#26: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Ryan..., Location: ChesterfieldPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 10:05 am ---- It seems to work brilliantly and filler 'sticks' to it better. One of them things that's not meant to do it but does
It's also even as it was applied with a finger.

wont last tho mate. fibreglass would be even if applied properly aswell. the filler wont fully adhere as tigerseal contains slight amounts of silicone, this prevents all the moisture in the filler from escaping so cannot fully dry.

Good luck with the project Ryan.
ok, sorry brian. just would rather say something now than not and it fall off the car at a later date....
#34: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: sillyhilly, Location: The Mean Streets of CoventryPosted: Tue Nov 02, 2010 12:05 pm ---- I'm glad you resecued the car - that exhaust and the mingin green is diabolical.
ok, sorry brian. just would rather say something now than not and it fall off the car at a later date....
Of course, advising the guy is cool with me too but people are just starting to bang on about it, which is pointless. I thought i'd nip this in the butt before people start doing it all the time and prevent the guy from posting his WIP.

#42: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Ryan..., Location: ChesterfieldPosted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:06 pm ---- Silver..... brings the candy up better.

#45: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Ryan..., Location: ChesterfieldPosted: Wed Nov 03, 2010 2:36 pm ---- Take it you do bodywork for a living? The lad who owns this car owns his own bodyshop aswell.

#48: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Fri Nov 05, 2010 3:33 pm ---- that will likely be subaru 35j then i was painter for subaru before i was made redundant lol.
#49: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Ryan..., Location: ChesterfieldPosted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 3:40 pm ---- Sneak peak :).

#50: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 3:43 pm ---- looks more like o2c world rally blue looks good tho
#51: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: no_offences, Location: LeedsPosted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 3:58 pm ---- slag his methods all you want, at least he realised sp arches look bollox and a silly stuck on mod, they actually look acceptable smoothed a little, well done mate
#52: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 4:13 pm ---- my only critisism from that photo is the inner arch should have been masked off as the suspension isnt meant to be that colour lol.
#53: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: =ZiAn=, Location: SloveniaPosted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 4:19 pm ---- Liking the color and I completely agree with no_offences. @Teebag, lol I haven't even noticed before you mentioned it (must be the late hour), but yeah too bad they didn't mask it.
#54: Re: Project Semi-Smooth Author: Ryan..., Location: ChesterfieldPosted: Sun Nov 07, 2010 4:21 pm ---- Not really a problem. All the suspensions being changed anyway.
