Delbert Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Dave, How can you get so grubby. The job is so simple I could do it in a white Armani suit As I have explained before 1)give your credit card to man in Blue overalls 2) retire to pub 3) return and sign piece of paper Where are power tools needed in that procedure 🤔 😬 Too Old to die Young Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mav Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 1)give your credit card to man in Blue overalls You did not A. give me your credit card, and B. I do not own a pair of blue overalls. 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 OK When a fettler as opposed to a profit making engimineer is doing job 1) turn up at House , 2) Hand over car keys to the on looking the most excited 3) drink beer 4) make interested noises 5)Take out Fettler, Fettlers partner/spouse ,credit card and eat drink and be merry I might add that this is a significantly better option Too Old to die Young 😬 Edited by - Delbert on 6 Jan 2005 13:42:49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry21p Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 update - hammerite + hair = pain. Lots of pain. anti-rust product (contains phosphoric acid) + crap jumpers that grandma gave me last christmas = good moth effect on jumper. I've hammerited my car! woohoo. Now got to work out where all the bits go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry21p Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 FINISHED! Managed to get the arse end of my car back together with NO left over nuts/washers/key parts. I then discovered exactly HOW sticky spray underseal was. 'Nother serious hair scrubbing later and I look a little bit less like cousin it from the addams family.

Myles Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Is now not a good time to mention that POR15 is better than Hammerite? No? Thought not.... Project Scope-Creep is underway...

Buda Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 'just for men' is much less trouble when colouring hair than hammerite, its not as permanent though, or you could try greecian 2000 (sp?) and it comes in loads and loads of different colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normans_Ghost Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 a la Myles, is it not a good time to mention that coach paint doesn't chip like hammerite. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry21p Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Whilst myles is correct, as is norman - you have to consider that bare metal was really rubbish at not going rusty and needs must! Unlike a 7, the 21 is a bugger to get apart to access the chassis, so hammerite (as it was to hand) made the best, easiest and quickest choice! And besides, it SOUNDS better than the alternatives. mmaybe I can use whatever the alternative products are next time to cover the bits of hammerite that have gone rusty?

Myles Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 POR15 prefers a rusty finish - as long as it's not loose... I had to do some bits on my 2.5yro Focus suspension a few weeks ago...
