Best to make mistakes on something you don't give a flying f*ck about, I reckon.

Where's that dinky little compressor you had off me?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

exactly,  practice for the golf :)


the dinky air compressor is say by the tree and getting a 10 HP petrol engine bolted on it but when tonka toys are avalible it'll get mover to compressor nest allongside garage. to become the mahoosive emergency extra air supply.  but where we are petrol is managable cos the mains wouldn't take anymore load

Nice!

I hope the next paint job will be a windows out job :smiley:

Did you wet the floor to keep the dust down?

the corsa had bonded windscreen so we thought that would be a bit keen on the experiment car.   it did it's job well TBH and highlighted a few things that need attention before the golf gets done.   

we did wet the floor down, really need to get some plastic coveralls as the amount of dust that comes off you is quite supriseing.  and yes the golf will be windows out, and everything else as well.   it cost a couple of hundred to do the corsa in materials but well worth it,  it came up more than good enough for what it is but it taught a few lessons that i think we chould have only learned by actualy doing it.  net one should come up much better much easyer  :smiley:
