[tech1889]

so progress will begin to increase when more grit arrives ??

Is the grit expensive ??

when grit arrives,   i should be abel to start blasting in the morning,  and have the inside underside and enigne bay primed in the afternoon, 
thinking over the pros' and cons of giveinig it a quick pre prime dusting over with a rust converter.

the grit not to bad in price as long as you buy it by the pallet / ton.  gound glass is aout £160 per 1000KG off ebay  £4 per bag + delivery so about £5.20 to the door iirc

i hear rumrs i can buy ground glass as cheep as £26 per ton tho just not found out where from,  B&Q ether sell or used to sell recyceld glass sand for pavers at sub £2  per bag  so looking into that as got to be worth trying that.  I was a bit naughty with the door and didn't use grit but dryed building sand just to see how well it worked,  ground glass is soposed to be more effective as well as healthyer

littel distraction from the passat.  it would appear something opendthe stabel door and some ponies escaped.



can't be haveing that so a bit of bodge it and scarper,  blast it with acetone and add epoxy



all ponies herded back in, stable door securely nailed shut and securely remounted so it dosent happen again.

as for the golf no much, havent got round to painting the test door yet that should happen at weekend after that can crack on with the blasting side of things.  but some bits did arrive yesterday



got fed u trying to find unf**ked shrouds, collets and holders  so bought a kit thing so should save some time when doing stuff on the golf.  and as ther are going to be a few welds on show thought best get some new gloves so can feel what i'm doing and not end up with a sunburnt hand.

and just because and for tight spots got to have some of these

B&Q ether sell or used to sell recyceld glass sand for pavers at sub £2  per bag  so looking into that as got to be worth trying that.
