Lay it on the floor in the booth for a couple of bakes or when fitted rig up a jig to hold it flat / straight and get Barry to bake it then...?

Soon straighten things out

Looks lubbly

* Nice work Barry, from one Paint application technician to another

The Alpina skirt is quite flexible and is bowing because of the position on the trestle. If you held it up it would go straight again.

I'm not a painter or panel man, just a service technician.

they will fit straight, i made sure by playing with them for hours before it went for paint. they weren't put on straight by sytners when new though.

When you come to put it all back together,Simon,alocate yourself a fixed time slot each week that is just 'pina time. This way you will look forward to the work,and your 'er indoors will be more understanding. Be worth the extra effort,and as you say,you have no real deadline to meet.

That is the tits. Si that is going to look stunning when complete. They have done a top job on your E30. Look forward to seeing the finished result.

Post Wed Jul 02, 2008 11:10 pm

it isn't home yet and i don't know if it's all finished! I'm not really worried either in a chilled way

BUT, i heard a rumour today that i'd been not happy and asked the guys to re-do some of the work.

Can i state this is BULLSH!T

Who the f*cks spreading this one???!!! Jesus, have people got b0ll0x all else to do?

Barry would never let that car hit the trailer for home if there was one thing wrong. I've had a couple of bits done at his gaff now and each time they've been excellent. He's even pointed out areas where he thinks it could have been better. Christ you'd need the most powerfull miscroscope to spot them. I still can't see them now. He's a perfectionist, full stop!

Just a jealous hater Si, To be honest I'd say this is the resto that many of us dream of. It was always going to attract some plank that will spread shite (But that's enough about Pete)

I love you Si don't worry

You unfortunatly suffer the same problem as i and just look like a moody fecker even when your happy

The cars going to make it all worthwhile in the end fear not

well you do have strong points of view and a wierd accent but plain jealousy seems to be the great driving force on this forum, had some joker spam my thread with comments about my car only being good for scrap, think i put that one to bed

still, its a shame that with all this time, effort and skill youre going to end up with a worthless turd :lol:

I dont know what there is to be jealous of, unless its the ability to get off ones arse and graft, I dont think there is anything in this thread that has been handed on a plate

.... and some folk would never go ahead with what you have.
Not that it counts for much, but anyone who actually finishes a resto like this has my full admiration. Especially those who get their hands dirty by doing some of the work themselves. Fair play mate.

Post Sun Jul 13, 2008 9:32 pm

Glad to hear it's home Si. Now the long task of bodging the rest of it

Post Sun Jul 13, 2008 11:21 pm
