Great to hear from you again. Thanks for sharing

[@sausage5849]

Coming along nicely Stu!

[@uwusmolbean]

I like that blue color !

[@t.h.o.r.]

Yes its a later colour from the 1980s called Stratos. It will ping when it gets the limestone wheels rims and roof

oh man, never thought about using epoxy to bond aluminium, brilliant!!!

[@t.h.o.r.]

Glad you liked it!

[@Dumarest42]

Nice work. What type of paint do you use?

[@t.h.o.r.]

its an automotive 2pack from italy. sorry i dont remember the brand. but it is lasting well.

[@Dumarest42]

Thanks for the reply. Do you remember if it's enamel or urethane etc. I've started stripping, SE primer. Working out what's best for the colour.

Hi, is there any particular reason to use JB Weld over any other type or brand of two-part epoxy adhesive? Cheers!

[@t.h.o.r.]

the only other one here in NZ is a plastercene type that is great for build ing up a large lump but no good for glueing or sticking fine stuff together

[@rupertthomson]

@@t.h.o.r. I see, thank you!

Agree great colour and love how you pass on tips all the time as you go.
Friendly note that your sound levels were a bit up & down on this vid, did make hearing your words of wisdom a little problematic, but we can't all be editing experts can we.
Having grown up listening to the BBC on shortwave, it takes more than a little sound fade to put me off watching!

Not one face mask was injured in this video. Great content , but from a guy who watched his dad die from inhalation issues, please wear one

I agree plus that Land Rover next to the tub is going to be covered in overspray.
