berk that dosent sound good,hey Norm

Clearcoat? Are you clearcoating everything? last time I tried putting profilm over clearcoat, it was not pretty - the clearcoat bubbled/offgassed somewhat underneath the profilm when I turned the heat up to shrink it.

Only clearcoating under, and over solartex covering holes on firebox.... The firebox and F1 are very lightly glassed so wont get any clearcoat.

Clearcoat on balsa where film edges are really lock it down. I always use a low heat, even on profilm..

Dunno what profilm colours i'm gonna use, but it will be pearly!!!!

just been reading the tutorial in the Perkins catalogue by some bloke

Regards,

Steve

Been busy this weekend, but not flying .

Bought a Volvo yesterday, so I am now technically "and old man". Cloth cap order is going in on monday [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]. Only kidding, I bought the T5 version - at 250 bhp it is not lacking in poke

So on a related issue, any one interested in a Subaru Impreza Turbo? 95 N reg, well cared for and in good condition Can fit a Capiche 140 in it

Sore point!

I just managed to fit my C140 in the car to work on at a friends house...

It only just fits in minus engine mount and rudder... I'm doomed.. I have an estate as well!!

Need to buy a new car.... or sell the 140!!

Steve

sounds like a new car.

I'm really suprised it wont fit in an estate. I can just about jam mine in my little hatchback.

Luke,

It's crap for room when the seats are down, yet normally there's plenty of rear legroom..

It has to go... but not until I decide what to have next...T5 would be nice.. though I did like my old BMW 330I, and my 325I after that (current).... I might take a look at the mondeo X-type estate....

Carbon copy Are replacing the spats for me, just about to order profilm... 8 Metres of pearly white as a base?....

Regards,

Steve

Biggest estates are the E class mercs. Tried a 5 series, did not like it, but not bad for room. Audi A6 is pretty big, and of course the volvo. Otherwise yes the mondeo looks good, and the Pug 406 is big too.

Unlimited funds, would be the Audi RS6, but as funds are limited, had to go with the T5.

What about a van, can't go wrong, a mobile workshop.

Im getting a hippy van for my first car multi purpose

Trust me, that other purpose is unlikely to happen[]

Just get a Reno Scenic....

fits in a Porsche Cayenne with no probs Cant even fit the flight box in the Boxter though

I'm ok for the moment, my mate Ivan's got a Renault Master.. though I might have to disguise it as a US WW2 fighter...

Those Daihatsu minivan things are nice, or the Rascal. Very rickety and look like they will fall apart, loads of fun.
