CRAZYDAVE Posted September 7, 2014 Posted September 7, 2014 is this not the one from inverness?????????????meant to be really good nick bud! I'm sure it is and the guy that had it before LOVED stonechip even the skirts were stonechip coated into the body! I saw it when i collected some parts from him last year in Moray. Best of luck with the rebuild looked a solid base Quote
Caprica Jonny Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 It is the one from Buckie and its is in pretty dam good condition to be fair. The guy did love stone chip and silicone sealer..... it is everywhere ahah but well sealed all round. Quote
Caprica Jonny Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) As the stip is well under way with what little time I have free at present... I have come across an issue/............. As I am removing the plastics they seemed to be stuck, on closer inspection I have found the the back bay has been tarred! Yes, tarred. Does anybody know and anyway to remove this stuff!!!! Its about 5mm think coating.... you can see where I've chipped it away..

mikemanta Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 heat gun and scraper should get most of it off then some panel wipe or tar and glue remover should get the rest off but it is going to be messy Quote
Caprica Jonny Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 And with all the plastic now molded to it I see breakages ahaha oh joy... new parts ahoy. That can be this weeks job... Quote
