Anyone know the story behind the paint stripped car -- was it one of "our's"?


Ken T's car ... bought like it as a project!  :y  :y  :y  :y


yes what happened was :

my previous Mig had died with engine problems, before I knew about the forum, so I started looking for a replacement. At that time X and Y reg migs were about £2K, but I found this one in a salvage yard for £2300. All that was wrong was someone had poured paint stripper over every panel. Was it local vandels, or the wife of an unfaithful husband we will never know.

I started getting quotes for respraying, and they were all around £2K, so I thought I would try and respray her myself. So I got respray DVD's, watched several times, bought etch primer, high build primer, plastic primer, base coat, top coat, spray guns, compressor, even an air fed face mask, lots of sanding paper etc, etc. Trouble is the weather has been lousy over the last couple of years for spraying, and during the few good days, I always seem to have been working somewhere. However with a bit of luck I might get it done this year.

I wonder do Low Knee and Pete do resprays ?   ;D

Ken

PS great to  meet the guys at york, on Sunday afternoon  :y :y :y
