hi all . i am concidering getting this kit ... but i was wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to lower the ride hight ? if so could you please upload a pic on how its done please thanks stu

i hope this doesn't sound rude as i don't mean it to but do you no what the "english" traslation is for "Kodin Putkimies" ? as i can't find any liquid i can only find the "gel" drain unblocker

is it a gel or liquid ???

i'm from uk mate so i will have a look for it... thanks mate

is that the "mr muscle drain unbloker" ?? if so will it take off automotive spray paint ?? by the way your nova is coming along very nicly indeed

no problem mate.

when wet sanding i wet sand each coat prior to next coat with 2500...then clear coat and wet sand prior to next coat with 2500... on the final coat of clear wet sand from 8000 up to 12000 but be careful not to burn through. once i'm done with the 12000 then i take a clean piece of cotton tshirt or something simlar... apply the rubbing compound and rub in well till left with a cloudy dry coat... then take a new lint free cloth and continue buffing till the shine comes out . you can apply wax or polish after to enhance the shine more if needed. hope that helps you out stu

last few ride hight chassis, engine, interior all together thanks for looking in hope you all like the progress so far stu

few more interior engine moch up

hi all thanks for the help with the paint... i still haven't sorted it out yet i am just waiting to get some oven cleaner and try to start the doors over again... but on the plus side i got alot done on her while waiting ... wheels have been painted... i added a roof scoop to the car... chassis is done... ride hight is set...engine done...interior done... so all in all i am just waiting on the body then she can be all wrapped up lol . wheels roof scoop chassis

not sure if this will help you out http://www.briansmodelcars.com/tutorials/index page 9

i agree doc... Good call on the colour... She is looking sweet as... And you can't go wrong with good old Halfords paint lol

will that oven cleaner take the super glue and the filler off as well ????...and the primer / paint combo is the same i have used for years with no problems till now lol

see the paint i have used on another car not so long ago... i havent sript it all the way back because i dont know how to well i dont know wha to use to get the paint off as its automotive paint... but the primer goes down without a hitch

wen the paint is dry i did pop them and push them down to see if anything came out but nothing came out at all

is that the same as methylated spirits?????

they come up as the paints drying. i have tried to let it fully dry out then rub it down and try again... but the same happens again...

oooohhhh my its fun lol, i dont mind body work as i am a trained car body work tech so its all cool for me lol i am using spray cans .

hey all thanks for the comments ... i have been trying to get the paint done but i have run into a problem with the doors... as you can see... i dont know what it is but it only pops up as the paint is drying... while the paint is still wet its perfect. but i am hoping to crack on later today with some engine and interior stuff. thanks for looking stu

i think the paint is ok because i used it not so long ago on another car and it went perfect... i am spraying straight out of the can and they dont appear till the paint is starting to dry ... while the paint is wet its perfect but as its drying they start to pop up

hi all i am in real bad need of some help... i have done the body work on my " flea market find " and its come to the painting time... i am using the same paint/primer combo i all ways use witch is automotive paint and primer. i have had no problems in the past BUT this time i have wet sanded the panels ... primed them and all went well till... i put the colour on and its doing this > i really dont know what has gone wrong but i would like to get it sorted before i paint the body...PLEASE SOMEONE HELP... lol thanks stu

just my opinion but i think the paint should look all worn out as if its just come out from the deapths of hell ... but its your model so your call... either way she gonna look freaking mental when you get her done... excelent work so far your car will be well is in a league of its own !!!!!!

she's defo coming along mate . your doing a wicked job on her !!!

thanks mate. I know i do like skylines and supras but there was just something that caught my eye when i saw this... And the thoughts that came in my head where going mad so i had to have lol . Yeah its a Nissan silvia s13 or s14.

dude them nova's are sweet as hell !! I love the smoke on the first one sweet touch
