slybunda Posted 14 January Author Report Posted 14 January Got a compressor on order now too, just the air hose left to order then will have the whole kit. All I need to do then is test it all works and then wait for warmer weather to crack on with.
slybunda Posted 17 January Author Report Posted 17 January The air compressor and gun arrived yesterday will wait now for good weather then get to work 1
Infiniteblue Posted 17 January Report Posted 17 January Looks a pretty good compressor that should do the job nicely, i stick a cardboard box over the motor temporarily quietens em right down. Yeah ultra dry s gonna prolly really help maybe blast out with just compressed air before you start. Im considering drilling a couple of extra strategically placed extra drain holes in mine- good idea dyou think? The sill covers are easy to remove from what i can remember just 3 bolts, the clips are harder to remove a tool does help, but i think the covers do go back on a certain way so make a note. 1
slybunda Posted 18 January Author Report Posted 18 January (edited) Seems decent this compressor, it looks exactly the same as the one sold under brands like sgs, Clarke, sip etc. Incase People are wondering the compressor is 50L 3hp cost 165 quid from their eBay shop. The cavity wax gun looks just like the sealey branded one but at half the price from Amazon, paid 43 quid plus 3 quid extra for the 3 years accidental damage warranty extension thing.

Infiniteblue Posted 18 January Report Posted 18 January Yeah looks like qu a good compressor that mines similar tbh they all seem to look fairly generic but dont know how they differ in quality but that looks a good un. And your gun looks a good one, in fact ive just bought a sandblaster that looks v similar to that to do the samejob cos the paraffin gun that came with my cheap compressor kit fell to bits, u mite even be able to sand/soda blast any rust away easy with it first too.
slybunda Posted 18 January Author Report Posted 18 January Will look into sand blasting, thought I'd need a cabinet for it and a much larger compressor
Infiniteblue Posted 18 January Report Posted 18 January Ive just gotta handheld one not dissimilar to your new gun thats for handheld insitu confined topical sand/soda blasting not sure how good it works yet
slybunda Posted 21 February Author Report Posted 21 February Still waiting on good weather, will get side skirts off and hopefully it's not rot central.
slybunda Posted 8 March Author Report Posted 8 March Did the waxing on the wife's Aygo today. Used the hand application tool thingy that comes with the sprayer. The cavity wax injection wand wasn't working it just pushes out air and no product. Not sure why will need to read up about it. Used about 1.5litres of the wax and that was being very liberal practically flooded it inside the sills and chassis rails. Will do Celica next weekend if weather holds up. Surprised at how much coverage 1 bottle gives, it's loads, started spraying the underside too since I had so much left over in the pot.
slybunda Posted 11 March Author Report Posted 11 March Using an old kettle to heat the wax makes a big difference for the 360 probe.
