    Rebody After a lot of thinking

    That would be a great idea but I live in Greece. Over here we have VW kits, like the dune buggy, beach buggy and 356. I have seen only on "california" Z3 and tried to communicate with the owner but he seemed he could not hear me over the rumbling noise of his ego. Even if the car was a total...

    Rebody After a lot of thinking

    Most of my friends suggest a 356 beetle/Porsche that is as easy as can be.

But no A/C no hydraulic steering, no power, no...

    Rebody After a lot of thinking

    I am warching both your threads. You seem to be more laid back and @Pond is the perfectionist that will never achieve perfection. Maybe you both reach what you are after but one will walk a longer distance imho. I checked local rules, I can do whatever to the outer body of the car but have to...

    Rebody After a lot of thinking

    Nobody says anything about how the car feels on the road. when over a bump, how does it feel? Like falling appart? Doind noises like an empty shell? Ok-ish? Perfect? I once had a fiberglass hood on a car and got rid of it because it was always making funny noises over bumps. Creeked, thudded...

    I think I finally want to start a rebody. Retired, nothing to do all day, all my cars are in good order and finally cottage finished and furnished so selling the house in Athens and leaving for the island. I now have two options to keep me busy. Option one- build a boat. Free space in the...

    Looking for a little one-handed polisher?

    Nope. But whatever you pick, make it a cord one. Batteries will not last a whole car in once.

    Looking for a little one-handed polisher?

    Five dots the size of your thumbnail in an X pattern. tap-tap-tap on an area of 20X20cm and the on very low revs start moving one direction back and forth. when the area is hazy enough, increase speed by 1/3rd and move quicker. do never press the buffer, just let it do its stuff.

    Looking for a little one-handed polisher?

    Use the one you have. Once you get familiar with it you will do miracles. the little one hand ones are good just for a quick buffing with the wool pad and pretty soon you will throw it away.

    Exhaust

    I am not 100% sure on what I say, but this is supposed to be more of a resonator and less of a silencer. Better be sure about what it does, or else you may end with a very disturbing noise from the exhaust. or not, if you are into that stuff...
