bog/filler work

Post by luke »

all motorvation is gone, dead, flat, etc. it has simply dissapeared.

i am after someone/somebodies to quote me to do my 1200 coupe, so when they are finished, its ready for paint.

engine bay is done. bonnet and boot require next to nothing. doors..... unknown.

not the richest man in the world so cant afford huge rates etc. i just dont want this to stop me from finishing my car.

i know there are people out there who dont think it destroys your soul to sand constantly, however i am not one of them.

i will help out if somebody else is working on it etc, but alone its so super shit!

Just keep on trucking dude.
Take a break
Go on holiday
Go root the mrs
Just have a break from working on your datto. Go see some other datsun folk then you will be excited again to work on your car.
Remember also you have only been building a few months.
For some who are in the same money situation you are it takes years(me too)

the problem is........ its been at home for 3 weeks! and still nothing has been done.

i can realisticly afford the almost best..... short of a no bog job.

who did yours? would they be keen for a smaller car version? money is almost all there

I use a guy name Jeff whittaker. I don't know if he's still there or not, but he was working out of a shed in what used to be the car park of the hillsbourough tavern. He's been beating forever. And does a decent job. He did my val, and my old mans plymouth. And both cars are pretty straight now.
They don't call me the man with the rubber arm for nothing you know.............
