Great werk wat jy gedoen het. Wat was jou prosedure om die rims te verf? Het jy die tires afgehaal en die hele rim geverf of net buite en watter verf het jy gebruik?

Groete

Hi Marino

Baie dankie, man om eerlik te wees is die rims verf baie maklik gewees. Die rims is net mooi afgeskuur en dan het ek dit geferf met 2k low gloss verf wat jy by enige automotive verf winkel kan kry.
Ek wou dit matt hê en vir dit gooi jy net n matting agent in, dis basies ook 2k verf wat dit net matt maak. Ek het hulle so 50/50 gemeng om hom baie matt te maak

Ek het sommer net die tyre toe geplak omdat ek swart geferf het, al verf jy die tyre raak dan sien jy dit nie

Luckily there are a lot of people here reading this and you are going to eat your words boy

Dont you worry, I will make sure I get the GPS speed on camera

Things I still want to do in order

1. Make a youtube video to show Marinus and Ian that it can do 160km/h with ease on a straight road and not down a mineshaft

Going 160 is not the problem.
Going beyond that, is.
With lifts and lots of chunky rubber between you and tar, I am not keen on pushing beyond that.

I think a more useful statistic is the torque at different levels of revs, to indicate ability to overtake and doing long dunes.
As for all other uses (other than overtaking and long dunes) it is a matter of knowing your engine and how to use it on the different terrains.

Michael, I envy your skills
I so wish I could use my hands better. I think one can get a great sense of achievement in doing such projects.

Wow, that seems to have been some serious work!

And it ended with a great result, congratulations! Enjoy your ride!

Think I better shut up and sit in my corner!! (don't tell Cedric!!!) but I bought another Oil Burner (yes with no spark Plugs!!) last Friday

Really?

What did you buy?

What??.... What??.... did I hear something strange??..... haha... well done Ian.... What did you get?

It begins with a L... R.... and D...... 4 but don't worry this is the company daily ride my Mean Green will still be parked at my house and will be used at weekends and away trips to the bush Was saying to Tinus yesterday when I die they are going to have to dig a Very Very big hole for me my disco 2 will be my coffin and will be pulled into the hole by my Patrol (no Land Rover wise cracks here!!!) Love those two vehicles!!

Anyone want to buy my Disco 3 (current daily ride)
