what guides do people want?

[mirrorblanks]

spoke to a moderator earlier and i'm going to put together some bodywork/painting/interior guides to help everyone out, i can do pretty much all types of smoothing/custom bodywork and painting and some interior work

just wondering what guides people would like me to do?

the guides will have lots of pictures and i'll guide everyone through processes including links for where to buy materials etc

so what guides?


also i'd need panels to do these processes on for the guides, so maybe a good way for some people to get some stuff done for free/small charge

[frankie]

a very popular one would be foglight smoothing.

and possibly a fibreglassing one in genral!

[mirrorblanks]

foglight smoothing isn't a problem, doing a bumper with smoothed fogs 2moro so can do that then

also theres a few different processes for fibreglassing so would need to hear what people would want doing

[frankie]

well, people are always asking how to do fog lights.

maybe with fibreglassing, just a few different techniques, and do and donts sort of thing.

[mirrorblanks]

ye i can do fibreglassing ones

[saxo_furio17]

gloss black bumpers

[mirrorblanks]

gloss black bumpers


you mean the bumpstrips?

[wingnuts]

some interior smoothing or painting guides maybe

[mirrorblanks]

some interior smoothing or painting guides maybe


ye no problem, but what interior smoothing? lol

only problem with me doing painting guides is i do everything by gun, but i spose the prep work is the same wether done with can or gun

[saxo_furio17]

yer i put strips the delited it i dont know why

[mirrorblanks]

yer i put strips the delited it i dont know why

ye i will do, but i'll have to have a volenteer for quite alot of these, don't have the spare cash at minute to just go buying bumpers to do this with

[saxo_furio17]

i'll more than happily volenteer :D

[mirrorblanks]

your miles away though mate

[saxo_furio17]

how long does it take

[mirrorblanks]

full day or 2, have to do these around work

[sammyd]

i need a guide on how to wire a clifford falcon 2 alarm in and what wires are what

[saxo_furio17]

[mirrorblanks]

sorry don't do alarms

[mirrorblanks]

to do the job i mean not the drive :D

ye that what i've said above, about a full day or 2, i have to do it around work

[saxo_furio17]

i could just come up and make a day out of it lol

[saxo_furio17]

and if i sanded it down before i came up

[mirrorblanks]

tbh, i'd prefer not to rush it, would need for atleast 2 days

[mirrorblanks]

and if i sanded it down before i came up


no sorry, i'm doing guides here so would do all the prep and take pics to show people what to do, also i don't mean to offend when i say this but i just don't trust anyone but myself when it comes to prep work, when i've done it i know i've done it right

[Odsy]

the bumpstrip and smoothed fog suggestions are good ones, fibreglassing a bootbuild would also be of help im guessing.

[mirrorblanks]

ye was thinking a fibreglass boot build because theres a few ways of doing them, so maybe do a few and then sell them, can also show how to paint them and trim them

keep the ideas coming

[laberridge]

how about custom door pods and molding for the front door cards?

[mirrorblanks]

[charlie7543]

[Craigvts25]

While your doing the smoothed fogs you could remove the bottom grill too to make it an open grill. I'd volenteer for the whole front bumper doing? Smoothed fogs and wide mouth grill. Its not a probelm dropping the car off in liverpool. How much do you reckon paints would be? :y:

[boarer2004]

I can give you a whole car which you can play around with how much in paint costs are we thinking and where you located

depends what you want doing

location is stated under my avator on the left

[lyndon]

I think a general plastic welding guide and filling etc for things like boot lips etc, Lots of people trying it and they don't know what they're doing :p

Also I'm thinking of putting a couple of gauges into the centre console where the vent was or the drivers side air vent, A guide for that would be good :)

I'm in Wakefield if you need a volunteer, can probably come across

[mirrorblanks]

plastic welding and filling will be part of bumper smoothing guides

[Joe]

I think making a widemouth or cutting the virtical slats out and another on
smoothing different bits of the boot.

[Sandy869]

How about a debadging the boot guide? Everyone seems to want to do that lol? Including me! Although you might be able to cover aspects of this with the front bumper your doing?

How about removing the aerial and filling the hole?

[boarer2004]

depends what you want doing

[chunkyblader]

a simple hot to remove the body kit and plastic trim peices on a vtr. alot of people want to replace the black plastice with a more gloss like paint finish. a simple how to like that would help alot of people out. it seems like an easy job but can be tough for some people like me lol.

Your a bit late mate, think his account got blocked lol

[saxo_singh]

Yup he got blocked a few weeks ago for being an arsehole me thinks lol

[kc-saxo]

you guys did know that he was Paul Woodward right ?

[saxo_singh]

i have no idea who he was, just seen the thread about him in the general chat section few weeks ago.

[ReCoNoR]

Who the fucks Paul Woodward?

[kc-saxo]

The biggest scammer ever

im surprised the mods never clocked on who he was

[ReCoNoR]

You got a link to read? Not that i dont beleive you, i'd just like to read up on this person.

[laberridge]

i know he scammed a few people but how can he scam people for by making how to guides? lol

EDIT - i guess people can trust him more?

[laberridge]

Paul Woodward in other words is nick hewitt, he used many names to hide his identity, but he has now been taken to court for all the offesnces he has commited

[kc-saxo]

im sure nik hewitt was a different guy
as paul woodwards real name is paul sadler or something.

and hardly a few people, he took over £1000 from the escort owners forum
