If you really want to learn how to do it properly i would find a Tafe that is still doing night classes. When i was at North Sydney Tafe doing my panel beating apprenticeship they were running restoration classes at night, it was cheap and you could even bring in your own car and work on it with all...

Re: need tips.

The best advise i can give is to take your time with every part of the job! If you spent extra time making your patch it will be easier to weld and if its easier to weld it is easier to grind your welds (take it slow so you dont heat and warp the panel and dont grind to much off or you will make the...

Re: Respraying a Sigma

a good painter will get as good a job if not better with 2 pac as anyone can with acrylic and it will last alot longer and be easier to maintain.
the amount of peel you get depends on a range of things from thinning ratios to heat and air pressure.

Re: bumpers

from what i can la and lb front end is the same so you should not need to change any panels just swap the bars and indicators.
still looking for a reasonable la rear bar so i can try it on, if anyone has one they are selling please let me know.

Re: bumpers

Re: la lancer brake upgrades?

i have already talked to an engineer and he want the rotors about 280mm.
do the sigma rear discs bolt up to the lancer diff or do you need to do some mods to the diff or brakes?
and how big are they?
thanks for such a fast reply dan

Re: Project 71

if you cannot spray the back of the panel after it is welded you can buy zinc rich primer that will not burn if you dont heat it up to much. try a local paint or welding shop if not make the patches and take them to a panel shop.
