DownhillGuru Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 I'm battling like hell with posting updates! It's either my connection speed or the site.  Very frustrating when you've spent 20mins typing and adding pics only to have the site hang on you as you try to update
DownhillGuru Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 I hope this blerrie works now.Ok so on tuesday evening I spent some time (in the kitchen now as it's frikkin' cold in the garage) using a dremmel type tool spinning a small wire brush. had to go gently to avoid the allu from becomming pitted.Â
Oertel Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Im sure we'll get the end result some time....this year.
DownhillGuru Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 9/10 attempts to update the post the site hangs on me!!!Is the hub dead slow the last few days of is it poor connection speed? I'm trying of 2 different PC's with seperate 3G connections.Â
Captain Slow Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Ya, the Hub is very slow today!! Must be the cold weather!! Seem's like you have done a great job!!Â

Didn't the steelwool take off all the paint or what?I'm very interested...about to start a similar process
DownhillGuru Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 Sorry I'm adding in small doses. It' the only way I can get the posts uploaded.  Sammajoor, you will see the outcome as soon as it's finished boet.Will probably take another 2 weeks. I know you're all used to looking at 'before and after Pics'. K so my fingers have been too raw to continue sanding the frameso I've spent some time working on the new decal artwork instead.Hope you like...  Don't ask about the carrot!!!

I wore my thumb nails right down trying to get into the grooves around the welds with the wool. Even now I'm coming across feint paint marks which I'm working awaywith a fine grit water paper. (Edited to fix my bad spelling)!   DownhillGuru2009-07-03 04:10:34
BrendonMyb Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 i can vouch ( spelling ???? ) for that, sanding down sux. even more tedious with fine grit water paper. good luck !!! Also cant wait to see your project done - I love doing these typa things
