My 'bus is getter better!

As well as rebuilding the heads, the van has started to be painted

[MrMPuk]

That arch still looks a little rough, hope your not rushing it for the Ford fair!

I know that arch looks abit rough, I'm really dissapointed about it Hoping that it may improve with another coat on it, and once the metalflake is on, it should draw the attension away from it. Only thing thats stopping me from finishing it, is, my compressor, the part where the airline connects has broken clean off!

[MrMPuk]

Trouble is with metalic any defects show up 10 times worse, that probably didn't look to bad till you painted it.

[24vMk2]

Yup, got it in one!

Maybe next time, when I get bored and change the colour sceme .

I'm no body work person, done a few small jobs, this is the biggest to date, but, I'm happy with it in the whole, never thought it would come out perfect, the shine it has already, I'm chuffed about, it's not even laquered yet.

[MrMPuk]

It does look the mutts, can't wait for the finished colour.

Thanks MrMPuk, I can't either, spend 2 hours today trying get another compressor

Be doing the black bits next, around the windows, after the roof! Thats the bit I'm not looking forward too.

Apparently doing two thirds from one side and the rest from the other is the favourite course of action, and using a gravity fed gun if you have one!

Looking good

looking well mate and coming on fast - unlike mine

[MrMPuk]

Can you not fix the compressor?

Can you not fix the compressor?

I don't think so

Was new in May this year, only the second time it has been used, the seller reckons I have dropped it, which I haven't.

Started hissing, went over to see what was wrong, the airline blew off, almost hitting me!

[MrMPuk]

Not to much of a problem, you should be able to buy a new manifold for it. If it wasn't for the fact the regulator was part of it you could have just used pipe fittings.

If you dont need the twin outlets then just buy yourself a new single point outlet, swap the regulators and pressure gauges, even the twin ones are not expensive

Put the pressure switch on one side and the outlet on the other??



Or Put a proper 'old school' one like this on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Compressor-Gate-V ... dZViewItem







What make is the compressor?

Neither of them would be much good, you'd still have to mess about with fittings so you can connect the pressure switch. Like 100ps says machine mart should be able to help.
