3d or 4d might need more heat?


I have been looking at the 3D stuff, don't know what the bloody difference is though, I'll have to order some at 3am when I cant sleep :lol: Where do you purchase the 2D stuff that'll do for the door cards. N

I got told it needs heating up to 90 degrees :shock:
Chris Wilkinson got his flocked which was like a suede affect, looked nice :-)

You'll probably be OK on door cards tho. :-)

I was thinking of just doing the bits around the (factory) radio place, dial surround and the bit where the head light switch is, as well as the door cards :P
flocking is nice, very rally car style not cheap though, I might look at that stretch carpet stuff the camper lads use to cover the rest of the dash :D
I saw some snake skin effect vinyl wrap but cant remember where I saw it. N

What about the water transfer/dipping? Loads of affects and there's a loads of places that do it now. My neighbour had some dash parts in his Porsche done and his bike wheels done in carbon effect

Or diy it

Now that's an idea :D I'll look into the dipping, if I remember correctly there's a place in Northwich that does it but the diy stuff looks a good option, now where's her bank card :lol: N

I was trying to find some pictures of my van when I bought it but cant find any so I lifted these from google images, not actually my van but that's how mine looked when I bought it,

Had a coolant leak from this metal pipe

Thought it was a pin hole until I sanded it down
IMG_20180303_130254.jpg

A bit of weld soon fixed it

Also found a split in my boost pipe

Duct taped up for now while I await a new one.
Also got the new oil catch can,

Just need to plumb it in now, shame its not blue but hey it'll do. N
