Hi, I'm new here, my wife and I have been blown away by your restoration, fantastic stuff! Looks like you are using a similar Mig to the one I just bought, I've been practising but can't get my settings right, it's a Sip 105Turbo, with .6 wire and argon/Co2 gas. Can you give me any tips on a good basic setting?

Thanks for the nice comments guys shaven I already had the rag top on it when i bought it. It came from http://www.parisbeetles.co.uk/ who will make them to any size.

Not much to show on the bus at the moment. been busy preping the bodywork for paint. Didnt realise that it would take so long to get flat :shock: anyway almost there should be spraying him up next week, cant wait

Now as smooth as a babys bum

[Rexer]

i agree with all the comments from others, i just wish i had the time to do this much my self, i opted for the easy option.... pay someone else to do it :lol: good on you man.

 

[Alfie]

Wow Thanks for the nice comments guys. Haven't updated for a while as I am still doing the final bits of prep before the paint goes on, this is taking ages because of the constant rain, nearly there though will update with pic's soon.

 

[Alfie]

Well I thought I would take full advantage of the nice weather were having today and do a bit more on the bus

Been busy of late just trying to get all the body work flat, this lead to a bit of an obsession on my part :roll: maybe I was being a bit too fussy about it all :shock:

Anyway it's about as flat as i'm ever gonna get it so today I put on a high build primer ready for the colour which I hope to get on tomorrow

 

[easy]

great work dude! keep it going now, nearly there 8)
