I'm ready to put the pedal boxes back in the bulkhead but the old seals are scrap, does anyone have a cheaper fix than the costly replacements?

That's incredible finish you achieve with the conditions that you are spraying in, I'm jealous as hell. I on the other hand can produce lovely runs consistently which I'm learning to accept as giving it some character. Well done and love the colour.

I didn't get a lot done this weekend with having to do the timing belt on my car on Saturday and then working until lunchtime today, all I got done was put the bulkhead on which to much relief fitted a treat.

Cheers and thanks for the help

Its testing my patience at present but I can see the end soon, I was going to go the route of replacing the footwells but they look flimsy so I made a a jig to fold my own and made them out of 3mm steel. It was a lot of work but enjoyable also and I'm pretty happy with the end result.

Any of the experts out there could advise how to find paint code or know what this grey is???

Finally got the bulkhead welded and all welds ground and primed, what a pain in the ass of job it turned out to be! Just the finish coat to go on and get the bloody thing back on and move on to something else.

I got a tenner for my scrap chassis a few months ago and that was after spending a few months welding on around half its weight in new steel. Probably cost more to take to the scrapyard lol.

Thanks aaromorris for your help.

Lol, no panic on it. Hopefully spraying the bulkhead at the weekend and just want see if its near enough before I do finish coat.

That would be great, thank you I really appreciate it

Thanks for trying guys, I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Julianf sorry for jumping in on your thread.

Hi, can any of you guys help me out with the distance between the bolt holes on a bulkhead ? I've posted on the site but no replies as of yet, its a 1991 200tdi oh and a 90.

Hi, I'm working on my bulkhead at the moment and want to check the footwells haven't moved. It was rotten when I took it off and I'm unsure if its moved whilst welding, can any off the experienced out there help out with the distance between the outrigger bolt holes please. Its a1991 200tdi.

I would say thats the problem, even a 50lt 3h twin cylinder would struggle with a nut gun. Unless you have a need and room for 150/200lt 3h then consider a battery version. The upside to battery is no hoses to trail about and freedom to bring it anywhere you go.

The Milwaukee is a decent gun but theres a few new ones out on the market that leave it for dust, if you can call to your local dewalt dealer and check out Dewalt dcf899 its a beast of a machine and not that expensive.

I'm an employee only not trying to promote business at all. Do enough of that 8.30-5.30, I have a fair knowledge across the board and if it can helpful to anyone then i can give a little back to the forum. The last thing I want to do is to cross any boundaries and offend anyone, any input on...

Hi, I work in a power tool shop and supply compressors and nutt guns to trade. What size tank is on yours ?. That set up is old school now due to how much battery power has progressed, we recommend a min 150 Lt tank and three horse for nutt spinners and a gun rated to 650nm to take wheel nuts...

Awesome pics, would love to be out playing in mine:(

Thanks Dan, I've really enjoyed it so far.
