    diesel 89.9

    oil has continually held its position at 140 dollars a barrel now, expect 1.40 pounds at the pumps very soon. some pessimistic speculators are betting 200 dollars a barrel by the end of the year, the optimistic are saying 170 a barrel by the end of the year. whoever is right, we lose:mad:

    FAO Those who've painted theirs! (MOD peeps?)

    i used to paint landys for a living, and they are one of the easiest vehicles to paint, very straight forward, hardly any masking etc. you want to start by taking off all the bits like the front grill, headlamp surrounds things that can get covered in over spray and will save on masking tape and...

    Chassis Protection

    if you notice any signs of rot on the chassis, grind it off...get it to bare metal and bang primer and paint on the bare metal, rot is like cancer and no amount of dodgy products will stop it, cut it out or grind it off! get under the chassis with a pressure washer, blast all the **** off and...
