In the time I've had it, I've never had spitting or moisture when I'm painting. Even in our really humid summers

@DC871F I have a 50 gallon Ingersol rand outside my shop. So cold air in the winter, not so much in the summer. It comes through the wall and goes into about three loops of 3/4" copper line. Then it hits a pressure regulator and a water separator. The water trap has a drain plumbed through the wall that I can blow down Then it travels across the shop about 30' and hits my three stage filter dryer. It's a nice unit with desiccant beads but it has gotten kind of pricey in the last few years. I only use this air source for painting and it stays shut off otherwise. When the beads turn pink, I bake them in the oven on about 200F until they're dark blue again At some point I might rework the loop to be up near the ceiling and horizontal so the loops don't hold water that way. I could also do like you did and use a condenser as a cooler. Maybe, in my spare time 😉 Hope this helps

I did this on classic beetle a couple of years ago. I bought some unjacketed steel cable. Just left the end frayed. I used brake cleaner and a drill, like you did. Glad you got it. That homemade amber can be really hard to deal with sometimes

Wish I could sometimes! Me, myself and I are the only three working on this thing 😉 As a note, I jambed out the car with single stage but after ruminating on it for a while decided it would be easier to finish paint if I included portions of the hatch area and door jambs in my final paint. It makes it easier to tape up and not have a noticeable start / stop point

So brought the car inside and cleaned it up. Used some Ospho on it. Then a couple of days later I sanded it all with 320 on a DA. So I realized that I might get some over spray on the headliner, which I installed while it was on the rotisserie. Then got it wrapped up So all wrapped up and was going to spray some epoxy but the idiot running the shop forgot to check if we had some!!

Yes, pull the correct one off the old engine

Do you not have the thermostat housing with sufficient holes?

You need to pull the slack to the rear

Have you taken the hand brake hardware loose yet up by the shifter? That should allow you to feed cable out towards the wheels. decompressing the spring

It can be difficult to get the pump to prime especially by hand. the internal valves will sometimes get stuck from dried gasoline in them

Im not following Pics might help

@Av8ferg I do not have a suitable lower valence corner. I thought I had two but the only one I could locate was pretty rusty along the edge Charles

Looks like a great area to blast about. Be mindful of the salt air if you're very close to the channel. It is really hard on these cars

Nice looking car!

Quite the accomplishment!

If you went from 4 turns to 3.5 turns, you made it leaner!

My first question is what year is your car? Signature line would be helpful My second is they are later fenders with the brackets for fender liners

Evidently that number wasn't Obvious to the rest of us 😉

I have jad to do similar with an O2 sensor socket. Even the goods ones flex enough to strip the sensor. Put a hose clamp around the end and no more flexing

I would think that's a million dollar+ car. Dangerous to do a no reserve auction on that car unless you need to fire sale it IMO

A heat gun might help

I will look around this weekend PS: 6 hours is alot of time for that dent...

Ferg, Post up a picture of the piece you need. I may have one but want to look at it to be sure C

I really prefer the JDM tail lights over the North American ones. Just another example of how our government can take a good idea and muck it up...

Glad that worked! Why can't the switch be threaded in some for the time being?
