spraying my lil 806

[Harlequin]

finally got round to start the repairs

changing wings / bumper nd spraying them and sorting the rust...







and replaced 2 tyres and tracked up as well - who would have thought pot holes can throw it out that badly

spraying isnt finished - thanks to the 3rd can being a different shade to the other 2 , i know need to blow it over - again

Excellent work

I don't think I could ever attempt bodywork, spraying paint certainy takes skills I dont have

Potholes seem the main cause for misaligned wheels, usually it causes toe out but it looks like you might have had toe in on the front there.

today - but run out of paint so bexhill over the weekend (or brighton) to get some more

edit:

hopefully this works - an idea of what it was like before

I have to spray our 806 hopefully this summer as well. It's taken a beating from Mrs DNJ over the last few years. It's metallic silver though so won't be easy.
I got a 2hp compressor (with 50 litre tank) for £30 off of a friend which needed a repair (now done) and I bought a small touch up spray gun, as it's only a 2hp compressor.

I would quite like to put side steps on it to protect the sides a bit and make it easier to put stuff on the roof rack but no one seems to make them.

Fortunately there is no rust on it at all, just dents.

that rear strip above was bashed thatnks to a landrover - i was tempted to do the same thing - but , if i do an `amazing` job on the wings , then i`ll want to blow over the entire lot.....

[Harlequin]

will have another `go` when the weather dries up for the rear arch






happy withe wings though - still waiting for the new grill to be delivered.....

I'd wetsand the wing using 2000 grit, then polish and it'll shine like new

[Harlequin]

and yes i know theres a huge run on the bumper - next on the list after grill/indicator

When I first saw the title, I honestly thought it was about putting nitrous oxide onto an 806.

Disappointed!

job done! - will get some pictures up of the finished - but need to move the wing as the ******** grill isnt lineing up properly
