glrnet

Some of you will know that on Sunday Mrs glrnet drove the Zed into one of those poxy curbs in a car park Unfortunaley it took some chunks out of the front lip in both the silver (some would say gaffer tape ) and the blue areas. It's fair to say she was in tears (bless), I was remarkably calm and it's fair to say that alcohol may have played a part in my overall chilled persona Anyway, on Monday I decided to have a go at repairing the damage myself, I duly returned from Halfrauds with reams of wet and dry, primer, silver metallic paint (luckily I still had some B17 Azure Blue), Lacquer, Isopon P.40 fibre glass and P.38 filler. Well after 2 and half days of filling, sanding, masking, swearing, spraying, rubbing, more swearing, spraying and lacquering I'm quite pleased with the result. Perfect it is not but unless you look really closely it's hard to spot from a distance, I don't know how long it will last but at least it's presentable and for the cost of £47.00 and some graft it's probably saved me a couple of hundred quid. If it doesn't last too long then I'll buy some silver vinyl wrap from rtbiscuit Here's some pix.

Wow!! How old are you? My taste in music is different than the rest of the people in my age group... One summer i heard on a radio Gladys Knight and it changed my life. All the songs from 50's-70's and a few out of the 80's make my life complete. I stopped listening to the radio years and years ago because they plaid only disco crap

How we struggled to hear anything "off the wall", I can still remember lying in bed listening to Radio Luxembourg on a crystal set with about 3 miles of antenna!!!

They really were bloody good mate but the Salami was my absolute favourite At one point the guys were calling me the sausage king of Surrey
