Racing usually starts at 11 but this week may be 10 as gates open at 9am.

I will be calling them up today to confirm all is on track and to re-check these kind of details.

Daz I will be the one [and hopefully only] in a Black 34 with White wheelz :)

That must have been the day I was there too slayer - I just started to get into 1/2 respectable times and then the bloody rain started just as I was about 2 cars off my next run - d'oh.

James: that CANT be YOUR niva, surely? Its way too clean :P

Hopefully its not busy like last time either. Last time we went up the Ford club was there, so it was all kinda busy, then it rained. Its sounding busy, which i don't like the sound of.

If all is good, tomorrow should heat some of the wetness out of the track, and Sunday should be a cracker!

We need a meet point...

Dale: Hahaha - yeah. It was serviced on Wednesday and they washed it. Bastards. I forgot how red it is.

My brother is taking it to Buller on Saturday - so It'll be nice and dirty for Sunday :P

I don't mind meeting up at the Ford factory......

Weather for sunday is still expected to be Fine (20C)...

NismoR34 when you ring up Heathcote maybe ask if thir aware of any other clubs/groups going up as I'd hate to travel all that way only to see 50+ other cars lining up...

    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
