That sucks...... did you get details for insurance or did they do a runner?

I know the feeling though, my front bar's had so many scrapes and dings out of it, I finally decided to pull it off, sand + bog it and repaint it...... but it's gonna look like total SHITE. To top it off I ran out of paint this afternoon and the shop I use isn't open til Monday, so it looks like I'll be riding my bike to work for the first half of this week!

runner :geek:

maybe it was brizzyrocker :geek:

lol, it was a mistake man, comon now please i dont wana be known as the hit and guy run for the rest of my life :P

n john(yaface) what sorta damage are you lookin at?

col if the idea is small and touch i'm not going to be able to do anything like that HP.

But I'll see what touch screen shit is around and how small a case i can find...

*waits for touch jokes

Nah don't worry about touch shit i'm not goin to go out of my way to have a touch screen lol it was just something I spotted in the Harvey Norman catalogue.

@Dave that is a cool set up. I can always hook up the tower or my old laptop to my tv if the mood strikes.

@John: I don't think I will be able to make it this week :geek: Mum's birthday.

Will shit all over that HP, but no touch and it will take up a little more room. Although that is using the smallest case I could find. No keyboard or mouse in that shit either - do you need them?

You can shave a bit of cost off if necessary with either a smaller hard drive, windows home edition, or a less powerful video card.

that sounds pretty svveet Martin. Yeah I decided against the HP, just gunna save up a couple of months n then build one at least then I'll get everything I want.

Yeah its not a bad rig at all. If you want to be able to overclock it well but, you'll need to get more expensive ram and a CPU cooler. Factor another couple of hundred there. But really theres no need to overclock it, it'll be f**king fast OOTB.

    • 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.
