thanks but im busy next few weekends.
work this weekend, camping in walpole following week then work next weekend
Man I love Walpole. Mum n dad's friends own the caravan park on the inlet. Funny Walpole stories. Me and my mate Jim rented a old van down there when I was 19, he's about 6'8" and 140kgs below zero temps. the whole bed on his end of the van collapsed snapped and dropped him on the floor outside he went crook and went to sleep in the landy with the engine on and heater running. I had beanie 2 t-shirt 2 jumpers 2 track pants 2 socks sleeping bag and sheets off all the beds. Wind was blowing in the hole like a hurricane and I nearly froze to death. Last time we went for Christmas. Took the gravel track down to the small rocky beach off the inlet. Family got out the car and charged to the beach. I opened the drivers side door got out and looked down at the massive f**king snake that reared it's head up and trapped me between it and the car. Just stood still for ages till it settled down then f**king bolted. Dad and I weren't catching much so took the dingy all the way out the inlet into the ocean. The outboard shit itself and we had to row the whole way back took hours, arms were burning for days. Have fun Trev. Still one of the best spots in w.a

+1 on beer after welding in this weather, nothin industrial like you bit still 2mm plates to 0.6 body steel.....

Did you mig or tig it? Butt weld with backing?

The plates come as direct fit so all we gotta do is clean and weld. Been running a small bead on the 0.6 first then turning the mig up to get a nice weld between the bead and the 2mm plate. Hot work inside the cars and u have to be careful u dont set fire to them lol

I'd be taking it back to the painter,  you payed good money to have the car painted properly. Maybe take the car to other paint shops and ask their opinion on what the cause would be (in their experience) before you go back, so that you have an understanding.  

I wouldn't accept anything but perfection, if that's what you were paying for.

    • Nah, shouldn't have made any difference. Reds on, or car running, should be same same for what you were doing.

    • I've owned a few scooters over the years, a Vespa PX oil burner was my first scooter, followed by a few others, including a little 50cc BeeWee that I used as a barracks bike, and I've had a blast on all of them, they really are the cheapest for of city/suburb transport around The only issue with scooters in Australia is lots of people look down on them due to their size,  maybe they need a big bike to make up for something else where they are lacking, unlike Europe and Asia where every man an their dog owns one, and now that filtering is legal in NSW, local traffic is never a issue Not to say I haven't owned my share of big cc bikes over the years, but they were for more blasting through the hills or Hwy riding where it needed to sit on Hwy speeds Safety wise, I ride like everyone is always trying to kill me, everyone is running a red, or running stop/give way signs, or generally asleep at the wheel, which most people are duringtheir commute, I also ride really safe, and give myself, and everyone else enough room in case I need to pull some hasty evasive actions, I've done a few rider training days over the years, which has come in handy on more than a few occasions  As for mods, there's nothing really, and yes your right about aftermarket exhaust, all you get is loud and obnoxious noises from them, like every 250-300 cc you hear with a aftermarket muffler, in saying this I did put a rear muffler from a 125 Aprilla on one of my old 125 scooters, it was horrendous and no amount of full face helmet and ear plugs would dampen that noise As for coming from the Harley, and what a overpriced POS that was, I no longer do big rides as my poor old busted joints ache after about 1/2 an hour of riding, long cruises are so much more enjoyable now in a car, so a big bike would be pointless
