Sorry double post

I was going to PM you but I don't have enough posts,
I work as a shift electrical fitter, I started in 2009. Originally I did my apprenticeship at corus (rotherham) then I applied for the CCGT, I didn't get in there but was offered a place at Cottam instead,

It would be great to see some photos of your 245,

So on my way home today I got a couple of cracking photo,

Great sunset. What sort of car is that in the photos?

Seriously, your 244 looks mysteriously understatedly very important in those photos. Kushtie.

Thanks, I was chuffed with how they turned out, considering it was a spur of the moment sort of picture!

Today I've got the wheels off,

I'm going to get the wheels blasted and painted, so currently it's sat in the garage on bricks

£5 later

To the powder coaters tomorrow,

Tramp · Oct 16th, 2014, 20:52

Well I got the wheels back from the powder coaters today, Unfortunatly they couldn't powder coat the wheels for me, instead they just blasted them,

I picked them up and took them about 500meters down the road to a garage who are going to paint them for me, it should take around a week. They had x2 choice of silvers, metal flake or brilliant. As much as I wanted metal flake, I'm sure it would be too chavtastic for my old bus, so brilliant silver it is,

So far.... It's been £5 to remove the tyres (from all x4 tyres) £15 per rim blasting, £35 per rim painting and then I'll have my tyres refitted and balanced (I think it will be around £20 for the set)

Hopefully they will look great, they did blast up really well!
