Lord Ferguson Posted April 22, 2006 Share Posted April 22, 2006 Yes good luck Mart... Ben and I had a look for TE mudguards today - but the stall never had any - everything else... but no TE ones - typical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewHolland2 Posted April 22, 2006 Author Share Posted April 22, 2006 yeah good luck mart,hopefully it will be the one of your dreams Thanks Sean...... Yes good luck Mart... Ben and I had a look for TE mudguards today - but the stall never had any - everything else... but no TE ones - typical Thanks Marky (and Ben), not to worry, once I've got the 3600 I'll be able to concentrate on putting funds to the mud-guard which shouldn't take too long......Old20 do them for about ?70 each......Which is expensive, but will make it look a lot better......

NewHolland2 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Meant to up-date this last week-end:- Seat now finished with top coat of Grey and both back wheels are now finished as well...... Just the front axle to do and one radius rod and then wiring in the final touches (lights and gauges) and attaching my new name plates...... ......Not forgetting the elusive mud-guard......

nashmach Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Mart what are you going to do about the roughness on the front above the grilles and the big hole where all the rust is on the mudguard?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's certainly getting there and after the axle's done there will be a big difference...... Mart what are you going to do about the roughness on the front above the grilles and the big hole where all the rust is on the mudguard?? The area above the grilles is about to be angle grinded tomorrow to get the remains of the old P38 off and then I will apply new (much smoother) P38 to fill in the wee holes. For now the hole in the mud-guard will be left but will be fixed in the near future...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 have you done any on the roughness on the top of the front pannel mart? seems a shame not to try and blend that out if you can,will look supreb anyway when shes done.how did you get on with the petrol tank? i did see a patching kit the other day for things like that ,but didn't think to take the name of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see the stuff you mentioned again mate, could you check the name please...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 yeah will do mate,didn't give it a second thought as i went buy it,,just noticed it ,was a sort of patch sticky thing ,in a set with a hardener i think, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewHolland2 Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Done a fair bit of work today...... Added another coat of P38 and then sanded that down and prepared the front of the bonnet for painting. Also due to the axle problem and the fact there sia bout 6-8 weeks before it is needed for work, I have decided not to strip down the axles to do the painting, so instead I have painted as much of them with their first coat of Grey without removing anything...... I think next weekend I MAY get the radiator off to get a better look at the axles...... Pics to follow later......You WILL notice a huge difference in how she looks......
