    Thanks! Thats true. will try that path before considering a fabrication.
    The condition of my bumpers;

    Well the bumpers are worse than I thought.Yet even these are salvageable but since you're going for a concourse finish better bring a pair down or fabricate.The over-riders can be cast locally.

    Just to add;

    The engine and the gearbox are currently going through a complete rebuild. Does anyone know of a good place to fabricate bumpers in stainless steel or copper? The steel bumpers of the car are not in the best of conditions

    What's wrong with the original buffers?They seem fine to me judging by the pictures.If there are rust spots get the tinker patch them up with copper welding and smooth out dips and dents using small hammer and file...Then have it rechromed.

    The cost of locally fabricating will most definitely exceed the cost of having a reproduction buffer brought down.And as CW said it'll be heavier too.

    If you're still intent on having them done locally send me a PM I have a couple of contacts.

    Help - Clear Coat Question

    in General

    Posted

    Always apply clear coat seperately.I've heard some makabaases mix clear and base coats together but that is utter nonsense and defeats the purpose of the clear coat altogether.There is a obsolete trick where people add a little bit of the base colour to the last clear coat layer to get a certain look but that could go horribly and wrong and should be left to the most seasoned auto painters.

    1300 Cc

    in General

    Hi guys,

    How is the 1300 cc engine sedan car which has auto gear shift. specially i am concern about the mazda BJ3P model. does it have pulling issues in hills with four people. please give your ideas on this.

    thanks,

    I don't know anything about that particular car but If you frequently drive on mountain roads or do long trips with passengers and a autobox is a must,I suggest you go for a higher capacity engine or a turbo diesel.

    I've done my fair share of long trips in 90s,early 2000s auto transmission cars with 1500cc or less and it was hell on earth for me.With passengers and luggage onboard overtaking was almost impossible and this one time an FB15 struggled to go up the road to N'eliya even with the AC off.

    But that's just what I've experienced with my driving style so they may suite yours just fine.

    Bmw Accident At Horton Place/wijerama

    What's up with BMW owners these days?Just in the last month one douchebag in a 5 series banged in to my rear and tried to put the blame on me.

    Most of them drive like morons and park like assholes.Honestly I'd rather be a lane hogging Prius driver than be a self-entitled dickbag BMW driver with their oversized-sunglass-wearing loud mouth wifes and their spoiled kids.
