Many religious wars have been fought over rust products. I've used POR-15 in the past. With careful prep and use it's excellent - but unpleasant to use and expensive. I've since converted to Bilt Hamber which I find more reasonably priced and works just as well. I don't really rate Hammerite.

Deox for rust removal
Hydrate 80 for protection
Electrox is a high zinc primer (good for galvanised bits)
I haven't tried the UB wax but it looks exactly like the sort of stuff I'd like to spray under my cars once I've finished fixing them!
Well the later P38s had battery backed sounders, quite possibly from BMW so it sounds like a good one to try!
That's an epic tale 😁
Do you have a sunroof? That adds to the fun...
We've already done the headliners. We had a little production line going over a couple days. I did some sticking down but was mainly the guy cutting the excess from round the boards 😁
Disassembly, scraping, stick and trim, installation, reassembly 😁
Welcome to the madness :)
And yes, I'm sure you'll be posting soon! There are no stupid questions, especially compared to some of mine....
Good luck!
I based the 3-4 months above on the price I paid Simon for a full install with a 4 hole tank. Ask him how many p38s he has done 😁
Holy carp - you need to get that sorted out! It'll pay for itself in 3-4 months.
I don't think there's any good news if it's the DSP system. You can't even replace it with an aftermarket head unit very easily. MartyUK is looking at a DSP replacement kit but I don't know if he has done many/any for sale yet.
The first picture makes it look like the poor thing has just been abandoned after a ram raid!
Sorry - I'm out. We've got a triathlon event at work. I'm not taking part (hell no!) but I'll need to be onsite to support the tills etc.
:(
I have the valves courtesy of BPSM. I don't have T pieces, if I get into that situation I'll just pull the four lines from the block and pump up the bags by airline. Here's hoping I don't ever need to find out how that works :)
There's nothing wrong with the looks either way :) If I was getting some full off-road or winter tyres I'd get 16s but I know I wouldn't get enough use out of them.
Sounds like an ideal sort of job to do on summer camp. Ahem :)
Have you got a fully charged battery? :)
Well they sound like people who know what they're wailing about...
Don't feel too sorry - he should know better :)
Nano is the dogs - mine has paid for itself and I've barely used it compared with the experts.
18s are fine for road use, 255/55 isn't exactly low profile. Off road I'd be tempted by 16s.
I will say that the P38 seems quite sensitive to tyre pressure and the book settings are a bit high at the rear.
You should google the matching pair of shotguns :)
Welcome and good luck! :)
