Mech Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'm going back to the states in 4 months or so, to pack up my tools so i can ship them. So while im in the states, I want to get everything i need, because they hardly have any thing here. And the stuff they do have, is like twice as expensive as in the states. i want to start learning how to do my own body work, and painting. So i would need things like: -body working tools, hammers, dent pullers, blocks, sand paper etc. -body fillers -paint gun, primers etc etc.. I have never bought bodywork/paint stuff. Are there stores that carry everything i need? Or does this stuff need to be ordered online? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mech Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) thanx for the link joe. BTW....you have waaaay too many SQ's :eek1bluegreen: :hmm3grin2orange: i see your looking for a RHD starion. How much is it worth it to you? Just curious. Maybe at some point in the future, if its possbile and not too expensive, i could export RHD starions from the UK, since im not far from there. Maybe it will never happen, maybe it will. Just a thought. Edited October 7, 2008 by Mech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mech Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 i havent started on a project yet. I was just asking because i thought i could get everything when i went to states, but i wasnt aware that companies like eastwood shipped overseas. But when i do start my project, im sure i will have plenty of questions You looking for something like this joe? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-MITSUBISHI-STAR...id=p3286.c0.m14 whats the big deal about owning a RHD? To each his own, but it seems like its nothing special. plus it would be a pain to drive, not being able to see around cars and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift1313 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 if you are serious about doing bodywork on your car dont use bondo. You want some lightweight filler. Rage and rage extreme are supposed to be good. I personally like the evercoat lightweight stuff. http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product...ProductID=16386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 R88 was a CONQUEST only color, and most countries only got Starions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-hanson Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 rage products are ok(too much money for the quality of it).... but the 3M line is WAY better for lightweight, and USC duraglass is the bomb for heavy glass fiber filler... keep in mind that youll be able to bring tools and sandpapers over, but i doubt the airport is gonna let you take any kind of body fillers on a passenger plane.. i really doubt that they will let you take primers and thinners on... most times keep in mind that body shops have 2 prices... one price to walk in customers, and another to businesses.. if you are getting high prices just call the nearest hot rod shop, explain your situation, and see if they could help ya out! josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
