Phil S1 Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 It's all starting to come together now Have you re-tiled your floor Leigh? I thought it used to have a 'chequered' finish?
Dr H Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 It is starting to get real now as LB as asking for lots of cash Floor used to be black plastic interlocking tiles. They were OK but couldn't really handle to OH's car coming n an out every day. They started to shift and they also expanded like made in the hot weather causing lifting etc. Got it tiled in the end - should have done it from the start. I've told the OH she should clean up the mess as it's caused by her car. You can imagine what response I got.......
Dr H Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 Alex, no, because I bought them before he'd finished his place. When I told him he said I should have waited as he had a full pallet of them left over!
KurtB Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 This is VERY exciting now! More, more, more, more..... Alex, no, because I bought them before he'd finished his place. When I told him he said I should have waited as he had a full pallet of them left over! Does he still have them?!?
Dr H Posted January 21, 2016 Author Posted January 21, 2016 This is VERY exciting now! More, more, more, more..... Does he still have them?!? Off to the powder coaters in Nottingham tomorrow morning. They have the chassis and I need to choose a colour. Craig at LB (and Dan Webster as well as it happens) say black is not a great colour as you don't get enough definition and contrast against the engine. He's suggedted an anthracite colour which they have decided to offer as an option. Dunno about the tiles Kurt. I'm gaking the S2 over on Tues next week so will ask if you like.
Alex B Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Kurt has got the same idea as me! Yeah he does till have a load stacked at the back of the garage.
Dr H Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 So who do you decide who gets to ask for them - pistols at dawn?
danwebster Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 I need to choose a colour. Craig at LB (and Dan Webster as well as it happens) say black is not a great colour I actually said do it ANY colour BUT black Very much looking forward to seeing it whatever colour it is mind you!
Dr H Posted January 22, 2016 Author Posted January 22, 2016 I actually said do it ANY colour BUT black Very much looking forward to seeing it whatever colour it is mind you! Probably anthracite. Going over at lunch time.
