sweet project, whats your time frame from now?

[lowlight]

No time frame, depends on funds

[karmakoma]

Seems at one stage or another we all have that problem with our projects.
Lets call it a fundframe. In what fundframe will your bus be done Could be next payday. next season, next year, next decade

[lowlight]

mine will be done on Saturday, not sure in wich year.

Start on the floor that I bought, take off some metal thats not needed. Need to get the big grinder out to do the rest.

[lowlight]

Took some more metal of the floor that I bought. I start to think it is easier to put new metal on than trying to use old metal. At this stage it is cutting and more cutiing to make things fit. Will get there slowly.

my heard goes out to you.....

but seriously, with your air compressor, you shouldnt be asking how much it will cost for someone else to sandblast.....

Wow this is a nice project.... At least urs is complete.. not like mine....

When I priced Sand blasting they quoted me about R1200 for the sandblasting and R700 to primer.. That was without seeing the van..
But this is a place in JHB..

Hmmm.. those sand blasting kits look interesting.. What else is need, beside compressor.. Where does the sand go into, etc...

I think you dunk the flexible hose into the sand and use the gun like a spray gun

[lowlight]

Kuven, was thinking along those lines, here they are between 3 and 5, closer to the 5 mark. Need a heap of grit and then a place were you can make a mess.

Tony, thought about it last nigt and will give it a shot, just the time factor, if get dirty then it must be worth while not just one hour at a time.

Ouch 5K to sand blast does sound very expensive..
