Aircooled VW South Africa

HOWDY.

AS PER USUAL, THIS POST IS A BIT OUT THERE.......

ALL OF MY PANELBEATING GEAR HAS BEEN STOLEN BY AN EX EMPLOYEE. I AM SCOURING GUMTREE TO REPLACE IT AS I HAVE NO INSURANCE BUT I DO WANT TO CARRY ON WITH SMALL REPAIRS AND OF COURSE MY PROJECTS.
AT THE MOMENT I HAVE 2 POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITIES OF PURCHASING SPRAY GUNS, BOTH IN THE CAPE, BUT WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO DO THE DEAL FOR ME THERE AS THEY ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE AND I DON'T WANT TO RISK PUTTING MONEY INTO A STRANGER'S ACCOUNT AND THEN NOT RECEIVING MY ITEMS.
ONE OF THE GUNS IS IN DELFT AND THE OTHER IS IN THE STRAND.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT COULD ASSIST ME WITH THIS?

REGARDS

MARK (& Cyndi)

Mark what did you loose is there anything I can help with from Pretoorsdorp with some other stuff. Let me know.

HOWDY FREDDIE.

THANKS FOR THE OFFER.
WELL WE WERE CLEANED OUT, SO EVERYTHING INCLUDING THE BIG STUFF LIKE THE CHASSIS STRAIGHTENER AND LARGE TROLLEY JACK.
THEY MUST HAVE COME WITH A TRUCK (OBVIOUSLY AFTER HOURS). WE HAVE HEARD THAT THE GUY HAS OPENED A BACKYARD SHOP SOMEWHERE IN TOWN SO WE ARE TRYING TO FIND OUT WHERE AND WILL THEN DO A POLICE RAID BUT RIGHT NOW I NEED STUFF TO CARRY ON.
I HAVE BEEN FIXING UP A BEETLE FOR ANOTHER MUSO FRIEND OF OURS WHO WAS HIT BY A TRUCK. 2 WEEKS IT'S TAKEN BUT I SHOULD HAVE IT OUT TOMORROW.
THE ISSUE IS I'M USING AN UNDERPOWERED COMPRESSOR AND CHEAP CHINESE GUN WHICH DOESN'T MAKE IT EASY SO I'M LOOKING FOR A DEVILBISS FINISHING GUN, EITHER A GTI OR GTI PRO. THE CHINESE GUN IS ADEQUATE FOR PRIMER UNTIL I CAN ALSO GET A PROPER PRIMER GUN. THESE THINGS ARE NOT CHEAP. A GTI PRO RUNS AT ABOUT R7500.
I'M ALSO AFTER A SET OF 6M AFROX OXYACETELENE 8MM HOSES. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE GUAGES AND TORCH. FORTUNATELY I HAD A SPARE SET OF BOTTLES LOCKED UP. I HAVE PUT A TROLLEY WITH A TOOLBOX TOGETHER AND WILL GET IT GALVANISED AS SOON AS I CAN.
I HAVE BOUGHT A SET OF PANEL BEATING HAMMERS AND DOLLIES AND HAVE A MUCH SMALLER TROLLY JACK THAT WILL WORK FOR NOW.

I DID GO TO AN AUCTION WEDNESDAY TO TRY AND GET A COMPRESSOR BUT BELIEVE IT OR NOT THEY ALL SOLD FOR MORE THAN I COULD GET THEM BRAND NEW? SOME PEOPLE HAVE MORE MONEY THAN BRAINS.

ANYWAY; I DIDN'T GET ANY OFFERS OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE CAPETOWN GUYS SO I'LL JUST KEEP LOOKING AND HOPEFULLY FIND SOMETHING AFFORDABLE CLOSER TO HOME.

STAY IN TOUCH. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE OFFER FREDDIE.

*PS. GUNS IN CPT ALREADY GONE.
