and has some spare time, and a garage...
As some of you know, I am now the owner of a Mitsubishi Delica. Having passed his first service with only a few comments on whether I'd actually paid for it, it's time to lavish some money on it. It's off to be converted into a camper in a week's time and will be getting a proper clean and some nice new suspension components in good time. Anyway, it looks like this:
Not too bad (if you like 80s vans), but the front bumper / valance is rusty, there's a dent in the sliding door and the colours are generally faded and weird. I would like the rust removed, filled and primed and possibly the door either un-dented or filled.
Once that's done, I'd like it repainted, probably white. My journeys through the internet tell me that the cheapest way do this involves (a lot of) sanding, a roller and a few pots of something called Rustoleum. I am told this is easy, cheap and delivers amazing results (considering)
Sadly, I am lazy and do not have a garage (or drive, or even a street outside my flat) so this kind of job is beyond me. I know we have a few tinkerers here and wondered it anyone would like to earn a few quid sorting it out for me.
I'm not expecting concourse (at all), but I would expect the rust to be sorted properly, not just overpainted. Could be a project for someone who wants to look into it on their truck and would liked to be paid for trying it out on someone else's.
No massive rush, you could have two to three months to do it. Distance from London not a big deal if you give me a lift to the station.
Any takers?
