Shawn:
I have had good luck restoring plastic bits with JB weld.
It may take a few applications to build up larger bits, but when cured
it seems to hold up well.
The texture may be an issue in some cases, but I have been able to
convert to a wrinkle finish with good results.

By your signature lines I think we have caught the same virus!!
I would like to build a KR2S.
Most of my flight training has been in 150's and 152's with the
remainder in a Tomahawk.
I have several turbo Dodges.
We have a PT turbo.
My wifes name is Sherry.
What are the specs on your VW engine?
Pauter machine makes parts to build a 3.3 liter VW.
This might allow a low rpm direct driven setup with higher output.
Maybe Megasquirt for fuel.

Subject: SD> painting/refinishing the nerf bars and other plastic bits
Hey gang,
Does anyone out there have a guide or some information on painting the
black nerf bumpers and mirrors on our cars? I'm wanting to pull all
these off my Lancer and re-do them while I wait on the engine.
I guess my biggest question is, what compound do I to fill in the gaps
or chunks that are chipped out?
thanks!

Subject: SD> thanks on the CV advice
Ok, thanks to everyone on the advice on getting the CV axle sepoarated. I
finally decided to soak it in penetrate and then used a body hammer held
against the CD housing while the half shaft was clamped in my vise. I
then
took a 3lb hammer and stuck the body hammer while hoding it against
the CV
housing. It worked fine.
The car is back together and with the addition of a new gas line on
the tank
side and a new battery, she runs as good as she did when I put her away 2
years ago. Just think, 6 months ago I was trying to give her away free to
anyone on this list. She is rust free dent free and other then the faded
paint, she is straight as an arrow.
I am so glad I have stayed with this forum. It helped when I rebuilt her
engine over 2 years ago and now I am excited about her again.
