Bought myself a Dremel from bunnings this evening

So will start to cut excess plastic off the accord lip, and if I have enough time on Sunday, take of the top steering column plastic and cut it out a hole for the scangauge, basically copying Darry'ls idea!

BGSP · 14-07-2010, 12:23 AM

marcs_sp20 · 14-07-2010, 11:33 AM

$98 from bunnings, cant go wrong! Coulda got the no frills one, but the one I got came with more bits and a carry bag

bourbon · 14-07-2010, 11:39 AM

yeah the one you got definatly looks better...to be honest now i dont see the use in having one

but im not doing this sort of **** to cars anymore...ive upgraded to real boy toys like angle grinders and drop saws

hahahahahahahaha

Clean_Cookie · 14-07-2010, 12:09 PM

i recently bought a chinese one for $15... putting a plug on it this arvo and ill let you guys know what its like :P not expecting much but thought it was worth a try for some cutting of plastic

chicaboo · 14-07-2010, 12:26 PM

My Ozito orbital tool ["Dremel"] cut through 1/2" steel once. It took a while, but it did it.

Not that you'd have much room for that

I would buy a lot of tools, but cant see the point when the oldies live 15mins away and have everything needed

btw my old man is a carpenter, so that helps too

Ryan, if its anything like the sh!tty supercrap auto ones, they'll last 15mins max and burn out... old neighbour bought one, and kept on taking it back for a new one, and they had to warrant it due to warranty, went through 5 in 5 days

Painted my Diapet BG Astina I snatched from ebay last week the same colours as my real BG! (Model was originally blue.)

Pulled all apart.
Used the spray touch-up that I bought which was juuust the wrong colour for my real car.
Drew the trim on with a permanent marker.
Acrylic painted the wheels and bam..

S373N · 15-07-2010, 12:39 AM

oh crap too much blue coming from the LCD screen, you get the picture, it's the dark grey metalic paint

S373N · 15-07-2010, 11:16 AM
