SSC - GRP Clearout
 

Well it's finally come to the stage where we have been hoarding grp seconds for the last 2 years and decided to have a good clear-out. Not realising just how much there was up top it would have been a crime to just throw it all away. Knowing that many builders are on a tight budget and these items will certainly help to keep you on budget but will need some work, not a great deal, to tidy them up a bit. This is just for forum members for a week or so, after that i'll put them out on Locost and elsewhere.

I have attached a pdf listing all the items available and also a brief description of work required for each plus a price and postage. I have also put pics of each item on my flickr account with a link below, some bits still have white resin powder on them which will just brush off. I have tried to reflect the amount of work required to the price and are half price or less.

All payments need to be made via PayPal to andrew@saturnsportscars.co.uk with it clear in the comments box of which item ref code you want plus delivery cost (only select one delivery cost per order, 2 or 3 items - if ordering 4 to 5 add £30, for a full set add £95 as these are expensive). I will keep the pdf upto date to try and avoid duplicate orders, if there is a duplicate i'll select the next similar piece if there is one.

All the best EveryOne.........Andrew

thank you didier

Tha's ganna be flush after shifting that lot Andy....nice one bud... many manufacturers destroy their seconds which I have always thought is crazy....wudev had the diffuser but that bluddy TT is way to sharp.

That is rather a lot of seconds!

Not that many ??? Mark ???

I guess with the with sheer amount of stuff that Saturn produces combined with Saturns quality control policy, it's inevitable that some seconds will be produced.

One thing for sure, it will do some builders a good turn :) :cool:

Hi Andrew,

What would the postage be to send 3RW, 5FW, 7N and 4SC to Portugal?

I have to agree with that Ronnie! :)

I was thanks!! Decided to take a day trip to Scotland on the bike. Really good day, several hundred miles later coming back into Stranraer rattle, rattle, bang, bang, cam chain tensioner broke. Was really lucky to coast to the boat and be able to push it on. I think there has been some piston/valve contact, bummer. Then along comes Andys great offer and brightens my day again!!

Andy pm you in a minute.

Just trying to keep up,

Postage to Portugal for the items in the few inquiries there would be £100 with Interparcel due to their size.

Inbox keep filling up so if builders don't mind sending e-mails for inquiries it would make it easier please - andrew@saturnsportscars.co.uk

I have attached an updated pdf with a lot more about to go, i'll keep it up to date as best i can.

Kevin, i've got an S2000 engine and loom to pay for.......;)

I would guess about 10% of all parts made are seconds but it soon builds up over 2 years - i couldn't stand to destroy them.

Many Thanks.....Andrew

Updated List:

Very true on quality, i purchased a diffuser and it had a tiny mark on it, he wouldnt let me have it and made a new one which was totally faultless

I wish whoever made my fibreglass seats had as much attention to detail, the gel is cracking where the matting behind wasnt stuck to it properly :(

Updated PDF.

cheers spud see you saturday :D

Bits bought, me skint now :D

Whats the best way to paint these and would it be durable?

Like any other car TBH. The only difference would be the primer.

You need specific primer for grp then quality paint so to do a 7 you are perhaps looking at £200 worth of paint then the elbow grease and somewhere to paint it properly as need warmth, having it done by a paint shop would cost more than a new set of panels.

Hi Gaz,

We have a body shop in the unit opposite us and we have had a few pieces sprayed in the past where builders have wanted colors not available in the normal RAL range, pearl colours mainly. They have turned out really good by etching the gel with 800g grit then a few thin layers of colored base coat and lacquered over the top. They have come out very nice but its all in preparation and cleanliness to get a professional finish.

Wide scoop bonnet for me
 

Hi Andy

You can put me down for a wide scoop bonnet please, not fussed which one :)

I think the wide scoop will be an ideal compliment to my Redtop engine & will resolve a few clearance issues that I have.

Email me the payment details & I'll sort it pronto.

I have painted a fair bit of GRP over the years, mainly boats & aftermarket car body kits.
Never had a problem obtaining a good, long lasting finish.

Any decent paint shop will be more than happy to advise on the correct paint system to use on GRP ;) :)

No problem Ronnie - you can collect it on Saturday.....;)

Painted a few grp bodied cars over the years and I found it easier than messing with normal cars but prep is the key to it all and working clean. Pretty much the same applies to doing grp anyway to avoid problems.

Blimey Spud, that was quick - Just received my bonnet and front wings :D
Many thanks!

That's good thanks John. I have a good dogs body here that does all the jobs i dont want to do, and he doesn't do computers so he wont see this.

Still looking for suitable ball joints, somebody else has come back to me now saying that their uprights are too tight for the transit drag links which is okay as these can be reamed but it seems there are different versions for the Mk1

Cheers.....AndyH

GRP Clearout
 

Payment sent, you have email, thanks Andrew, Dave.

Got it thanks Dave. Missed collections today but will go out tomorrow.

Andy,
Can you save me a set of rear arches for saturday if you have any left plz mate?
(cant open pdf on this computer)

Mine Scuttle arrived today too cheers Andy, Far better quality than I expected!!!:)

What is the best filler to fill the imperfections?

Filler paste made from Micro balloons and general purpose resin. Very light and sands very easily. But any grp fix is only as good as its surface preparation...
Btw, seen some guys use automotive body filler for whats its worth.

You can either use gel coat with a wax solution(flowcoat) or resin as a filler and if you pigment it the same colour it will be all but hidden and no need to paint.

If you're going to paint them then for the size of the repairs to fill then just standard, "Easy One", will so the job just fine.

Well done Saturn
 

Blooming heck Andy

The courrier turned up with my bonnet at 2.30 this afternoon, that's less than 24hrs between payment & delivery :eek:

Very pleased with the bonnet, other than a couple of small chips to the gel it's almost perfect :)

Soon have that sorted.

Best news, the wide scoop clears the Redtop engine a treat :cool:

I can position & fabricate the gearbox mounts, then organise the propshaft with D&F now that I know what length it will be.

Thanks Andy, fantastic service as usual :)
