Right guys, after a long time of spending too much at bodyshops for jobs i percieve as less than average for what i end up paying, local cowboys at the bodyshops around here you could say,

i want to do it myself, i have the space to do bits and pieces at a time but not a whole car [well ST24] in one go, i have no kit other than a mig plant [im a welder/fabricator by trade] and a few bits and piece but im willing to buy the kit, but what do i need to get?

so please fellas help me out, i know u can get good results on a budget, i know some things you cant skimp on but some u can,

so Compressor and spray gun?? CFM min? bhp? what can i get away with? what guns are acceptable,

DA dual action, electrc or air fed? recommnedations

body fillers, hardeners, paint, that black stuff that shows up all the imperfections, where can i get that and whats recommened?

other tools?

i know alot of you will be thinking im mad or its not do-able but i believe its more than achieveable,

Chris
