Fair enough, it is a tiny little motor so i actually didnt notice on that one (or yours) until i was looking for the cas.

 

So why not leave yout cas there, looks like you may have enough room?

Was my original plan but. The dizzy is too complex for me. It has the cas ignitor and coil all built into the one unit and to separate it all and rewire it was more of a headache. The dizzy mount will more than likely be temporary as i have another idea involving coilonplugs but i can't rely on it working as i only have 2months left. And the dizzy mount will def work and get me moving.

not much happened atm the car has been moved back to the workshop and my ke10 has gone to clayton bay.

 

i picked up tyres, a pipe bender for brake and fuel lines, collectors for my extractors.

 

the tyres are 195/50/R15 maxxis i-pro... they are very very sticky... i don't expect them to last long but meh.

So today i picked up a radiator with a very nice twin thermo and shroud from a ford laser. Lateish model. Suits my needs perfectly. Also tonight i primed the shell and a few panels. Only boot bonnet and 1 fender weren't ready. Pretty happy with the primer. U pol hs hb. Tis good shit. And from what i was seeing i am quite happy with how straight it is. Few minor areas but overall really good for a first prime. Also hoping to pick up a towbar for it on sunday.

flares look porn in prime:yes:

yes tis looking good. spent a few hours sanding the itch tonight..

got 90% of the shell sanded and two doors. 320grit..shit takte ages.

 

pretty straight so far... flares need some attention and thats about it for the moment but i expected that.

 

so all up 3 doors and say 80% of the shell ready for final surfacing primer.

 

also picked up a towbar for it today. yew!!

well i would've got more done this wkend but this porject took away a lot of my time..

i painted a coaster bus.. just a quick cleanup as the dude had painted it with a roller and brush with house paint..

 

well here is the bus... took all day but looks a milion times better than it did..

 

 

 

pics of the car atm..

 

 

thermo fans... no pic of the rad but you get the idea...

 

towbar this will get a cleanup.. sandblast and powdercoat.

from what i've read these help to stiffen the chassis a bit plus i'll be able to put a bike rack on it..

 

the primer i used.. cheap but i love it..

good to spray and easy to sand.. and seriously high build. adhesion seems really good too.

 

 

last nights progress. this side sanded including the doors.

 

dark patches need attention so overall pretty good.

 

shaved boot lock bit of a pain because the panel curves. the door is finished..

 

won't be working on it again till thrusday but i have thrusday all day friday sat and sunday..

aim is to have the bodywork finished and i have a spray booth organised for end of jan/early feb.

 

 

Ok so bit of a progress update. Been workin on it every night after work. Gettin tired but its gettin painted wkend after next so i'm bookin along to get it ready. I've been doing only body work and its wearing thin. So over the wkend did more sanding bog work and primeing. Funny how when you think its all good you gloss it up and see more imperfections. Well anyway. I only have 1 fender 1door and a bonnet left to get ready for surface primer. Everything else is ready to go and straight. Also not going with voodoo anymore. Cos of my work and the fallout it'll end up looking shit cos its dark so i'm going with atomic same colour as slo030's wagon but i have the paint and my 55 was the same colour. And being so bright it won't show up the shit from work.

nice work mate, bodywork is never fun, stick in there or it will drag on as long as mine. can't wait so see the finished result. :yes:

Cheers man. Well the door guard and bonnet are all pretty good not much work left in em. So this wkend will be the final surface prime. And next wkend its booked in to get painted stoked!

Tomorrow night is the night. Going to pick the car up straight after work and get cracking. I'm very happy with the way its looking except for the front fenders. I can't get them right... I think i need to shrink the metal in a spot or two. But i'll paint it all and if it stands out then i'll redo them. Apart from that its sexy. Will throw some pics up either tomorrow night or sat.

how much did you pay for the rear leafs??

220 mates rates though.
