mmmm. nice, should eliminate that jelly roll around that we've witnessed :D

Thats going to look lovely when it is done.

 

Looking foward to seeing it again... :D

As of today, the springs have been cleaned up and undercoated (cause i'm too cheap a bastard to pay for springs) and will soon be treated to a new colour. Left Spring = Cleaned Spring, Right spring = Before Cleaned.

 

 

This is what they looked like after they were undercoated.

 

 

Also on saturday I picked up the front strut bar bushes. ( $30 )

 

Umm, I might be wrong, but most paint isn't designed to flex very much (even acrylics) so wouldn't the paint on the springs just flake and crack and stuff after awhile?

We'll see what happens, it can't look any worse than what they were, i'm painting the springs with orange enamel, hopefully it will set very hard..

errrr I think fook is right and very hard paint will just crack even more - certainly if it is thick enough it will chip and flake.

Enamel would be even worse I would think. I know I painted one of my fuel filter brackets with black enamel (even with etch primer) and when I bent it to fit the fuel filter it just cracked and flaked... I think that's why they powdercoat springs instead of just painting them...

Only one way to find out I suppose, they say you learn from your mistakes, anyway, the swaybar has been painted this morning so far..

 

oooo very nice!

Hey look a Pedders swaybar :D

 

And hey what's with Justin building Grimwolge's car? Oh well, at least it'll get done right this time :D *poke poke* :D

this engine is gona look swarvo when its done - look at all the fancy colours :D :D :D !

Ok, got the brake shields painted,

 

 

and got the stock springs painted...

 

 

 

Only thing I didn't get done today was the suspension units, but I think I'll paint them after I get the strut inserts back into them so I don't scratch them..

Dribble / Druels / foams at mouth etc.

 

Wish mine would look as nice as that !!

Hot Damn!

Hey when he's done, send him round my place. :D I got a few things to keep him busy. :D

ha ha ha, when i'm done its time for my car to get some TLC :D
