What else are u going to be doing justin?

So far, So good :D

you just trying to clear the shed out justin ????

 

push it in the rain - nick will move it quick enough

Yeah, shed has to be cleared for my 21st, so its got to get rolling soon..

 

This empty engine bay will be transformed :D

 

Got some inspiration today and got the drivers side suspension unit painted (looks nice with the chrome brake shield).

 

.... ;) .... :)....

 

Need :D

 

More :D

 

Photos :no:

 

 

Looooking Exelent!!

Very very pretty :D I hope you used heat resistant paint on that heat shield, it does tend to get quite hot too. Although, normal paint might be able to take the heat, but I wouldn't risk it.

Got more busy the last few days, took the disc brakes in to have them machined, only to find out they had been machined before and wouldn't be able to take any more machining. Ended up buying a new set to save any more f@$king around.

 

 

Anyways, I ripped the discs off the hubs yesterday and cleaned them up today and gave the hubs a few coats of Black VHT Paint

 

 

 

 

 

Tomorrow I will bolt the dics to the hubs, ran out of time this afternoon unfortunatly, also the strut inserts are going in and I'm hoping I will *possibly* get the suspension all back together on the crossmember and back on the car.

Looking very flash, gotta love the look of new discs...

Exelenta'

 

:D

Got the drivers side suspension back together

 

Very nice. Those struts look sooooo long... Probably cause mine are larger diameter and shorter stroke... It'd be interesting to see how long the paint on the spring holds out - did you end up adding that "plasticiser" or whatever it is to make the paint more flexible?

The paint didn't crack when I compressed the springs to put them back in, I wrapped some cloth around the springs to stop the spring compressors from scratching them, didn't add anything to the paint, just had a coat of acrylic primer and then shot over with a spray can of orange enamel paint. Springs do look long, but thats just because they don't have the weight of the car / engine on them yet..

Well its finally happened, the Crossmember is back in!

 

 

Complete with suspension struts so far

 

 

Next step is to get the disc brakes back on, then get the front swaybar back in so the car can be finnaly dropped back on its feet.

FFS !

 

It just keeps getting better !

WOW !!!

 

those colours all go 2 gether wounderfully.... wow !

That's very pretty. Good idea with the crossmember tabs too (putting masking tape? cardboard?) under them so you don't scratch the paint like me :D
