Valandor Posted March 3, 2006 Author Report Posted March 3, 2006 :::::UPDATE::::: went to bleed the clutch the other day because it was completly dry of fluids. bloody nut for bleeding was round as a washer. you steal it and i picked up a slave. on closer inspection was full of rust inside. pinched the bleed nut or watever its called all good now. looks like it may not need a new clutch after all. also went for a sticky beark down to u pull it and lo and behold there is one t-18 there with a good condition bonnet there. great part is.. same color as my t18.. score bonnet $30 now i start removing rust, converting bogging sandin and painting. new bonnet makes it look alot better Quote

love ke70 Posted April 1, 2006 Report Posted April 1, 2006 hmm, kinda pixelated.... but what i am going to say is something that i regret not doing after my 9 month rebuild. i did all the bog work, got that nice and smooth. then went and got rid of all the little imperfections with spray putty. however i used a small sanding block, or even my hand in a lot of places. what i should have done: spray putty it, then contrast colour and sandback with a long board with sandpaper. this shows up all the small ridges that you don't notice until you have a beautifully shiny clear coat on top. sure it will take a good while to do, but its the difference between a great paintjob on an alright body, and awesome paint job on a perfect body. i really think it is worth it :P Quote
Valandor Posted May 28, 2006 Author Report Posted May 28, 2006 ::::: Update ::::::: Hooray after a long time part of the paint is done. submitted for your aproval is a selection of pictures with the white paint on sharki. during the week i will be cutting it all back and applying clear coat Quote
