corolla_nut Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) We’re finally beginning to get back into doing some work on the cars. First priority is getting my ke30 club car going. Today Rob and I managed to tidy up some wiring in the engine bay and remove the majority of some very hard cracked paint and rust from the bootlid. Obviously there’s still a lot more work to be done, including some more much dreaded sanding tomorrow, but we’re making progress. forgot to take a pic of the bootlid before I started, but this pic is after hours of scraping and sanding :/ it looked like dry cracked mud prior!

altezzaclub Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 ..and about time! This having a family is bad for the motorsport! 'Dried mud' is the perfect description, I've never seen paint go so bad. Still, it will clean up and you can rattlecan a few panels to make it look great again. We bent up a water-pipe mockup of the rally car cage, bought the tubing for it and had an exhaust shop copy the mockup. Then we cut & tacked it all together and made the mounts before taking it back to the shop and having them weld it all up. It was complicated because we wanted a bolt-in, so we can swap it from car to car. That made a very economical cage, and a half-cage woud be cheaper again. There must be a pipe bender around somewhere that we can borrow for a day.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
