Got me brake pipes and connector today Copper nickle ready o make up me new pipes got landrover green paint to spray them in for the ford origanal look.

Going to get my Fuel pipe tomorrow.. found a specailist in Nottingham that does rubber fuel pipe with black cotton braid over the top.

Got me Primer today its got a tint of moonstone blue in it to hide the red oxside then the top coat goes over that.

So lots done will post some pics this weekend.

Paintshop supplies Nottingham mate,

Its high build primer too.

[Dan]

Nice, i've used high build stuff on all my parts i've done for the Saph, much easier to use than tons and tons of coats of the stuff!

Update Time Boys and Girls..........................

Well some pics of bits iv got anyway.



Bit of Spray paint, satin black for the shocks(see shocks painting progress below) and landrover green for my brake lines when iv made them, got a problem with the brake lines i bough a sealy brake pipe making kit took it round my mates(a mechanic) so he could show me the art of making them and its not working right keeps bending the pipe over to one side and makes a funny shape of the end, so thats going back for a replacement.



Copper nickle brake pipe and male female ends all ready and waiting for making up.



Fuel Pipe for linking the tank up at the rear.



Another box from Uncle Henry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

costina, hi mate see you still have my pic in your sig lol, yes i will be at combe this year car will be ready in time for Centre day mate.. i hope.

Ok, here you go peeps for all you in need of a fix.

Underside now in primer and ready for top coat.



Rear Disc's painted in heat proof silver ready for build up.



Rear hub setup prepped for buildup



Konis finished in satin black



Bit of attention to detail, washers for rear hub nut painted black



Most the powder coating back nicely wrapped great service.



Taster of the powder coating, great attention to details by the powder coating company they had masked all the inner parts of the hub carrier so not to get powder coat where the shims go for the bears, also any threaded holes they had put a peice of masking tape in so the threads stayed clean of powder coat.



Diff has been to the blasters, but i had a recermendation(sp) for this as its case it can be pitted very easy if blasted to heavy and with shot, so i had it bead blasted.

This has been laquaered today and looks amazing, first i blow it of with the air line wiped it down then blastered it with air again.... then on with the laquaer(will post pics soon).

Pre Laquaer




Lots more nut of bolts and washers, i have everything i need now for rebuild.



This is an exsperiment and may change, painted the exhaust white for that clean look.... BUT may go all polished.



Rear Konis paint satin black



New brake pipes iv made up for the rear and painted green... sadly the paint was flaking so they have been keyed really deep and repainted.



Getting there been doing a load more today so will update when i next take some pics.

CheeRS James.

[costina]

Nice you can come and do mine next
