A little update
Heres some pics from the weekend :mrgreen:
I started the friday evening off by making the alloy plate for the floor in the boot replacing the origional petrol tank. This is going to stay removal hense not welding it up with steel. I think my fuel pump and filter will make there way onto this in some kind of a bracket...
Then I got on with finishing the prepping to the engine bay and started masking :x I hate filler and anything to do with it!! Actually I dont like bodywork full stop... and I take on a mk1 cortina
Another mate came down to lend a hand :mrgreen:
Packed up around half 1am and got set up for sat morning.
First thing sat morning got the car in the oven and finished off masking and looked out for any spots I might of missed... which paint just happens to bring out!!!
Calum helped.... whilst modelling his ugly mug on my inner wing...
You cant be too carefull about overspray
Started by spraying etch (spelling) prima on all bare metal to give it a good key..
Followed by the grey prima
We left the car all day so the prima could go off so we got on with cals car.
Then around 10pm we got back on with the miss coat and then the flatterening
:x
It took both of us a good few hours to flattern and started to prep for the colour around midnight :mrgreen: :ykt:
The colour
Let the spraying commence, I got the best sprayer in town...
Finished sat night well sunday morning 2.30am. We were back down there for 9.30am to finish off by body guarding the chassis rails and front panel..
The end result which im very chuffed with
The roof of the car will be sprayed to match at a slightly later date and maybe next year the whole car may go that colour?! Ermine white...
Also in the spare time we had over the weekend
we panelled out the back of cals 100e with alloy and got all that painted also to match
All in all we got loadsa done so were very happy :mrgreen:
Cal was flat out all weekend helping me with the cortina whilst trying to do his own car... he looked like this by the end of it... CHEERS MATE!!
