Right it's been a couple of week's since ive had a chance to do much on the saph due to work and the weather ect. So with it being dry and not o chilly over the past couple of days ive finally got under it again.
Started by cleaning a painting the gearbox. The disks only had 1k or so on them and don't need replacing so a splash of silver gave them a new lease of life
Next i tackled that little patch of grot on the arch , Also noticed the sill was a little ropey above the jack point so as i had a saw in my hand and i was cutting the arch anyway i though it was worth hacking out ans replacing it
. End result is this .
The rest of the arches were nice and sturdy with only a ver small amount of bubbling here and there so all that was needed was a going over with a knot wheel to rip out any shite that may cause me issues later on and sealing with panel bond and a wipe of stopper to finish off
.
The underside like the rest of the car is solid with a few bits and bobs that need a little attention . I thought when i bough the car it had been stonechipped underneath but apon trying to remove a small secion of it i very quickly found out that it was more like a mix of shultz and waxoil and a total fucker to get off
. So 12 hrs with a scotchbright and thinners and it was 99% off. Not to many nasty supprises under therejust some dodgy sealing around a previous repair the N/S outer seat mount. Not to fear my handy blow lamp sorted that out quickly
. so a coat of primer later and the underside now looks like this
As with a lot of saph's little secions next to jack point's had been squashed so needles to say there were straghtened ,skimmed and primed and now both look like this
. I know there a hole missing but they were a little to fucked to put the hole back in and without making it look a dog's dick
Thats about all i got done but hoping to do a little more tomorrow and next week get the dove grey on the underside .
Oh and one final pic even though it's not on the road yet it needed its group sticked on
Cheers Al
