Brian

 

Good stuff, When do you plan to have it done by, or is it more of a 'it'll be done when it's done' kinda project

 

Well i'll be working on it most days after ive finished my normal job so i'll be posting up regular updates

 

 

keep the pics coming mate

 

keep the updates coming mate, i love seeing cars get stripped completely, u just know the paint guns not gonna miss any areas then. What colour are u going for this time?

 

ill keep it under wraps till its done

 

awesome stuff

 

great work there m8 manys a late night ahead of ya... keep the pics comming... best of luck with the rebuild

 

 

well i finished sanding, sanding and more sanding, then de greased the car and moved onto primer managed to get the door shuts and boot done the rest will have to wait till tomorrow as i ran out of hardener for the primer, well it fell over whilst i was painting

 

looking good fella

 

 

I finally got some paint on today after having a nightmare with it re-acting in places but like i say i got a good coat on and plenty of laquer for a good colour sand, well that much i got a few runs in the laquer but then they can easily be sanded out and buffed, more sanding !! will it ever end

















a few runs






this is where it reacted

 

cool colour...

 

looking good

 

I like that colour.
did it used to have rondells on it?

 

no mate never had those rims on

 

Just looked back on the rebuild from last time!

 

Brian

 

thats fooking lovely mate id say your well chuffed with it dont worry bout the runs they easily sorted.. great work

 

Well unfortunately i spent all day today sanding the car back down as i wasnt happy with the result of the paintwork so the car is back in primer ready to be guide coated and rubbed flat again and then i will give it another coat and hope for a better result

 

Fuck me, that must of been heart breaking to sand that new paint!

The lad who sprays my cars mentioned he has major problems with silcone in the air, causing this type of thing. Even cars pulling up at his workshop with a fresh coat of back to black bumper cleaner or dash shine stuff!

Hence why the big players have spray booths.

Just thought I would mention, dont know why really as I know fuck all about painting cars!

 

yeah it is a big factor but luckily this time there has been no reaction anywhere with the primer, so should look mint with the top coat

 

Well i lifted up the bonnet today and found this snuggly sitting in the bay im sure it was a zvh the last time i checked !!

 

Well today i went about seeing how the ancillaries fit etc and as you can see from these pics below its a tight squeeze

inlet and fuel rail fits ok, except the fuel reg im going to have to move it some how ?



then i fitted the turbo and come across another problem that a new would happen



so i m going to have to fab a bracket to sit the turbo back 2 inches so i can get a intake pipe on it

this is where the most chopping had to be done so i can get all the pulleys etc through, once its all fitted i will rebuild this side to regain its strengh and i might put a bolt on cover so if any work needs doing to the front of the lump its easily accessible

 

Looking good Paul mate. Maybe Ill see it at Ford Fair next year eh?

 

yeah if you actually make it this time , you sticking modern or another cossie ?

 

Nice one ,shame about having to do the paint again

 

Cracking project, nice colour

 

LOL strange way to work Paint it then chop it about to fit the engine But its your project A YB in an RST, what could be better

 

Good progress getting made on this......

Must have been a kick in the nuts having to re-do the paint after all the work had been done......Looked soooooo nice that colour on the car....

Be interesting to see it when the yb lumps in and all the ancillaries are fitted. Will be a very tight squeeze by the looks of it tho.....

But then when its done should look amazing.....

 

Yeah i know i think i was just a case of doing the outside of the car first then i was gonna strip the engine bay and paint it seperate, then this yb came up so all the plans changed so its gonna stay in primer till all the chopping and weldings done then paint the whole lot in one go and yes it will be the same colour

 

Am just jealous cos your making much faster progress than me

 

have you got a resto bit on here on yours then lee ?
