Not exactly dilemma of the century but I've got white comp mo 5's at the moment, the newer curved spoke ones, 7.5x17 et33 and my ones getting powdered are comp group A mo5's but the old style flat spokes in 8x17 et33

 

where they getting pdrcoated?

 

Hi and welcome mate .

 

A place in East Kilbride, not sure on name but get a good reputation and were a good bit cheaper than few places local!

 

Hi matey.I know Mulla very well.I went with him to pick the saff up a few years ago.

 

Theres a place in prestwick that does wheels but there just basic colours. Id like my tsw done in a smoked silver. Did you get the headlights change im working on mine tonight fuel pump cradle off to get powdercoated and fuel pump change.

 

Welcome along chap

 

jim P&J powdercoatings in newton mearns gets a good rep and cheaper than carrick who are shite now that stuart has sold it.

is your work part of the lowmac bit down the saltpans? do they take car shells?

 

i had heard that carrick were really poor quality now and one of the guys i know who does bodywork etc uses this place and always seems a good finish. Saying that i'm having them powdered then painted diamond white so they match the car!

Glenn, yeah mulla is a really sound guy, told the truth about the car and never tried to hide anything. Not that there was anything to hide but you know what i mean.

Think he might regret selling it when the summer comes in

Anyway got headlights done and grill centre after a bit of fabrcation to move radiator back so that 500 cooler could use the intended bolt holes on the chassis and make enough space for the standard lights, obviously the Morette's are thinner so wasnt an issue before

 

Yeh thats us andy they take cars down saltpan only 80quid a ton you need to take tyres away. I used to use stuart orr i wont use carrick eng. Its hard to find places local to get work done. I need a block bored but theres nothing rnd here. Whats next with thd saff kevin

 

welcome mate glad to see your enjoying the car

 

Loving the car , its my bank balance thats not as keen

Got hopefully the last of my stuff from ebay over weekend so hopefully by this time next week be ready for some pictures.

Saying that the 4 inches of snow need to clear before then!!!

 

What were you getting from ebay

 

jim try kilmarnock engine services in moorfield a think they re bore blocks. my pal uses them for all his cylinder head work etc.

that Ł80 a tonne for car shells or in general for metal? its a combo shell loaded wi other steel!

think emr in killie is Ł160 a tonne the now, no sure though.

how did you get on wi my lime green cavi turbo wheel did you find a use for it?!!!!

 

Jim, was buying the alloy side skirt clips from motorsport developments, standard headlights, decals for the refurbished wheels, group a wheel nuts, standard grill and a few other wee bits and bobs.

The car doesnt really need anything major, just really trying to get the car the way i want it before the better weather comes round.

 

Had to put it in a bag as it kept burning my eyes. Go to emr but shh i never said that haha. Ive been told to stay away from them from quiet a few ppl

 

I know what you mean im rushing to tidy up a few things on mine. Been sitting in the garage since sept just couldnt be bothered now im rushing about at last min as usual but if this weather keeps up i wont be tempted and rush it back on the road. Are you going for power or standard?

 

to stay away from who? emr?

al stop in for a look at the saph when its back on the raod

 

I'm happy with it at the moment jim, it was stage 3'd towards end of last year by Will Pedley, saying that i would like to sort out a breather system etc, maybe a cam and eventually bigger turbo. No solid plans but will see if anything comes up then i might be tempted.

 

No no andy emr are ok. I was talkn boutKilly engine services. Mime could do with a bit more go and less lag in fact a lot less and a new head lining

 

heard mixed things about killie engines. my pal uses them weekly for cylinder heads etc with no issues.

get the wallet out and give harvey gibbs a call!
