You going to central day?

 

Cheers guys,

Brendan I need to go down and see Hendy’s for the last few bits I need, do you get a discount Yes I am going on the 17th, if she’s not ready im going with Ian

Here how she is now, I have some of mikes shims to put in. According to the ford manual you need a special tool to insert the hubs on to the spindle.. Can someone confirm this is required?

 

Done a bit more over the weekend, just need to get the tank and fueling plumbed in, should be running next weekend!!

 

Looking sweet there Chops

 

class

loving the 2000E as well

 

Looks stunning will it be on the road soon

 

Cheers guys,

The 2000e was nice its a shame it got broken as they are quite rare.

Will be running this weekend I hope Lee, I just brought some 2k to paint the fuel tank and have a couple of other little jobs to do like blead the brakes and fit a new speedo gear to the gear box as mines worn. Fingers crossed she will start

 

looks realy nice mate

 

Well she's back on her wheels!!! its all done now appart from the bumper which i need a new bracket for. I didnt get a chance to start it yet as the dam battery is flat, the big start up tommorrow I just hope it starts

 

Well done m8 look forward to seeing it are you going to the pod

 

Yes im going lee, not sure I will be in my cossy though as am to skint to MOT, tax and insure it this month now may just hit the credit card with it.. I will find your motor and come and say hi anyway Are you on a stand?

 

Did you underseal it, if so did you need to prime it before painting it moonstone or is it ok to paint straight over the underseal?

I'll be doing mine soon so just working out the best way to tackle it!

 

Looks like youve done a good job there mate...

I'm hoping to have mine ready for the pod on sunday.

What did you use to paint your diff?

 

Also what were those shims like to fit?

Ive ordered a pair myself

 

Well done mate

Looking really well,great feeling when they're done isn't it

 

I will be there john durham club stand..

 

Cheers guys,

Tan I didn’t underseal, I stone chipped and then primed then painted and sprayed the moonstone base coat, then finished it off with 2k clear lacquer.


Dean the diff is painted in hamerite smooth silver, the shims were a bit shite to be honest and I cant see them making a blind bit of difference, they are so thin plus you have to cut the shite out of them to make them fit. I wasn’t too impressed.

Rich it’s a great feeling, was a real moment when I lowered her back down after so long in the air.

will pop over and say hi Lee, looking forward to seeing your beast

 

Will you waxoil over the paint or do you think it will have enough protection? I will be doing mine soon and I want to do the same as you - stonechip and then prime and paint. I would prefer not to waxoil over the paint as it will get so grubby.

 

Depends on how much you use it mate if it were an every day car I would wax it?

 

Dean saff - will you be waxoiling yours?

 

Nope I dont use it every day.

 

Tan i did consider waxoiling it but as i dont use it during the winter months i would prefer to leave it looking nice and clean. If it was an everyday car I wouldnt have painted it anyway but would of black waxoiled it.

Cheers

John

 

Never again, why did you have another go then (cfr. twice)

 

hi lamb chops did you have your petrol tank powder coated if so did you have any problems, i recently had mine done & the pipe that joins the metal pipe to the swirl pot melted. dont reall know what to do about it now

 

Buy a new one like I did

http://www.shopcreator.com/mall/depa...37/1/1/-/47937

I got one from there Ł61 delivered

 

Top job mate, well done

 

Bloody hell Ł45 for a tank!!! Paid 90 for mine

Fortunately I didn’t have the fuel tank powdered, I nearly did then someone pointed out that there are plastic parts inside. First I keys it up then etch primed then grey primer then two coats of silver then a coat of 2k top coat. Does the job.... I hope

 

mr chop how long has this taken you if you dont mind asking as mine fills like it is going no were fast yours is looking very nice buy the way

 

Dean saff, is that defo a cosworth tank that F60D? Want one and thats a good price!

Spot on fit and delivery etc from them too
