todays update 19-12-10


been a long old day , but loved the progress to the car !!!


anyway ,

how the car looked at start of play today



got on with some more sealing at the back







spesh bent up and fabbed a seat mount plate ,









plugwelded from the inside karl even bent up the ledges to replicate a factory mount

also got the other said where the front jacking point would be sorted , holes filled , and the outer section angled down towards the sill


which meant i could seal it like the other side




filler panel on chassis leg was finished





then we got on with mounting up the front cardel mount bosses
























got both sides done so effectivly the cradels finshed lol

few pics ,










also got on with filling some of the smaller holes n bits n bobs

also ran out of sealer

so going to pic up a few tubes tomorrow , only very few minor bits left to do to the floor then could be stonechipping it tomorrow eve !!!!!

ok lads , i got away from the little work i had eairly today and well thats the job finished till january


anyway

been busy today

k moved the mk three rear tow eye to suit the new chassis leg location

old hole plated up



new hole made



mount plugwelded bk on




how it looks




and with that i pushed on finishing up the sealer work





k also filled the two small curves on the section where the sierra floor meets the new panel



its where the pass footwell drain plugs were

anyway with all the sealer done it was time to mask up for the stonechip


k masked the tunnel , as this isnt getting chipped ,as per factory



sills were soft edge foamed and tunnell backmasked

time for polymask



and with the tunnel masked and the car blew off , its almost there and ready





turrets masked



the gravitex was sat on the fire to get it nice and warm




" this week i have been mostly using GRAVITEX plus "




car ready to go

and me and spesh were almost ready to go !



most important workstation in the garage



spesh struggled with his brew



final bit of masking done




time to get cracking








and the final result





























you wanna see it ??





































do ya ??


















































that was after the first coat ,


the sealers seemed to have lifted on the edge in a few verry small areas , were putting this down to the sealer been too thin at that point and maybe too much pressure from the gun ,

decided to leave the lot dry overnight , see how it is in the morning and drop the pressure a touch and apply the 2nd coat ,


havent done the front arches yet as theres a few minor jobs to finish,

thiw we may poss primer n paint the floor in two sections , the full rear and tunnel and the front legs and inner wings and new wings



hope you like


beef & k !!!

sealer on mine lifted at the edges as well mate, needs about 3-4 days to settle, if you paint over it before it will lift as yours has done,

same stone chip as me and dave used on mine, great stuff as covers very nicely indeed, such a difference with a coat of this on, as if its almost finished lol

I used gravitex too good stuff isn't it, for the final coat you can thin it down slightly for a smoother finish (if that floats your boat).

Looking good mate, wish i had space for a spit!!

-beefy-

iTrader: (6)

section of it was , and most of it wasnt and was applied yesterday mate ,

dont know if its down to being fresh or just a little to thin in places , either way i aint worried




yeah fella , good gear

going to see how it looks with a full eve to cure ,

if its still soft im sure we could leave it for a day and get on with the bay and prepping the inside
