bad news mate these cars need propper storage,especially how much we spend in em,limits working on them too which is a real shame as i wanted it up and running before the end of the year ready for shows and track
thought id show some pics of my car with my track drag wheels on think it looks quite mean on these,also to show how clean the shell is in the roof one of the best ive seen
and today found a pool of rain water inside which brought some surfice rust only leaked in due to the crap car cover and no front screen and rear 1/4 windows but i soon mopped it up and the floor looking nice again
then i covered it back up untill i go get a decent cover which is water proof,i was gunna post a few pics of a few parts like pedalbox fitted and so on but photobucket been playing up so i will do it some other time thanks for reading because without your replys and support it wouldnt make it a thread so to speak
please note the pic of the floor is when it had rain water and surface rust had appeared, the rust just wiped off with a cloth,and now dont look like that
lol i had me sen worried too, thankyou very much for the offer anyhow much appreciated but i couldnt put on you,loads of updates to put on just need to download pics, should have some very tasty gauges coming too begining with a D...?
mocked up the front mount cooler, custom pace rad,and oil cooler and looks like it will all just fit. loads to do,we plan to have it ready for central day next year, but not gunna hold our breath
today started on the interior floor pan,strip prep paint,planned painting inside moonstone blue as i have some spare paint left over,few friends have said just paint it matt black but im not sure yet as the cage is black and think the blue would break it up a bit,not wanting to sound too much of a bufty,lol
getting the waxoil and old paint off well messy,and takes bloody ages but well worth it
original sills never been repaired and mint
by tommorrow inside will be fully prepped,then will refit the cage things are now looking up
Never noticed this project before now,read it from start to finish.Very nice.Any updates,how near are you to being finished?? Micky
the suspension components have been painted in a ripple type affect,and the inside has been sorted,i will add pics and the updates,been extremly busy,thankyou for the kind words
