Good lad Mike, so whats left to do regards the motor Jeff?

 

not alot mate im gonna need a clutch (any recommendations?)and replace the rear crank seal before engine goes back in then get the injectors re-furbed.
would like to think it'll be back in this year but its not looking likely.
got some more pics to share:

 

Looking good jeff, plenty of time to get it ready over the winter.

 

Looking good Jeff, i've always used AP paddle - first was a 6 paddle with a standard plate and the one in this engine is a full kit - my mate had an Alcon 6 paddle and that felt like a standard clutch

 

Top work.

 

Minty fresh fela

 

Jeff you must be chuffed with that paint job!
It looks flawless!

 

alcon sounds good chris i want a clutch that feels standard and one that will take any future upgrades

i am shaun,will look even better once its been polished up.
couple of pics of the bumpers:

 

Looking Good mate.
Regarding clutch i had A.P 6 Paddle, if you want it to feel like a normal clutch, with no judder, make sure you get the flywheel skimmed. Will Drive lovely.

 

ill look into all options before choosing a clutch,ive already had the flywheel skimmed
more pics from the painter:

 

Looks very very good Jeff, nice gloss shine

 

Looking very nice mate . Do you think you will get it back on the road for the shows next year.

 

Looking really well now.

 

It does mate im very happy with it

I would like to think so mate but its money dependant ill try my best
Cheers glenn

 

Looking better and better everyday

 

What did u use all to fit the arch kit ? Looks great

 

Looks a cracking job

Gaz always does some Job if a wasny a painter masel a would be giving him my work

 

They've been put back on like they were originally, I supplied the plastic clips that push into the wings and stainless steel screws, and the painter put on the double sided tape.

 

A couple of pics I couldn't upload the other day:

 

This must be the best thread ever , the world needs more totally over the top detail freaks like you to give us norms great cars to drol over/ buy in the future 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Some amazing attention to detail and I now really really regret selling my moonstoner

Keep the pics comin cos'worth it

 

thanks for that rob.
car is back from the painter now so i thought id share a couple of pics,cars a little dusty as ive not had a chance to clean it yet but you get the idea








tank painted also:

 

Now the real work starts, how did you get on with the mouldings, are they a little rippled or is it the camera angle? i know my doors were a right bastard and overhung the door edge by a couple of mm and had to come off which wasn't easy

 

Looks ace

 

Chris a couple of the mouldings had been off before, i noticed when i went to view the car, they are slightly rippled but ill live with it, I got the painter to re-fit the mouldings and the kit as it was a job I didn't fancy doing. Ive now got the door glass, seals, locks and door handles back on hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow so I can get more done

Thanks andy.

 

What a finish

Gaz is some painter , nows the hard part fitting everything as clean as the paint job

 

Can't wait to see this

 

Couple more pics.

 

Looking great fela

 

stunning jeff ,and as rob said your attention to detail is awesome mate


if my moonstoner comes out as good i would be a happy man

 

Brilliant thread Jeff, just spent over hour reading it,
But has scared me a little as am thinking of doing my 4i and not sure I'm up to the job now lol
Love the fabrication you've done yourself wish I never dropped out of my fabrication/welding collage course many moons ago!
Hat off to you mate, blinding job
Good luck with the rest of it
Ash
