Natural flames of course, a flamer kit would add weight, and be very very gay.

[Ben]

Day 3 of the build...[/SIZE]

Some rust

Some cleaning, was later primed

some more cleaning, was later primed

perfect sill, dont need touching

oily tunnel, should really get it clean, however its VERY oily from the blown engine. Did the worst of it in the engine bay but I'll steam clean it before the engine gets fitted as the best plan.

cleans and primed battery tray

found some rust here - very small amount

paint looked thin here, but wasnt really rusty



then back to the interior



only half a day today, did a favour for a friend this morning and popped in for a brew at Petrols - who kindly loaned me the motorised wire bush - thanks. (run out of room for smilies) : thumbs :

Day 4 of the build...

I just had to take a picture of how blue the sky was ... before locking myself in the barn .....

Went to do some lightening ... but my hole-saw broke

Things that were primed yesterday were now smoothrited.

As you can see silver smoothrite is a perfect match for a Grey facelift.






How did I miss this yesterday ......

[SM]

then back to the interior



Which is now 100% de-soundproofed - glad it was cold so it was brittle but still a right bitch of a job!

So, next Job, remove the big gay middle pedal, and get 3 pedals for me to use ...


However this is as far as I got as I didnt have the 34mm hole-saw with me ....


Roll on Day 5

[SM]

Day 5 of the build...

I noticed the rear bumper support was very heavy ...

Went to do some lightening ... but my hole-saw broke again, so read instructions, 250rpm with cutting oil.. I had it on full speed, no lube :wack:




Got the important hole drilled first though


The manual accelerator is lighter :wack: as well as being easy to change and having my pedal extensions already sorted.

The brake pedal was an arse to swap, steering column is on the way.

end result ... a manual car
The clutch damper unit thing is fitted too, but no pics.
