Thank you, it's getting there slowly.... very slowly

 

Looks so fresh Cliff, absolutely love it.

 

Looking good matey

 

Great finish there Cliff that looks fantastic I have to say and you have reminded me about something I need to do as well now

 

Thank you for the feedback men, much appreciated

Spill the beans Si, what did you forget?

 

Front bumper Cliff.... Now the work is being sorted for mine I'd be daft not to do it as it will stick out like a sore thumb otherwise.

 

I may have to pay this "mirror finish" a visit Cliff. How do you find the colour match?

 

I've seen different shades of supposed 230 white, in fact I viewed a car in many many shades of white before I bought this one, so I was a little apprehensive, but I didn't need to be, I'm delighted with it

 

Today I decided to have a look at my fuel filler neck, which the Arch rolling guy had pointed out to me as needing attention.

It looked really bad but actually cleaned up nice with a wire brush, a little sand paper and then a Hammerite finish.
The amount of dirt behind the plastic cover was unreal, it fell into a great big pile on my driveway!!!!

Here is the result of a fair bit of hard work (I forgot to take "before" photos!!)








and then I cleaned and primed up the rear caliper ready for some red paint to match my 4pots which still need fitting...

 

Filler pipe on mine rotted through behind the plastic cover;



It ******* stunk of petrol if I filled the tank.

 

I'm not surprised Micky, that plastic cover is a crap design the way it holds in all the dirt and road muck, including salt no doubt, I was relieved to see a silver pipe once I'd rubbed off the rust

 

I've just fitted my new seals and pistons, so here is a proper before and after look

BEFORE:






AFTER:

 

Nice work Cliff. Are you highlighting the lettering, or just leaving as they are?

 

Leaving them as they are Micky, I can't be bothered with the hassle

 

Nice coming on really well Cliff

 

Thanks Stu, it's a shame the Uxbridge Autoshow has come around much too quickly for me, I somehow got caught up in life and work, but it'll be out on the road soon enough and I'll get to something before the season ends I hope

 

Any updates on this project mate?

 

Cliff sold the car autum last year, not sure where to as I have not seen it reappear.

 

Oh that's a shame, nice project thread anyway!

 

I bet he will be back although I still can't stop looking at that awesome R33 GTR Skyline.
