Been busy with the spray gun over christmas.
Colour is slightly darker in the metal than it looks in the pictures.

 

 

looks nice, any pics de-masked yet, so we can see the cage against it?

 

Cheers, I haven't had a chance to pop back since i sprayed it so none yet.

 

Looks great. Love the colour!

 

Thanks.

Quick shot of unmasking today. Just the satin black left to do inside now. Can't wait to start putting this thing back together.

 

Love it, so wish I'd done my cage orange now looking at that.

 

I love that combo. One of my all time colour choices that is! Lovely!

 

That looks mental - great work so far

 

Thanks. To say i'm happy with the results is a massive understatement. Paint has turned out much better than expected.

 

Finished painting the shell yesterday at last!

Satin blacked the inside and it really sets the cage off a treat.





Considering i'm not a sprayer, i'm really happy with how it's come out. Now i can start bolting parts back on.

 

That looks really tidy - the contrast between the cage and the interior is sweet

 

Love the grey! Looks incredible!

 

Hats off mate looks good

 

Awesome thread, the colour decision would have taken me too long!
With the sill stands, was there a lot of reinforcement work to do under the car?

 

Thanks.
Tube sections have been welded through the outer & inner sills and pick up on the roll cage inside. The sill stands then slot inside these tubes.

 

Small update today...

Ordered some of this universal rubber edging trim for the door openings. I'm not fitting the plastic trims back on and didn't want the sharp edges left exposed.


I'm currently waiting for the subframes to come back from the powder coaters so i cracked on with removing the engine from my donor car ready for it's mild re-fresh.


Standard clutch + 346bhp + 3 1/4 mile drag races = killed clutch



Anyway engine is now mounted on stand, time to get busy.

 

Looks great , just read your build from the start. Subscribed and look forward to more updates

 

Looking good, loving the fergie grey!

 

Collected these from the powder coaters today......

 

Very good

 

Re-furb'd parts going back in

Pedals & steering column in


Quick engine refresh, New cam belt, tensioner, pulleys, water pump & uprated cdf racing guide


Group n engine and gearbox mounts


Next job, tackling the loom

 

Looks better than new

 

A few more parts collected from powder coat



Poly bushes finally arrived



Did a quick tidy up on the gearbox



Then messed about and cut the dash down to fit around cage

 

Looks awesome. Love the colour on the body. Good call.

 

Hi

Any updates on the progress?

 

Yes some progress has been made. I wasn't sure how many still followed my thread so I've not really updated it.
I will organise some pictures.

 

Still watching. Will be great when done!

 

I'd like updates even if it just me and Brownpants

 

Me too, been keeping an eye out for this one
