Looks very tidy Si. It's quite hard getting modern equipment to intergrate with the old interior of these classics. I think you've done a smashing job. Between the knock link and the lamcos it should give you a pretty good idea of what's going on.
Arnt we due some exterior shots of the car :) Joe |
Looks great Si

Spent a couple of hours today just having a go under the car, first time I have been under there since finishing it off so after a wash down I applied some metal wax to the wishbones and also Poorboys to the caliper brakes etc.
Another job was the Brembo decals fitted on, great contrast against the red caliper. I have to say I'm very impressed the way the car drives, handling is spot on it's so responsive and holds the road really well and one thing that has surprised me is just how quick the acceleration is.... With it high revving when you put your foot down there is no lag it's instantaneous it boosts and pulls like a train and you can cover some serious ground. I've been putting a few miles on it recently and it's a raw drive for sure, lots of noise that you don't hear in other models. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...D42A1F91FD.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...03732ACD6B.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4C0B3E0AED.jpg This is the first time I've cleaned the wishbones since the build... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...7589D7CE3A.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...CA8335FBFE.jpg Another job was to get the paint out and touch up any marks from the build, so where the spanner had been on for the tracking etc has been touched up. Great contrast http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...1C8B9BB39B.jpg Also waiting for a set of wheels to arrive but I do have one odd one so had to try fit and see what it looks like... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...4B322BC420.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...DCC05BE474.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...26B34F8771.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...959DDB72C8.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...530D49B446.jpg Then remembered I had a whiteline decal to go on.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...9F4EA6CE0E.jpg I've removed the rear diff brace as for my use it was not really suitable, created a drumming noise on the motorway with the rigidity. At some point I'll pick up the Sti oval wing decals up along with the quick rack decal for the rear window. |
To say I am envious is an understatement... Love this car! :cool:

Nice to see your keeping on top of it, now it's getting some mileage on her.
I agree they acceleration of a standard Ra is blistering. The v2 Ra gearbox is just so close I love it. Glad you got yourself a set of revolutions too :) Joe |

Still looks like the day it came out of the workshop - what metal wax did you use:thumb:
|
Finishing of a pot of Meguiars at the moment Jon and wondering what to get next or the same again.
I used the Poorboys wheel sealant on the disc centres, struts, laterals, Calipers etc it's great stuff and so versatile, this I will be staying with its one of the best products I've used. I use a radiator paint brush to clean the arches :lol1: so when I wash the car a quick squirt of de greaser followed by the brush makes life easy to clean. |
I've just about finished my poorboys and I've got a pot of rimwax to break open, hadn't really thought about all of the other uses for it but sounds like a great idea:thumb:
I like my megs metal polish, better than the autosol I had before:thumb: |

Another great project on scoobynet saving another old classic Can't wait to I start phase three The underneath You don't even need to swap over then in one hit but you will have everything ready for when you do. Many thanks as well LH as it's great comments from you guys and positive input that has also helped me to keep going, I've always been on a budget here too and in the main have stuck to it and it's is possible to achieve without spending daft mounts of money trust me. The reason I suggest one car is you know it had all worked and bolted together Gathering multipal parts from different cars may not all marry quite so well with tolerances changing, this I feel was why mine went back together so well because it was the car. Also your not then working through the cold winter on it when the cars off the road.

Looking great :) will look the nuts on those wheels!
|
Si one thing you must do it clean the paint off the contact points between the hubs and the wheels...just stick a little copper slip on to keep it corrosion free :)
|
Good point Ian I'll give that a fine sanding at some point, it's rattle can Hammeritte so not that much in thickness in reality.
|
Very clean that ,wheels look spot on
