YESSSS!!!!!!!

Legend!

Whens it all gunna be back together?

Haha. Thanks. Epic reaction.

Hopefully very soon. The plan this week is to:

Remake the brake lines a lot neater in copper,

buff the paint in the bay,

fit the engine,

go up country and lift my new manifold, hub/brake set up and fit it,

and custom mount my top fill radiator in the front panel.

Sounds like a lot but ain't really. Esp after all the shite I've already done.

I'll be ready the week before UD at this rate. I can almost hear it now lol

Connor

I love the contrast betwixt bay and bodywork. Looking forward to having a mooch at UD!

suite colour! is it a custom mix or a factory colour from something?

Thanks everyone.

Right bita fab work today. Paddy gimmie his old 106 radiator to use as it's a top fill one so mounted it in the front panel.

Rubber mounted it with grommets at the bottom and bolted at the top.

Cut out in the slam panel for the cap (needs smoothed)

decided to paint the mounts and bolts satin black to freshen them up. Sit well in the bay against the pink.

Then I scrubbed the subframe and hammerite'd it black.

Also got the copper for my new brake line and shiny new connectors

Also gona polish these top bits to tie in the polished rocker cover.

Tomorrow I'llbe buffing the paint then onto making the brake lines. After that the engine goes in

Connor

thats just amazing...cant wait to see it at ud dude very very

epic mate epic

cant wait to see it again at ud :-D

looking amazing loving the pink

and I'm so jealous off you are steffans i reali want a set

cant wait to see the finished product

keep going dude looks sick !!

I flatted it with 1500 and 2000paper then buffed it.

Ok thankfully a big enough update.

During the week I painted the bay again as I wasn't happy with it (and thought I could do with a bit more pressure :p) got it flatted down tonight and buffed.

Also got the brake lines made up and bolted together with the exception of 2 6inch bits going to the rear which I'm doing in the morning.

Today I met Col and got my Stainless steel manifold, 16v driver side engine mount and 16v hubs, discs and calipers. Top man to deal with (Y)

After a like of Hammerite/satin black the hubs and brakes/mount now look like this:

and compared to the old discs:

and the manifold like this:

Also the night we polished a few bits while waiting between coats:

Tomorrow's plans are to clean the plastic cover on the bulk head, drop the engine in, bolt the hubs and suspension back in and whatever else i can do.

Connor

Ok, Update time again:

Finally sorted the brake lines this morning then I started to clean up teh black plastic bit on the bulk head

Next I gave the mastercylinder a good clean up:

Then I decided to buff the new manifold:

And make myself a washer fluid bottle seeing as I can't get one small enough:

Best bit was getting Brian to wax the new paint. 3 coats of Swissax and Autoglym I think and bolting the black bits in. The engine will be lifted in tomorrow morning (Y)

Connor

amazing, cant wait to see this
