Pending finances I may have to actually think about that PFC you're selling. Are the post office workers still striking/ burning the mail?

Prepping Bay for paint
Done a bit of work this morning in preparation to spray the engine bay.
Took off the radiator, intercooler and oil coolers to give them a good clean and get them out the way dont want any overspray on my shiney bits
Bumper and headlights off
Oil coolers, intercooler and radiator removed
Koyo Radiator, Greddy intercooler and dual oil coolers pic before cleaning
Gonna strip one of the wheels tomorrow to see if I can get the dish anodized as Im changing the colour of the wheels
Bolts will get sent in to get plated in gold
Next week must go buy paint for faces of the wheels, paint for engine bay, and paint for some body parts im making gloss black
The part im dreading most is scrubbing the bay give it a good clean then all the masking off must commence for the stuff I dont want paint on like the brake booster, brake lines, power steering goodies etc

Gave the engine bay a good clean yesterday
In this pic below you can see the bay was only sort of half painted there are two different shades of yellow
Another pic you can see the red paint showing and the two different yellows
I Also split one of my wheels to take the lips in to get anodized :hurray: :hurray:

So update time again
Engine bay got taped up in preperation for some paint
All sprayed
Masking tape and newspaper taken off
Yellow came out nicely.. The colour match is good and shines so nicely
Next were the wheels.
As you can see I got one of the wheels anodized to see how it would come out. If you look closely you can see where the anodising didnt stick to the welding where the wheel got repaired.
Only way of fixing this was to get a paint colour matched to the anodized colour.
Got the paint matched and collected the paint yesterday.
I will just be painting the outer edge of the lips with the paint and a gloss clear over it!
Here you can see where the anodising didnt stick to the wheel
I was going to go with this colour on my wheels
However Neeresh said it wouldnt work so leka with the anodizing so I am going with this colour now
Will start spraying the wheels and send them all in for anodizing next week hope they come out lekker
Picked up a fong kong original Nardi wheel till I can get an Original one.
Also ordered a Speedhunters Takata tow strap for my car as well as some Speedhunters stickers and an Air freshener
Went to check up on the engine this week. It is ready for assembly and should collect it next week
Some pics
Ported leka as well as a half bridge port was done.
Also found a Microtech Engine Management system for a steal so will be collecting that this weekend.
Thats all for now guys
