So update time again
Engine bay got taped up in preperation for some paint Attachment 630564 All sprayed Attachment 630565 Masking tape and newspaper taken off Attachment 630566 Yellow came out nicely.. The colour match is good and shines so nicely :icon_tup: 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 Attachment 630567 I was going to go with this colour on my wheels Attachment 630568 However Neeresh said it wouldnt work so leka with the anodizing so I am going with this colour now Attachment 630569 Will start spraying the wheels and send them all in for anodizing next week hope they come out lekker :icon_tup: Picked up a fong kong original Nardi wheel till I can get an Original one. Attachment 630570 Also ordered a Speedhunters Takata tow strap for my car as well as some Speedhunters stickers and an Air freshener Attachment 630571 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. Attachment 630572 Attachment 630573 Also found a Microtech Engine Management system for a steal so will be collecting that this weekend. Thats all for now guys |
