Final Push

We're on the final push towards the spraying stage! I hate to admit it, but I am enjoying it more than usual, maybe it's the excitement of seeing it all in one colour!

Have been rather lazy on the update side of things recently so have a few things to update you all on.

Front indicators/Side lights
Got them done and looking really good - very pleased with the results, even more pleased that I know I'm going to be the only one with them!!! Made rear plates for them instead of using standard ones - which seem few and far between, and go for stupid money.



Head
Have painted the head parts - should be ready to put together in the next few weeks!

Rear Beam
Just come back from shot blasting - needs a top coat and it'll be ready to mock up.

Shell
Completed shultz underneath and have made good progress on the prep on the body - should only be another weekend or so before it's finished.


Coilovers
Have talked to GAZ and you can buy the offset tops of the coilovers separately, which solves the problem of having to cut and adjust the rear shock mounts - extremely pleased with that bit of news!

Valance - Fitted


Fitted the valance, all went well, nothing else to report at the moment.

Sticky Shultz

Finally it's shultz.

Is it time to open that bottle of champagne yet?

(I've vowed to save it until he's passed his MOT)

Alarming


Never fear, it's only a clifford!

Another salvaged part from another car, works perfectly and will be put into the loom nice and easy.

Sideways

Previous bodge fixed (bonnet hinge) and we're sideways again - this time for some exciting shultz work. My masking tape and newspaper is at the ready!

I'm waiting for something to come up and delay it again now.

On other news, the unit is lovely and cool inside when the temperature outside is warm - hopefully it'll be the same when the 'summer' arrives.

Big Hairy Privates!



Showering pieces of sh*t!

How about we repair a rotten piece of metal with some sh*t weld and a piece of metal we randomly cut out and drilled holes in?

Excellent work.

Bollocks.
