Door Prep & Etch

Guide Coat & Re-etch Part Two

Etch Primer - Part One

Alternator, Paint. and Excitement...

Alternator - Possibly looking at a slim line one - Fiat Cinquecento?

Going to the engineering shop tomorrow to talk with them and see how much monies they want for the drive shafts, fingers crossed it's not as much as I think it could be. Looking at a key and sleeve method.

Planning on spraying the first coat of primer on the 21st/22nd - looking forward to it, very exciting stuff. Only a week to go!

Arches arrived on Tuesday - Big up to Huddersfield Minispares for quick delivery!

Got a rather large basket waiting in Minispares to order - finishing items, seals etc.

After the minispares basket the things left on my list are:
Fuel Cap - Want a black one?
Dash
Carpet
Headlining
Brake Pads/Discs
Rollcage
Top arms
Rose Joints
Threaded Bar
Wheel Nuts

Subframe Progress

Well, we are pretty much welded up now, just a little bit of gussetting to go and the front bar to make. Have pretty much finished painting the mounts, probably put another coat on them, cleaned up the gear selector and painted that too. Decided to leave painting the frame until we are completely sure that it's ready - possible alternator bracket to make etc.

Ordered Group 7 arches this evening, look forward to those arriving.

Subframe 99.9% Complete

Well, as you can see it is now 99.9% complete, the front bar is just to hold it solid until we have the turbo (need to buy another :-( ) to make the proper bar up.

When we are next working on it, it's going to be a weldathon to get all the tacks welded and strong, few gussets to do and then it'll be complete.

I'm selling my motorbike to fund the next bits - drive shafts, shock mounts etc etc. (GZ125 if anyone is interested??!!)
