Still got a ways too go though, taking out all the casting pits and the seams/joins... Gonna polish her up then paint her gold :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
looking good mate One little tip, before you paint stick some smily faces over all the bolt holes, reason is when you put the bolts back and screw em down,(if you have painted over the holes)the paint crakes off, then other crap get in ends up looking shithouse.:thumbsup:
Nice, thanks for the heads up man :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Luv getting little hints like that. Got that VHT paint and clear coat you suggested too :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Verry nice Markos !!! :thumbsup: It'll come up a treat. In time, I would also like to colour mine - maybe in the beige/camel colour to suit the interior theme of the car. For the time being, motor remains un-blinged. Hope it turns out well for all your efforts !!! Cheers, Peter
Nice, thanks man Thats what i wanted to do, match the theme of the car. It already had gold brake calipers and the number plate is going to be gold on black so gonna keep the them going. Gonna also paint the front Engine Covers, Power Steering Reservoir, Hicas Solenoid, Each Side of the Strut Brace and the Fuse Cover all in gold too :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
i still have re-occuring nightmares from when i did mine.. haha, although i left it bling bling mirror polished 16hrs of my life i aint gunna get back.. :thumbsup::thumbsup: top work
It's actually not as bad as i thought it would be :thumbsup: I got one of these 3D sanders from supercheap. It has three little velcro pads that all move in different directions/angles etc so its easier to work around corners. (Still needed the Dremel for some parts tough). The sanding pads on it attatch easily VIA velcro and range from 40 Grit throughto 1000, + i also got some buffing and polishing pads aswell :thumbsup: Would absolutly reccomend :thumbsup: ..Just don't press too hard or youll break the little plastic wheels (I got three spares in the pack )
