Just a small little update.
Not been out at the car as much due to work and weather.
Got another couple of layers of anti rust gel and then more anti rust primer on the inner sill. Just needs a light sand and a coat of inferno on top of it to tidy it up. To be honest its hidden behind the...
So got more of the inner sill back to bare metal this morning and added hammerite rust remover gel. Attacked again with the wire brush and dremel attatchments and then a good clean out and it was time for its 1st coat of anti rust primer.
Will give another 2 coats throughout the day and then...
It will be remaining somewhat track focussed but I'm going for more of a toned down cleaner look. Still capable on track but more sort of clubsport esque
Basically wanting it back to a previous state that it once was before it started getting butchered. 🤦
Back to looking like this but will...
Well thats just it mate. I have held off for too long so now its time to take the car off the road for a bit and set about getting everything done before anything gets worse. Will be a long process but will be worth it..... I hope 😂😂
Set about the driver side inner sill with some wire brush drill bits. And got it cleaned up. Between this and removing the wrap on the other side or the car this took most of the day untill I had to quickly do the school run.
Inner sill is cleaning up nicely just need to get some rust...
After a few messages to a good friend @Stu. at renomotive he soon gave me the advice to get into the rear quarters to check the inner sills as that way i would find out if this project is even worth continuing.
So i did.... Then i remembered someone who previously owned this car....for some...
After a long hard think i was still undecided on what to do. So after a bad family related end to last year things to do with the car got really neglected. New year came and I decided to go out to the car, Alternator seems to have a siezed pulley, heaters have stopped working and the dash was...
Well well well it looks like i have neglected this thread once again. Yes my bad 🤦.
So much for "watch this space" in my previous update 🙄 Alot has happened since my last post but not for the best unfortunatly 🤦😢
So following on from my previous update, Yes the inferno was once again a blank...
Hi looking for a bit of advice/help
The daily dci100 mk2's aircon has packed in and the pulley is absolutely knackered wobbling and rattling to the extent that its destroying belts.
Was wondering if there is a diy removal to get rid and just use a different pulley and belt similar to what can...
Another little update.
Started a wire tuck on the rear passenger side interior and removed some un-needed wires and washer hose. Ill need to get a pic or that now its finished.
But on another note...
Theyre were some bits of the wrap on the car that were bugging me. Imperfections etc...
So another little job to add to the list.
My towing eyelet decided to go awol 🙄
So bought some of the MSA Wire tow hooks. At first was wondering how the hell they were going to fit but noticed a hole in the front chassis legs that could be useable.
M10 8.8 Tensile bolts, Nyloc nuts and...
So the abs sensor was of course a pain!
1st of all the old one was totally siezed into the hub 🤦 Decided to get barbaric and cut the top off and then the bottom at either sides of the hub and chap the magnet through carefully without hitting the abs ring thankfully this went to plan 👌 what...
