Might get lost in the sea of blue clios there at the mo...x2 artic 182's and x1 RB 182 and x1 172 cup...Another cup was in just over a week ago too...you'd think they never painted them any other colour :LOL:
Be room for yours to come for a visit just shortly 😘
Aye here's me getting all raging again just looking at them :LOL: I did look into buying a booth and doing it myself. But just don't have the time. Or the funds!
Aye its been a constant dread since I started this project of finding someone decent to paint it! and all my fears have came even...
Me again, Might as well try squeeze one last post in for 2020 as I've been putting this off.
So, Good news and a lot pretty bad news. I mean, Every good long drawn out project always gets shafted at the last hurdle by a totally incompetent arsehole of a painter, Right?
So I lied, There's not...
Not much of an update, Stillllllll waiting on it being painted 🤦♂️
But anyway, Gearbox is done minus the end cap. Had the casing vapour blaster and ceramic coated, All bolts plated and now has a quaiffe diff! Power steering lines refurbished... Just need to try get the protective heatsheild...
Had the cos 6 and a bit years now i think...its standard power. Big turbo 4x4. Avo coils/spacers/wheels ggr driveshafts and exhaust. Also has matt look silicone hoses...its fairly oem in the grand scheme of things...got it just in time!
The galaxie is around 18 foot long and feels just as wide 😆 have to plan your journeys!
Also had the cossie out for the first time in 2020...took it round the block and back to its bed 🙈 wish there was more time to drive them all...lol
Not posted much in here for a while! Had some issies with the bodysbop...but its nearly done now 🙃
Heres a few other bits i've been working on during lockdown 🤟
Yeah there starting to appreciate here a bit more too with the rareness factor setting in. Dread to think how many I've been through over the years 🙈
The stuff i sent to aus was via speaking to guys on facebook 👍
Good to see you getting a start on it Paul! I think most of the sunflowers that are on a sorn are now getting some form of resto :LOL: mine has been off the road around 5 years now, However its currently getting prepped and painted so all going well I'll have that back shortly.
Look forward to...
Looks like its cleaning up well! Seen a few ph1's from Aus popping up on a few facebook pages recently. When I was out there last month I only managed to see a ph2...lol
Where about are you? I've sent a box of ph1 bits to a bloke up Brisbane way and a box of bits going out to a guy in Melbourne...
Has the car ever had a replacement windscreen? I had a leak for ages on one of my old ph1's. Took the dashtop off and water tested it. It was coming in the windscreen seal and running along the back of the dash and dripping into the footwell.
Good to see you're making a start! Was talking to someone about this a few weeks ago. will be load of these in a few years that are going to be quite tidy. Hopefully mine wont be at the painters too much longer now.
It was never meant to end up like this...once the ball starts rolling its hard to stop lol. I started mine circa 2015/2016 I think...The end is in sight though!
Heres my project thread that's been poorly updated over the years, I'll start to upload more stuff when (if) it ever returns from the...
What are you using on the full underside? I took most of mine back to bare metal/primed and raptord. 2k paint in the wheel arches to make cleaning easier. here's a few pics.
I owned this at one point too! put an engine in it with my mate. Was pretty rough then and that was maybe 5 years ago. I thought it was broken for parts after i last seen it for sale needing work but looks to still be mot'd till feb this year.
Interesting thread to keep an eye on, I'm finding a lot of stuff is now becoming NLA for the ph1, Some stuff has for a while now though.
F1 center caps
Throttle cables! Thankfully I Stocked up on these as I had a hunch they would become nla soon.
