Re: My Ph1 172 track sl*g Progress Thread
Right a bit more has been done (seems slow but im working a 60 hour week this week)
I eventualy got hold of my new rear discs and have everything i need to renew the rear brakes so took off the old (very rusty) ones.
While i was doing that my apprentice/dogs body for the day modified/cut down the front wheel arch liners to cover the important bits. As they had been rubbing the wheels at some stage and couldn't be put back on normaly. Cable ties ftw
Whilst jacking the car up and swapping wheels around we managed to bend the tailgate against my bay window
Ooopps!
Didnt quite finish the brakes coz I managed to break one of the bearing deflector washers, Doh! 6 quid and a weeks wait from Reno, should have it by the weekend.
Needed to paint some interior parts, window switch pods etc so rubbed them down........
Made up a little temporary spray booth in the van at lunch and gave them a few coats of plastic primer.....
(Real bad pics)
Paint...........
Didnt come out too well in the cold, went a bit grey in places. so rubbed them down and finished in a mates warm garage next to the heater............
Decided to do the mirror covers as well, as they were quite badly scratched. Didn't have any Titanium paint so did them black too.
Not sure about them yet, they are on the car now (pic soon) but if it looks s**t I'll do them again in silver.
Wheels next.............
Thats two primed and ready, just need to prep the other two................................... easier said then done, the rusty one proved to be hard work....
Not quite finished it yet, got fed up with it......
Hopefully will get a bit more done this weekend....
