as promised above another update is here.
today was all about tidying the bay / front under-carriage as the subframe is away being sorted. So i was armed with various paints, my autoglym engine and machine degreaser and an away of cleaning apparatus, i am not going to bore you with before and after shots of everything as there is just no point...
So front end off, including lights, tucked all wires etc out of the way and started cleaning working from drivers side across... this included all chassis bits, engine block, pipes, hoses, sump, mounts etc etc
Once i had cleaned all i then set about the various painting jobs,
first up was the cross member, those who have been through the thread will know i cut this and welded it back together to allow more room for the airbox, also as the car will be going a different colour i didn't want this showing through so it was treated to a coat of satin black, next up was in and around the engine bay, some touch ups of paint on the block, then a nice coat on the gearbox mount all with VHT paint.
and then lastly with a nice thick brush and a tin of hammerite smooth i got to work painting the inner arches, as mentioned this car will be going a different colour so i don't want the old titanium coming through in the arches, hammerite smooth is perfect for this and will be easy to clean off, happy days and job done..
and here she is waiting for the subframe to come back....
i will also give the brakes another coat after i have fitted the new carbon lorraines, then the rear beam will also get a coat before the ARB goes on.... but thats for another day.
