jevvy Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi guys I thought I'd share a few pics of my current project...remember this? Well it had a few niggly bits to sort but had smaller issues with pretty much every panel so got it stripped and painted. Engine had low leakdown on 1 cylinder so out it came Offending failed gasket: Being rebuilt with new P&C and some cams, should be pretty nice once done. Suspension time - everything stripped off the car and torn-down / inspected Hardware sorted and prepared for plating: Parts vapor blasted - came back like new! Genuine cups refurbed, slight tweak to colour Powdercoater wraps stuff better than I wrap gifts! Fan sorted Sorting parts ready for refit As-of today: LOADS left to do but heading in the right direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Vapour blasted then a local place helped out with the finish, pretty happy with it but will see how durable it is. 31 minutes ago, Beaky said: Exactly........................ 26 minutes ago, mean in green said: Have wondered before - how does one remember which fasteners go where when you get a box of ‘em back from the platers..?! Thats why I did the before pic as I had everything in individual bags before giving it to the plater. Thankfully Porsche were very good at using very slight variations in hardware for the different components which helps with the initial sorting then its just a case of sharing the rest out in a lucky dip bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've got to wear gloves to stop greasy fingerprints on all the underside bits too!!! There is one part that's missing - where's the blardy engine man? Is the composite engine tin Rogers?

Yes I'm looking at how best to eliminate any paint damage - going slow seems to be the best option so far with no rushing about. Engine going ok - should have an update soon. Yes tin from the main man, not bad mould but I think I might paint it back as the CF seems a bit out of place. Cleaned some of the bodyshop mess off it yesterday and took a fresh pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenny Senior Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 It's looking smart Jev. Those photos don't do the paint justice. Not moved on too far since last I saw it though. That said, mine would still be parked up if I hadn't farmed the work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, will be going to a new home once complete but I think it will be getting well used I got it done in batches, its not cheap but finish is fantastic. I think for the main chunk of alloy suspension parts it was around £250 then various batches of £50 - £100 depending on how big / grubby they were. I need to come and see you actually as I was going to ask if I could peel those corner weight scales out your hands for a short time to help get the setup spot on - I can arrive with any beer / wine / cheese bribe of your choice. 2 hours ago, Kenny Senior said: It's looking smart Jev.

Yeah been a bit distracted since you were last here - back on this full time again now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
