LOST MOTIVATION AT THE MOMENT, I THINK ONE HALF OF MY BRAIN IS SAYING DONT SPEND ANY MORE MONEY ON IT, AND THE OTHER HALF IS THINKING HOW TO MANUFACTURE PARTS INSTEAD OF BUYING THEM. ITS A BIT LIKE WRITERS BLOCK.

JUST BUSY DOING SERVICING AND REPAIRS AT THE MO

IT FUNNY HOW PROJECTS CAN JUST STOP

HOWEVER ITS NOT GOING ON EBAY YET AS AN UNFINISHED PRO.

Aha motivated again





Spent the last six weeks preping the doors,boot and fiberglass front ready for paint.
The shell was painted before the conversion was fitted and i left the cosmetic things like doors till later.
I bought 5ltrs of ford diamond white just to make sure every thing was the same color, 3ltrs used on the shell.
I am by no means a spray painter simply because i have never picked a spray gun up in my life.
After a lot of reading and obtaining a devilbiss spray gun and 99% preparation there it is (mate offers me a job painting) no runs ripples and like a mirror well pleased with it.
Next stage to paint the seam covers and cut the front arches in half for the flip front.

[koss]

Front arches done, just cut them in half, formed some stainless steel strip to reinforce the join


Acquired some alloy sheet on saturday





And the last of the painting


Still trying to workout the hinge on the flip front

yes done some work for a guy who works in a aluminium warehouse very handy, he,s busy clearing out the scrap. The door cards are 1.5mm and i have a guilotine, so dead easy.

He also gave me these, exhausts for track days or header tanks maybe
