Whatever the cost, fantastic work!

Looking fantastic as always! I love the colour.

That interior paint finish is miles better than the exterior on my car, it looks so good! Lovely colour too.

First class work as always Ben, should look first class when complete! Lucky customer...

Engine bay is now sealed up and painted

 

 

 

And the boot too

 

 

 

I also top coated the insides of the doors to make it easier than trying to get in there when the go on the stands for the outsides to be done

 

 

And then I finally stripped the front sub frame

 

 

 

It's in perfect condition but will be going off to be sandblasted

 

I then made a start on this crusty lot

 

 

Only got as far as these bits and ran out of time 

 

 

I'll get the rest done tomorrow.

 

Cheers

Ben

Am I the only one who jumps on this when Ben puts a post on? I think I’m almost as keen to see this one in paint as the owner!

[JAYSONIC 79 IOW]

Getting excited now seeing it all blue ! Great work Ben cheers

The engine bay and boot simply blows my mind.

[Ben_O]

The next batch of parts are painted

 

 

 

Then I stripped down the front hubs to their component parts.

I put aside the parts I'm not reusing due to the brake conversion and was left with these few parts

 

 

It's going to need cv joints too as they were very bad.

 

The hubs are very corroded and the bearings are bone dry and rusty

 

 

But stripped down and blasted, they are fine

 

 

I'll paint that batch tomorrow once I have blasted the driveshafts and then we are mostly there with the running gear.

 

Cheers

Ben

Great work Ben, can't wait for the next update, the owner must be well pleased with the excellent work.

[JAYSONIC 79 IOW]

Very pleased I only dropped it off to him In July ! It’s flying along great work

[Maccmike8]

What have you painted them with?
