You can also get a cooling spray supposedly so you rapidly cool the area and thats supposed to work. ive not seen anywhere to buy it though.

Edit, just been looking around, some of the freeze sprays you can get will work, using the can upside down works better supposedly. Heat the area a bit, freeze, heat, freeze and supposedly it work.

Also thinking about it, a co2 air duster upside down sprays out liquid co2. Thats cold.

Hmm, sounds very interesting, Chris. Just worried about the spray on the paintwork/stonechip?

I will show this to Kris and see what he thinks! thank you!

Frankie has both tinted rear windows installed!

(what a pain in the arse job that was! )



He's also got the driver's side front glass, draught excluder, seals and chrome runner in!

(Also, an absolute cow of a job! )

It's amazing how glass makes him look even more like a car!!





Oh - and we think we've sorted the subframe bolt issue! Just need to get my little mits on a tap and die set for the last hole ... (All the others have been done!)




I've bought some rubber carpeting for the middle of the load bay area. I'm going to trim up the sides with black vinyl and use black carpet the edges of the load bay and there will be a runner in the centre of the rubber.

I've got a week left of Uni and then I can start doing all the 'poncy' bits



Oh - And I need to find a 3.1 diff

[Retro_10s]

[Bean]

[Bean]

So so good, it just keeps getting better

Do tints come in grades or levels? if they do, what are yours?

[Bean]

They're dark smoke - Just got them from halfords! There was Limo Black, Dark Smoke and Light Smoke

[Jackman]

Num num num.

LOVE IT

[Bean]

Hehe, you're not the only one, Chris! Just can't wait to get the engine in now! Only the diff holding us back!

[GreaseMonkey]

Looking great Bean,

Are you going to put the subframe in as it is and then the hub/drive assemblies after the engine is in?

Edited by GreaseMonkey, 29 May 2009 - 06:05 PM.

[Bean]

The engine needs to go in before the driveshaft etc - So we'll put that in and then build up the hub assemblies. Then it'll go on the car - Then the brakes on!

[tedmcedd]

looking great! and getting closer!!

[Bean]

Thanks Ed

Slowly but surely, lol

Shopping at BMD, tomorrow - Could be dangerous

[Retro_10s]
