hodge Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Spent alot of time last night and today on the engine bay. Plattening it off and priming it. heres the 1st pics from last night. All the holes have filled really well. im pleased with the results. And now the work ive done this morning. The A/C hole has been totally covered and smoothed. It really looks like it was never there. I was concerned about this as I wasnt that confident in my filling skills as ive always been rubish at it in the past but you really cant tell it was ever there after priming. This is where the A/C pipes should come from the bulkhead. Ive just left the primmer to dry for the rest of the day now. So nothing else going on with the car until tomorrow.

hodge Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 That's looking really good! Cheers mark. I've just been in and checked on it and it's dried really nice. So I thought I'd stick another tin of primer on it just for luck. That's bow 5 full tins of primer in the engine bay. Well I guess you can never have enough primer on the car LOL.

pistonbroke Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Toothed, or de-toothed, I think both look amazing. Great work hodge, I can't see how you find the time to get anything else done. You're dedication is unmatched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Like this? http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h75/suprastar54/Tessers%20Pics/SwedishRebuild21.jpg That supra is absolutely stunning. The only thing is IMO a supra without a spoiler is like a gypsies dog without a nob, it's just wrong LOL. But seriously if I can achieve something like that I'll be very happy. Yes, maybe even the outer teeth aswell, although it's mostly the centre one which looks a little out of place I think your right Jay if I remove the middle 1 the 2 end ones will have to go too. Toothed, or de-toothed, I think both look amazing. Great work hodge, I can't see how you find the time to get anything else done. You're dedication is unmatched. It wouldn't have progressed so fast if I wasn't off work with a dust foot. It's more bordom that anything else. Although I would love to do it for a living.

hodge Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Struggling with motivation today and is has blasted down with snow all last night, but eventually after dinner I thought sod it lol. My old engine is looking sorry for itself at the side of the garage. Even though in good old Consett the posty still mate his rounds and delivered this little baby. 1st job today was to sand down all the high spots on the engine bay. after that I wiped it all down with a we cloth so when I put the final coat of primer on its nice and flat. While it was drying I decided to fit the rear strut brace and do the earthing harness for the battery and the amplifiers. After fitting the strut brace ive put the final coat of primer on the engine bay and left it to dry. So all done til tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
