Rob_Mitchell Posted July 16, 2011 Author Share Posted July 16, 2011 Relocated my alarm system today just needs wiring in and the unit mounting under the wing. Got the front panel all welded up so no unwanted holes visible like the battery clamp hole for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 This is taking longer than i thought, so much work involved in losing every hole and plating the larger holes up. I might start filler work later today and im hoping to get the bay all degreased and in primer by next week. Anyway all the rubber sealant is now removed and everything is ready for the filler/smoothing work to happen. I will get there in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 All pressure washed down with a degreaser now, its looking mint, never realised the ammount of crap which hides away in all the nooks and crannies. Going to start filler work tomorrow Be in full primer by friday and ill order the colour up monday for painting near the end of the week.

Rob_Mitchell Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well filler work has started and monster energy is 99p a can, so i unleashed the beast today and overdosed. Going to look mad once its all done and im still hoping to get it in full high build primer tomorrow. couple of quick snaps- excuse the rubbing down dust, everything is being done by hand.

Rob_Mitchell Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 good stuff:cool: Cheers mate, prob looks a bit rough to most members, but 3-4 coats of high build primer and then fill in any rough bits (visible spot welds ect)with a decent stopper it should look cool. Roll on tomorrow i cant wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
