IDO Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 little gay touches go a long way.. hahaha.. sorry.. looking forward to seeing the finished bay, Robs work is always quality and Dean always makes good choices with all his cars so i am sure this will end up a good build! I'll happily take any spare parts left over Dean!! Rob I still must get my motor to you for a tidy when i've sorted a few other bits.. good luck with the rest of the build, looking forward to seeing the results.

Rob_Mitchell Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 Plastics will get painted tomorrow, as the manifold blew all my spare time today. Got some nice ideas for the plastics inc a nice airbrushed DAW logo in purple pearl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I didnt know you could paint the crank pulley. It's only metal and rubber. It won't effect anything if you paint it. Just as long as the hole in the centre doesn't get paint in your laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 I didnt know you could paint the crank pulley. It was painted gloss blue, so needs to go black now. As john said, just got to mask the inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
