Piers Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 thanks Joe At a later date the engine will all come back out again as i want to get the engine bay a lot smoother, so remove the battery tray, get rid of all of the wire clips, minimal amount of sealant on joints so its not all over the place, blank off any holes that i dont use etc...

Piers Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Collected a few nice parts last night its moving quickly now! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted February 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 started tidying the lights up last night...im going to start cleaning the engine up in the next few weeks, i cant rip the car to bits properly until its all been painted so as soon as its all blue the big progress will begin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Posted February 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 started stripping the engine over the weekend and did a bit more last night. Ordered some high temperature paint which should be here today/tomorrow if all goes well. Collecting a few more bits tonight from Brad, off to drop the kart engines off tomorrow for tuning... busy week!Also arranging a date with my painter for when it can go up again, he will be doing the arches and then painting the rest of the car and helping me put the doors etc back on. i can then concentrate on making it look like a car again and get the glass back in and bumpers on.
