Looks really good dude,now get it built up :)
just read the thread,savage amount of proper work has been done,!! kudos to you sir :)
Underside looks good now Iain - I think I'm going to Gravitex the underside of my Mk1 (We use that at my work and it looks cool and is also overpaintable) :)
I look forward to seeing more pictures
Underside looks well Iain
at least it'll look good upside down when you roll it on track lol only joking mate, cracking work - get it done - get it out on the black stuff!
i had this problem with mine cracking, aparantly you should only put one layer on. Also try and keep it out of sun Excess heat because if its a thick later the top goes of before the bottom and crack :)
That's at least four years away, will be rusty again by then lolQuote:

Talking of rust, some was creeping back through in the engine bay. Primer and seam sealer wasn't up to the job so I've bare metal'd the areas (and potential areas):

Which have now been prepped and painted with that POR15 stuff.
Also while it's been rainy finished cleaning out my CV joints (second hand inners and 22 spline shafts, and new outer CV joints), painting everything up nice, regreasing and building back up:

Proper CV joint clamps fitted:

And refitted the weight with new bolts, although not entirely sure what this does:

Thought the bay was all done?
Shafts look great.
I had taken the rust back to bare metal and etch primered/normal primered/seam sealered, but rust spots were showing through the primer again around the areas shown. Hopefully should be sorted now!
I did a shoddy job on bay prep anyway so will be sanding most of the primer in there off lol Good times
