well bit of a slow day today
we seam sealered the the welded seams etc to day at 9.am this moring was supposed to go roud to be painted this after noon but i think due to the fact it was so cold the seam sealer was only just starting to set at 5pm this evening so will have to be tommorw or monday for paint now :cry:
everything was masked off whilst rubbing down and priming the rack is loose and will be removed for paining when at body shop

but whilst the seam sealer was setting we painted all four arches and the whole underside of the car 15 year protection better then your usual underseal!
battery died on phone so the pics are during the painting process the struts were removed after these pics to get in behind and up inside the turrets :) suspension is just temporary untill my coilovers arrive

will get better pics tomorrow before the shock absorbers etc are refitted and when its dry a second coat will be added added aswell
Looking good all underneath painted mate - Did it take long to do ?
Your thread confuses me, whose typing? Kris or Gary? lol
Either way - looking stonking, very neat application of seam sealer :thumb:
Did you weld the seams insides the arches? Looking good.
:thumb:yeah all painted underneath took a few hours will be doing another coat todayQuote:

its me kristan than usually posts up the progress (its pretty much a joint effort maybe more so on my part as my brother is relatively new to all this and is an electrician by trade and i am a mechanic etc but it is his car and his ideas for the build i just help it happen sooner rather than later lol) i user my user as garys (my twin brothers) internet isnt working at present thats the reason for thw 2 wip threads on the same user sorry for the confusion glad you like though olly :thumb:
yeah benn the seams have all be welded and the full strengthening plates added, didnt feel the need to seam sealer inside the wheel arches painting is more than enough in my opinion:thumb:
Nice build so far. One concern, is the F28 mount welded to the chassis plate or the chassis leg? Wouldn't want that to tear off with the plate!
its half welded on the the leg itself and half on to the plate!
i am confident the plate will not come off it has been welded heavily, considering the std mount had 4 spot welds i dont think it will come off in a hurry
Good work.
The hammerite smooth blue is a good match.
