[quote=vaughanmc]Really no need to paint the engine bay on the MK1 IMO - Very very clean and original, one day it'll get painted though :) /quote]
the bay is good on it. Even better if your just spraying the outside the same colour. That said, wouldn't take long to do when its all stripped out - will save a lot of hassle in the future stripping it all down again.
Nah I say leave the bay as is, keeps an element of originality or honesty about the car. Similarly I like how spanishflys looks with the newly painted wings on his fire damaged car, in which the rest of the body was unscathed.
spot on mate btw quick noob question you say 1.3 t40 what does the t40 stand for is it size of carb??? baffled
T - Twin
40 - The size of the carbs mate aye :)
T45, T48 etc (For example)
The bay wouldn't need much to paint it but I'm going to leave it as it is I think, looks absolutely perfect condtion
Any idea when you will be getting it painted ?
Or when it will be on the road ?
Painted - I have no idea mate, going to try and do as much of the prep work myself (Back arches aren't far away, doors are pretty much done, hopefully getting a vented bonnet of VxKev - Still need to source 2 New or Mint front wings for it) No rush for it to be painted
On the road - I have no idea mate, I'd love it done for Billing '11 but you never know
No great rush for this one to be done - Steeper learning curve than the Mk2 Nova, just going to take my time with it
Best way is not to rush, otherwise you'll only end up doing things twice over.
Aye your right mate - Just going to take my time with it
I want all the mechanical stuff done (Engine in and running) Get the car driving, source some 2.0 16v front brakes, make sure all the steering is in tact, give everything underneath a lick of paint to make it look nice then concentrate on the bodywork
Seems like a massive project but everything is pretty much there for it just wee silly things needed but my mate Colin Smith will come in handy for odds and ends lol
i had ma hands all over ur car the day havin a right good nosey lol
lol Greg was saying, what u think about it then ?
No bad for £100 lol
