Iain's 20XE Trackday Nova

Benn... I mean Iain, the polished top mounts are a bit Blingy!!! :cool:

Nice work :)

Thanks all.

More painting and getting parts ready the last few nights. Front coilovers came out very well:

Rear coilover is having the same Hammerite smooth black treatment:

Ran out of space so made a DIY vice with some molegrips lol Rear strut body needed etch primer for the Hammerite to bond:

Also figured the backing plates to my drums should get the powdercoat treatment. So a quick guide to stripping down a drum!

Start with drum, pop off centre cap and undo bearing nut in the middle:

Prise off drum to leave this (minus stub axle that simply comes out once the 4 bolts are undone):

Two of these to twist free to remove the shoes. On:

Prise this spring from under the retaining bit:

And off comes the rear shoes complete with sawn off handbrake cable:

Hahaha he asked me how to do i tho...lol

Yeah etch sticks on nice so hopefully the Hammerite won't flake! Pics are mainly for my reference for rebuilding them tbh! They're not too complicated though.

It's true I asked for polishing tips, Benn is the bling guru lol

*Does a lil wave*

Will the paint on the body/threads of the coilovers not hinder the adjustment and be scraped off as you assemble them?
