Project '96 Refurb

[willg54]

I'm going to drop the servo line off later once its all cooled down and see what happens.

Thanks to everyone for their help through this project, couldn't have done it without your help!

Going for a nice drive tomorrow but no other chances to drive it till next weekend. Upgrades won't be till winter, time to enjoy it!

small update on my recent antics!

I've steam cleaned the gearbox and started painting it up





Painting of the engine bay, drivers side done, passenger side nearly done.





Painted the cross brace but ran out of paint...more on the way!!



Here are the fuel lines looking nice and pretty! (for those keen eyed...the steering rack still isnt in finally and the bulkhead seal will go in!)

Minor Tweaking is still needed

What paint did you use for this and where did you buy it out of interest?

[willg54]

It was just rattle can paints. Got them from paints4u.co.UK I didn't fancy going down the 2pack route

Ah cheers, what is the finish like in the engine bay and on the slam panel?

[willg54]

As good as the effort you put into prepping and finishing.

I didn't smooth the engine bay too much as it wasn't needed

Count me as another bloke who sat and read the whole way through your build thread, front to back.

Hats off to you, sir!

[willg54]

Nope they're from National Auto - take a look at this thread:

Wouldn't be surprised if National Auto supplied Black Diamond disks! These were only £90 a pair you can choose what groove pattern you want, coatings etc, ordered them through Camskill.co.uk

Black diamonds are/were the best part of £200, thats what i paid for mine, a few years ago mind.

[willg54]

if you google the code that National Autos use for these discs, you'll find them being sold for £240+ doubt they'll be any different!
