gettin' ma tan onn....

Yeh man, shouldn't empty it because it needs fluid for lubrication but can't be full either, so a turn of the wheels lock to lock to bleed it a little is the go apparently.....

Got to finishing off the interior panels that I started ages ago! haha, pleased with how they've turned out, they've been a labour of love that's for sure...... I tell you though, these hard plastic bits a so brittle, that damn clamshell has cracked on me a couple of times now :mad: So i'm going to be EXTRA careful with it now that it's done :/

Also i've been continuing to polish and paint various items, most of which will reveal too much but here's a taste :)

I drilled out the rivets on the inline water filler cap so that I could polish the body up and also dismantled the catch can to paint the body. The two domed items are strut top finishers though i've managed to misplace one of the "discs" :( currently trying to get the guy to send me a replacement out :/ ...

You've got a sixth sense for these finishing touches man.

and those finishing touches are where all the hours go... Can't wait to see what you've been working on. All your work looks quality too!

Can't wait yo see your work in person

Nice man, says a lot about your dedication. As Dylan8 said, i would love to see this in person. Very impressed.

appreciate it guys, cheers :)

I picked up the rad support and tails from Ben (<-champ) after a polish so the front end is all back together and tails are replaced, check those off!

Also for those reading this thread, i'll sell my Hella All Reds to the highest bidder here, starting @99c. They're not perfect, they've had the inner amber lense removed from the indicators, chip in one (siliconed up), a crack on the top of the black plastic, a scratch down the side and i'll leave the tint strip on there so you can remove or use it at your will. should be able to see all that in the pics.....


The "new" tails were standard CL items, sanded smooth, all red tinted, black tinted center and 2k cleared. I belive they're much nicer looking than the hella items, more of a cherry red and super shiney!
