Still got these ?

Yes buddy

Just you wait my friend, I've been a busy little bee recently! 😁

The next few bits were kind of finishing off bits. Re lacquered headlight fitted. Then I gave the whole car a good coat of wax. I noticed that there was no heat protection to the underside of the petrol tank whilst doing final checks. Fitted a handheld extinguisher, and grip tape to the...

Figured I best do an update.... So after the candy carbon badges I decided to flush the coolant system As you can see it was pretty grim!! I use a tool called a Snap on Rad kit plus, you vacuum the cooling system to -25psi leave it for 1 minute to vacuum check for leak and then open a tap...

Update Horn was corroded connections on the horn. Fog lights was a white wire broken on the selector stork

Horn and front wipers have stopped working. Totally stock 172. Rear wiper still works and washer jets still work. Fuses all OK so I'm lost now... Any help/ideas appreciated Thanks Mike

Later that day after work I refitted the canards And then I moved on to something a bit special. I have been playing around with the carbon hydrodip using different base colours and also candy red tint. I wanted to try and do the diamonds in candy red carbon so I gave it a go and this is the...

On to the washer bottle. It had the larger bottle for the headlight washers. so I bought a cup one and a new washer motor. Because I have the fibre glass bonnet now the washer jets never fit properly so i decided to mount them on the wipers. I bought a kit from Ebay which clips straight onto...

🤣 gives it that race car look, plus work 'donated' them so beggars cant be choosers

Now that the paint was dry I dropped it down onto wheel stands. So I could get to the jacking points which were sat on the lift previously. Etch primer, seam sealer and hammered silver to finish. After Croft last time I managed to ruin a brand new front wheel bearing so again a new one was...

I know tell me about It. Will be easy to keep on top of though.

Next we need to tone its belly up! It has been covered in waxoil/underseal to help with anti corrosion but doesnt scream race car. See below I started by stripping the underside components off to clear the way. I got out the slow panelwipe and red scotch brite and scrubbed the waxoil within an...

Next job was clearly the bonnet. Started by test fitting it. I had lined the wings up to the steel bonnet and headlights first and the bolted the fibreglass one on It's not perfect but it never will be as it's not steel but atleast it's got no dents... or so I thought 🤦‍♂️ turns out there must...

Headlights were next. Usual faded foggy clio lenses. I flatted them with 1500 wetNdry then finished them off with a wet 3000 Trisact on the DA sander. Masked the main body of the headlight off. Adhesion promoter and 2 coats of Lacquer. Look brand new. And whilst I was fitting them Rob @CCF...

Next I tried something new after watching many, many, many YouTube videos. I wanted to try the door bullets mod. So I got my bullets and sanded the raised lettering off using 80grit, 180grit, 240grit then 400. I primered them in black high build primer, flatted them off with 800 wet and...

I skimmed over a couple of things in that last post which I thought I should address. The door Lexan windows I cleaned up and machine polished to revive them before I built them up as they were a bit scratchy. The sills where the skirt rivets go I waxoiled and then waxoiled the rivet heads...

I just called them and asked and they said yea no problem

Thanks guys, shes a labour if love! More to follow

The rear brakes came back from Biggred just in time to finish the rear axle off. I added Carbon Loraine CL5+ rear pads and ran the proline braided lines back to them. Really happy with the overall look and finish with it. I ran the new handbrake cables, fitted the wheels and dropped it back...

I could give it a go if you wanted. Grille wouldnt look to clever though

As in hydrodip the interior panels? All of them?

You want me to do you some bullets?

If they are in good condition with no repairs and it's just a quick buzz off with 500 and a grey scotch then 250/300ish

Northloopcup role centre kit will add 5mm each side to the track width and sort the problem also and whilst correcting the bump steer and role centre of the vehicle

Its is green 🤷‍♂️

Ok that gives me more of an idea, straps bought already

Enjoy

I know what you are saying but this silver in the sun light is pretty special. I really like it. It will hold better value/resale not in a lairy bold colour.
