Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

I like this car and i like your garage!

Cheers, when I first joined your Ph1 Flamer gave me inspiration for this one

Lol. Herbertez would be right. It's worse than polishing it. I'm cleaning bits to then paint them. My old man always said, if it's worth doing, do it properly. But he'd have a fit if he saw me painting stuff! You can talk, I hear you have gone all cosmetic

Cheers Jacob! Hopefully it will be blatting around tracks next summer like it should be

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

So you've got a garage to attract ginger midgets to work away at your car like elves in the night?

Well played, Sir.

I am supremely jealous of your garage/man cave !

 

[Cub.]

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

Cheers all I plan to spend most of my Sunday in the man cave.
TimR26, cheers for the offer, today is mostly painting which is pretty much a one man job. But...I am hoping to put aero catches on it which I will require assistance from you and Christopher. x

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

Failsport have a vacancy for a Senior Technician.

You fit the bill.

Apply within (ahem)

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

[Tim.]

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

At your age you'll probably have to sit down.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

Rocking chair and give directions, sounds good to me. Where do I sign.

 

[Cub.]

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

FLOL! When you sign, we'll let you scrawl a 'X'.

PS Tony Hunter - no rocking chairs, will scratch the floor old boy.

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

Further progress made last night. Thanks to Chip-mk1 who came over to remove the 438 cams and kindly educate me further! Was good to catch up mate, shame we were so late we couldn't get some proper fodder in.

Overall I am still revelling in being able to work on the car myself, and soaking up as much technical know-how / guidance from friends as I can. Last night was another great chance to learn a few key things about the F4r and dismantling one / putting it back together

Piccies;

Getting started;

Progress, including oil draining, coolant draining, engine mount off, jacking the engine up from below, loosening up the slam panel etc etc

Pulley / cam locking tool in situ;

So thats what a set of 438's looks like in place

And the obligatory Chip photo. Thumbs up from the chipipedia

Up next - persuading Mike Woodford to do a leak down on the new engine, before its cleaned and painted. And Budgie and Nick172Cup are coming over to do a removal job of the old one on 14th Dec

The old one will then become a coffee table.

 

[Scrooge]

Re: Cub 172's Flamer Project

Happy Days!

Has Chip-mk1 trimmed up a bit?
