thanks very much!!!! im glad some one realises the effort and time im putting into this project ,it has become part of my life style now making as much time as i can spare to get more and more done,
i apreciate comments like this,thanks possum1200

I have a few questions.
What kind of clear do you use on your polished alluminium? I had always been led to belive that you need to use like etch primer on aluminium to make the paint stick on account of it oxidising so quickly.

And also, with the brake parts you have painted up so nicely that they put my whole car to shame, wont the high temprature of the brake dust etc burn/discolour this paint?

no worrys there mate,
ok 2 pak clear is being used for my virous parts,no need for an etch its sticks like #### to a blanket ,as for the brake parts ,there done in 2pak also this stuff wont discolour or fade and can handle temperates well,
hope that answers your question mate

Cheers.

not a problem there mate

so any way i was in work today and i really only went in to tidy up yesterdays mess ,but ended up doing a bit of fidling in the engine bay!!! so i thought id share a few shots what i did this morning ......

so basicly ive started to paint strip the engine bay ,now if you could see the state of the engine bay you would understand the amount of work i have to do !!! but heres a few shots of the paint stripping process...................

ok so heres the bay at the start this morning setting up for the strip.......




and heres the set up ,ive put plastic around the sides so can pull it over the stripper when im ready............




and here ive slammed on abit of stripper and then pulled the plastic over the top of it all,any one who has played with stripper will know how much this stuff is a bitch to use ,very messy ,it burns like any thing and is a pain to clean up ,so yeah thats where i was up to.....







and these are the pics of the plastic all covering the bay ,should hopefully work ......




and heres what i managed to get off,ill probably have to do another pass ,especaily on the fire wall ,due to the last guy spraying stoneguard on there,!!!!!!!!why why why would you do that ??????????????????
















and heres the rad support notice the damage,not too worry its going and is gona be replaced with a brand new one

man the quality of your work is ridiclous. cant wait to see it all complete, but i reckon ull keep it. putting in all this effort and selling it i dont think anyone could make themself do it

keep up with all the good work
