Looks good Sumith.

In our countries the term "oil primer coat" is called solvent-based paint also known as oil-based but more commonly called alkid-base. As opposed to water-based paints.

Hi a12datto120y

the whole car was not the bare metal , but some areas that body work was done ,
First i out a oil primer coat for the whole car and then sanded it with fine grit 400 ,and then put a filler on it



thanks

Thanks!

i have bought OEM 55046-H5001 Bushes instead of OEM 55044-H5001 Useless day of Sunday went all over the places couldn't find them,finally decided to go for 55046-H5001 and cut extra rubber from inside to make it little bigger inner diameter.

Wow! nice job your doing there Sumith, lots of work.
Keep it up mate you will love the car when its finished and be proud that you rebuilt it. :)

Nice work!

The extra weight should not hurt the effectiveness of the brakes.

Hi Guys

Since Front Brake Pistons are not in good shape i decided to make them new,I want to Create Front Break cylinders Pistons like this,
i have already got one done by friend of mine this is little more weight than factory level Pistons, will it work without any problem ?
