Progress

[Guest docter fox]

before somebody comments on the front suspension not being totally masked up, I decided it would be easier to paint it black again rather than mask off the fiddly bits

 

Chris n, pm on the way...

[Guest chris brown]

Looking good James just don’t get carried away, take your time it will be well worth it in the end. I know what you mean about ventilation just don’t stay in there for too long at a time at each obvious stop point come out and get some fresh air.

[Guest Bazwaz]

The Guy over the road from me sprays coffins so he got me a nice white overall suit type thing

Looking good Doc but as already has been said make sure you get plenty of fresh air.It's easy to get carried away and do "just a bit more" or the guy over the road might be needed.

 

p.s What's this about a bonnet.

Barry.

looking good

[Guest docter fox]

dam you Bill! well... I was hit in the back of the head by the hood bonnet although unlike Bills incident, the bonnet was in the back of the clio at the time, I did a bit of evasive braking and got a thwack on the head so I don't like that bonnet anymore so I made a new one

 

I'll be sure to take lots of fresh air in as I can still smell paint even now wish me luck

[Guest Battery Bill]

Sorry James but you had to let the world know

 

What a job "Spraying Coffins" Its a dead end Job but Nobodys going to complain about his work then

[Guest docter fox]

he was very helpful

 

although I appear to have used all the blue paint

[Guest docter fox]

these were taken earlier so it's still a bit wet but managed not to get any runs just have to see what colour it is when it's dried

[Guest docter fox]

nose cone and bonnet

[Guest stu205]

just have to see what colour it is when it's dried

I bet its blue!!!!!!!

 

looking good though

[Guest docter fox]

I was thinking it might have been a slightly different shade of blue

[Longboarder]

Must depend to some extent on what colour you bought!

Great to be making progress. Filled and bled the brakes Wednesday. Pic shows where most of the brake fluid ended up. :angry: :boohoo: So I made new front brakelines yesterday and its all dry today.

I'm just in, waiting while the bleeding stops :boohoo: after a spanner slipped off an engine mount bolt. :angry:

Looks like "Ribena Blue" to me

[Guest docter fox]

It's remarkebly similar to the dark blue on a chocolate hobnob packet

 

glad to hear you got things sorted Nigel, it's a good feeling when something goes right but why were you undoing the mounts

[Longboarder]

At a loose end and just going round it checking things were tight! They were!
