tazzieman Posted 30June, 2017 Report Share Posted 30June, 2017 @tazzieman this is how your grey car was going to end up if it had not been stalled by problems..... You wouldn't be seen dead (or alive) in a bright coloured car Adam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANF Posted 30June, 2017 Report Share Posted 30June, 2017 You wouldn't be seen dead (or alive) in a bright coloured car Adam!I have had bright cars before and my favourite car colour is Speed Yellow It may have hindered resale value, but then again eventually it does need a respray....

Pork Chops Posted 10July, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 10July, 2017 Engine fan and shroud coated. Mines the 2 tone one and I'm not sure I like it that much...It'll do. Fan looks a little average too but hard to tell until I've seen it in the flesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teutonic Posted 10July, 2017 Report Share Posted 10July, 2017 Assume "coated" is powder coated ? Just about to head down the same path. Be interested to hear what you think. Was thinking black shroud silver fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pork Chops Posted 11July, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 11July, 2017 Assume "coated" is powder coated ? Just about to head down the same path. Be interested to hear what you think. Was thinking black shroud silver fan. Ceramic coated.Bottom one looks mint, can't say i would be happy with the top one.Top one is mine. Thx for the support So the shell isn't as good as I'd hoped. Rear guards needed rebuilding, one part of the rear floorpan needed replacing, and rust through the front end of the floorpan near the pedal box. Also rust where the battery sits but this all got cut out for the longhood conversion. Least it's making progress...Cars eh? Who do them.Dead rear floorpan Front floorpan and frunk area repair and longhood conversion Rear guard rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. Cheers,any reason for a ceramic v a powder coat for the fan? Aesthetics. Ceramic coat is much much thinner and therefore the parts do not look coated, plus the look is much better in terms of the colours, sheen etc. IMHO.

Teutonic Posted 13July, 2017 Report Share Posted 13July, 2017 Thanks re coating. Spoke to my engine builder and he wasn't a fan of powder coating either. There is a local guy that does different coatings for the aviation industry he feels are more durable and suitable. Glad I asked the question.
