Foyley Posted 28April, 2015 Report Share Posted 28April, 2015 I know most here are always interested in projects and how they are progressing so here are a couple of my girl as we are progressing. Ive started with the engine! full rebuild ground up and almost ready to go back in the car this weekend after I finish the wiring loom rebuild. The engine bay has been fully stripped and painted ready for the engine to go back in, then from here she goes off to paint for a full re-spray! A lot of work already done but a lot more to come with our aim to have it ready for November drive to Tassi! Ill post more pictures as I progress!

TINGY Posted 28April, 2015 Report Share Posted 28April, 2015 Hey Foyley what have you painted your engine with, i'm assuming it's painted not media blasted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foyley Posted 28April, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 28April, 2015 Stephen Engine is painted with heat proof paint with heat proof clear over the top! it will be interesting to see if it lasts? Painted engine bay in the same two pack from the factory if this helps! I asked a lot of professionals and they all gave very similar advice!

Foyley Posted 14May, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 14May, 2015 Team as of this week we now have life in the old girl! Sorry the Video quality is not that good! Now time to strip out the body to send her off to a full body paint. She should look fantastic when we get her back and reassembled. http://s725.photobucket.com/user/thewaves221/media/IMG_0017_zpsumvyb9xc.mp4.html?sort=3&o=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzJustin Posted 24May, 2015 Report Share Posted 24May, 2015 Looking good Daryl. Keep us posted on how the paint job turns out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvs11 Posted 24May, 2015 Report Share Posted 24May, 2015 Making good progress. I'd hate to see your hard work spoiled. Make sure your engine bay is PROPERLY covered and put some old wheels on for the paint job. Overspray gets in, even with the best efforts of your paint shop.

Rob Posted 16June, 2015 Report Share Posted 16June, 2015 The front bumper sure looks like it's been in the wars! On at least one other car, by the colours showing... Looking forward to seeing the finished result. Bring to Cars & Coffee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foyley Posted 17June, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 17June, 2015 I will do Rob! The front bar had more paint than plastic and yes appears to have had several lives in the past! But now she is fully back to base and will start a fresh as primer, filler and Gaurds Red!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
