Barks Posted 4December, 2015 Report Share Posted 4December, 2015 Love your work Jeff, as a fellow (amateur) airbrusher I gotta say that's a great job!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 4December, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 4December, 2015 (edited) Thanks. PM me some of your work. I would love to see it. As I said in the video that was my full time gig for 13 years, and although before I did it for a job I used to do heaps of artwork for myself, since I have retired from it that is the first time I have done anything. Now I am funneling my creative juices into my car . Edited 4December, 2015 by MFX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 17December, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 17December, 2015 Ok, after a wait for the lift table and then having issues downloading from the Gopro, I have the engine out.https://youtu.be/Q_S9YdCO0_g Scott930, turboT, TE911 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 17December, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 17December, 2015 Thanks, I did some searching on youtube, etc and couldn't find any complete engine removal tutorials, so I thought some might find this useful, even if they are just considering attempting it for the first time. tk111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poli84 Posted 17December, 2015 Report Share Posted 17December, 2015 Another great job Jeff. You're like my new favourite TV show, waiting anxiously for the next episode. Hope there isn't a big break between seasons without any progress, I like a series where the story line starts and finishes in the one season like True Detective or Fargo. Keep them coming.

Haha, I love that. Well I have no plans on slowing down the progress (or videos ).I received a couple of big boxes from Mike Tankard yesterday, so I will be starting to film the next "episode" soon Edited 17December, 2015 by MFX symsy and TE911 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvs11 Posted 18December, 2015 Report Share Posted 18December, 2015 Ok, after a wait for the lift table and then having issues downloading from the Gopro, I have the engine out.https://youtu.be/Q_S9YdCO0_gNice work, Jeff. It looks so much easier using the table instead of a jack. One thing, as you start to lift he car off the engine, once the weight is off the mounts pull the engine rearward to bring the shift linkage shaft clear of the opening in the body. It looks like you got hung up there and it dropped suddenly when gravity took over. Hopefully the shaft didn't get bent. btw nice TD. It looks the goods in black.

Actually I edited out a bit, as I went up and down a few times. The drop is just an editing quirk ;). I hope I haven't bent the shaft (I don't think so).

MFX Posted 28January, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 28January, 2016 (edited) Well I have been busy learning some more new skills. I was forced into it when I started stripping down the doors, which I thought were not too bad, and found a heap of rust. I have subsequently learnt how to cut out and treat rusted areas, and make weld in rust repair patches. I think it went pretty well. I am definitely not at the file finish level, but the finished product I think is not too bad and should only need a minimal amount of body filler to finish it off nicely for paint. Here is the latest video of my journey. Edited 28January, 2016 by MFX Scott930, itsujack, SteveT and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
