Thanks, that is what I was thinking, as the body will be a two-tone I can have the rockers in one with the other colour as a highlight on the inner part of the fins etc. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

De-gunking the engine is not the most glamorous job in the world....but worth doing. Keep at it. Watching with interest.

Never had one, my Capri has the 205 block pinto Whistle
He has acquired a set of twin 40dcoe webbers for it so I don't think it will be a standard engine for long Thumbs Up

Speaking of carbs has anyone got the answer I posed the other day reference the SU carb inlet pipe having snapped? 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

So a long time since this has had an update due to work.

Shinny pic time:

As the fixing of Jas took 10min I decided I can crack on with this Very Happy

The chassis out, I crawled all over it armed with my file and removed all the sharp pointy galv bits. I have a locker in work brimmed with various bits for this chassis:
Paint - check
Primer - check
Copious amounts of cavity wax - yep
T-wash.......T-wash?? Where has that gone?? Brilliant new order placed and should be here tomorrow so I shall hopefully have this T-washed tomorrow and primered a little later in the week.

As the lack of T-wash halted the chassis plans I moved onto these take off springs I nabbed of eBay for £50 delivery miles only and gave them a coat of stone chip just to give them a nice fresh coat and hide the scratches etc.

So hopefully this rebuild should move on a little bit over the next week or so. 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

Oh the rest of it is still one main body on the old chassis etc but as the chassis is here I'm going to get a rolling chassis going and then can transfer bits across. Just need to find cash for the rest of the shopping list Big Cry

I have possibly sourced a second hand bulkhead that just has some slightly rusty floor plates so a massive improvement on mine and a lot cheaper as it was going in the bin Whistle 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html

So once my T-wash was sorted and the chassis dry it was time to primer Very Happy

A shuffle round of the chassis location into the hanger so I could keep it heated over night resulted in running over my toe with the engine lift ( Censored that hurt). Still got it in and a tarp on the floor so I keep the boss happy.

All started well with a good finish, I am using 1k etch primer absolutely great stuff, then I got to this stage about half done:

And after constantly upping the air through the gun it eventually died, ok maybe the industrial compressor we have doesn't build air up quickly I will have a cold drink and wait a min or two, check the gauge and less than .5 of a bar...... Banging Head Censored Censored guess it's throwing a hissy fit.

So a shout out to a few mates and one had a small compressor he can loan me, bonus! So it took a little longer than I planed and short bursts due to a smaller compressor but here it is all primered and sitting in a heated workshop for the next two ish days to allow the paint to cure.

Happy I have got to this stage now just waiting on the main paint a nice black top coat to do over the weekend (fingers crossed). 90 wolf - Jasmin http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic39408.html
