Add to the to do lost: lots of skids!

 

I'll do a skid if you provide the water, and the horsepower ;)

[Jono.C]

The water is the horsepower? :P

:laff: too true.

The wheels, i need centre caps... i know.

 

But you get the gist.

looking sweet dude! keep them updates rolling in!

The engine is out.

 

Starting to get the engine bay ready for a respray.

 

Any tips for pre paint prep?

I slouched on prep for my engine bay... now have to do it all again :(

 

If the car is going to be a shower take your time and clean up any loose stuff. Treat it like you would the outside of the car.

A few people on here have done amazing work smoothing out strut towers and the like with that metal putty stuff (??)

 

Another thing we did with mine was to use a thick filler primer to smooth out any small imperfections (which worked great, I just didn't spend the time sanding back any runs in it).

Nah it's not really, it's basically just for me and my mates haha. But like if it's looking nice i'd pop the hood. Maybe at Winterfest.

Yeah that seems like a good idea. If it's not too much effort i might try a bit of that... good suggestion cheers mate.

 

For those playing at home. The engine bay is going to go satin black... Unless anyone has a better suggestion with picture proof ;)

 

You mean paint runs?

 

I hope to attack they bay next week.

Black is a good idea. Anything bright will make other not so good parts stand out.

Yeah that's what i was thinking.

 

I'll probably go a blueish block to match the body colour and polished head and rocker cover.

 

Any photos of suggestions for engine colours, feel free to post :)

Black sound like a good idea. Yeah, I meant paint (primer) runs.

UPDATE:

 

Started work on the engine bay finally. GOt it all primered, looks awesome in the greythat it is.

 

I'll be painting the crossmember and all the stuff flat black tomorrow. i reckon it will come up neat.
