cianw94 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Posted April 1, 2012 Wings, bonnet, apron, few little panels now have 3 coats of 2k primer. Never got to do the underside of them, next weekend. Never gpt the car back on its wheels either. Was busy with other things too. Keyed down, Guide coated, Overrated bonnet. :D Quote
cianw94 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Posted April 1, 2012 Underside of bonnet and wings got 3 coats of primer and wings got a coat of etch under that too. Had the room roasting, it is well baked on! Shit pictures I know, lightig was poor, looks shinier and better in the flesh I promise. Quote
cianw94 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Posted April 1, 2012 Looks like pure scutter in the pictures and the paint is wet in them. Will get better tomorrow. Away most of the weekend now so won't get much done unfortunately. sold the 4age today! Rubbed down the bay today, never got a chance to paint it. The air was damp and cold anyway. Will dust the place down, re-mask, degrease, heat the place and hopefully paint it in the next few evenings. Quote
cianw94 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Posted April 1, 2012 Second and please god last operation on my knee today. On midterm now, not supposed to do a tap with this but my engine bay needs painting. We will see how bad the bordem is. ha Not too happy with it, will redo it. Quote

Big thanks to Diesel21 on here for giving me a hand and spraying my bay for the 2nd and hopefully final time, much happier with it now! Thanks again Kieran! Got a head off Maurice. too, started porting it. :thumbsup: Half way through taking valves out, all fecking 16 of them! An exhaust cam in one piece, a first for me. :D Flush rocker covers. Perfect for, ''Yes Guard she is 998cc'' (tax purposes only!!). Normal carbon build up or what do you experts think? Porting started, Loving the long evenings already!! Got a few hours at this today. Back on the wheels, bay fitted out, waxed, more stripping etc. Have two weeks off now for Easter starting Friday now, should see the car painted by the end of the two weeks. :D Quote

Steve C Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone know of many of these KP Starlets in australia ? Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Does anyone know of many of these KP Starlets in australia ? Very few, they were never imported or made here, the only examples are ones people have shipped from OS. Plenty in NZ if you are really keen. Quote
corollaart Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Nice car good build. This is the second or third 4age build with 4k disy thats sh#t it self ,cam shaft nearly in the same lobe?? Maybe the 4k disys are stressing some thing. Thoughts??? As for sludge, carbon deposits ,poor service history,short runs around town Quote
KP61 Posted July 20, 2012 Report Posted July 20, 2012 Very few, they were never imported or made here, the only examples are ones people have shipped from OS. Plenty in NZ if you are really keen. He knows that, he has two. Quote
