Yeah I understand that, but as has been said, there's no need to go to the expense of ceramic coating when the shields don't require it. Cheaper alternatives could look just as good

Good news then
Did you go for the performance white from Zircotech?

Did your buddy spray the inlet and cam covers with a particular paint or just the standard stuff used on the exterior of the car?

Thanks

I think you should invest in this gearbox

Cars looking good Ollie . Gearbox is awesome but it doesn't take enough torque I called sadev a while back. :-(

That's just for one box and associated parts like shafts etc
Had a few hours spare over the last couple of days so I built the inlet back up after it had been painted


I was going to paint the engraving white but think I'm just going to leave it as it is

Started to build the doors back up so I can get them slaved back on the car while I go away as my nephew will be staying in the spare bedroom which is full of car parts

Couldn't fit the glass in the drivers door as the window bung was perished so I need to get a new one of them, all the grey foam will get fitted once iv tested that everything works





Took my hubs, fuel rail, sump, gearbox brackets, seat side mounts and some other little bits to the coaters and will get them back Friday then that's hopefully everything that needs to be coated... Spent nearly £1000 on powder coating alone on this car now ooops

Excellent work you are doing here,coming on really well

A week or so ago I gave my fuel rail and an weld on fittings to Rich W as he knew someone that could do a tidy job and indeed it was
So I gave all my bits to the coaters and got them back yesterday after clear instructions to cover/bung certain parts up before coating...

Well as all the bits are wrapped up when I collect them I didn't realise that some parts were not masked off

the an fittings on the fuel rail were coated so it took me a while to get the powder coat off them (I don't have the correct size die to clean the threads up but hopefully work have so they should be perfect come Monday night)




Luckily I made a plate to cover the sump however some media blast got inside



I started to clean the inside of the sump with some acetone but forgot to nip the drain plug up and realised after it had started to eat into the powder coat I was thinking about getting it redone but sod it I cant be bothered (I know its not the attitude to take but im running out of time before I go and no one will see the sump anyway)
The damage is done


I got my hubs back from having negative camber machined into them so got them coated too, they need a little bit of work before I install the new wheel bearings but hopefully I will get round to that next week

Spray the sump in silver hammerite. If you just do the flat surface, it should blend down the sides and will only notice if you really look. Would be a shame to leave it like that with all the work you have put in!

Nice update mate and a shame about the sump.
Just don't give up on it or start getting fed up with the build.... you are almost there

Keep going

I dont want to see this as another unfinished project
