I took the cabby to the paintshop today, trial fitted the wing and made some modifications to it. The brand new wing I bought was actually for a 3 door hatch not a cabby so the bottom bit had to be chopped and shaped to fit. The the top of the boot lid and rear humps were buffed up to see how it would look and they've come up not to bad. Wheels have been primed so i'll help rub them down tomorrow ready for the top coat.

Quite a slow day but it's getting there

A few pic's of the progress

Red hatch took the oil bottle out of it for the bike.

Blue chamade looked at it all sad on its axle stand

White chamade looked at the blue chamades head sitting in the back of it

Safrane went out to the shop in it admiring its full tank of fuel

Finally got the cabby in the garage today, now where do I start.

Been down to the paint shop this morning and rubbed down my wheels again for the second time. One more coat of primer to go then the top coat of silver will be on, the wing is also in primer. Back in Monday after work for the rest to be done.

Taking ages... :roll:

 

[Reno5gtt]

Washed at mid day and went out for a drive round the peak district with the roof down

Checked to see if the wipers park with the ignition off when you put the stalk to OFF

They don't

Started old blue up again yesterday. First time in month or so. Let her get to temp and that's all she gets. I fitted the door lock clip I made at work so now it don't fall out when you shut the door!
Sourced some parts needed for the mot ( all brand new!) Still need to find a friendly (aka cheap) welder though.

I am on my second page on the "to do" list, one of my biggest jobs will be to remove the dashboard and rip out all the air conditioning and instal an original heater system, Phew. Bloody Singaporians didn't instal heater or blower, just a A/C unit with blower up under the dash. May have to look for a body shell being wrecked, just to get the parts I need. this is def a project happening here guys.
