What have you done to your vehicle today?

[July92RS]

Was the best price i could find,looked at headers etc but as the car is 90% original i wanted to keep it that way and i didnt want the agro of broken studs and other such fun...
next on the hitlist is sorting out the area's that need paint attention,,sort out A/C to run RS24 then i should be pretty much done...at least i dont have to break out the welder on this one

So today it was,,,either chance the weather and go to wimbourne or or take advantage of the weather here in good ole bogroll regis and tackle this stripe lark



Sanding it down revealed some strange happenings




So after some prep and laying down primer it was off for some food,,,,,came back to complete horror as some sort of reaction had taken place and it looked like some creature from the Fringe series...no photo as drastic action was needed



It now has zince primer on it as i had run out of thinners and had to brush it on

I unblocked my sunroof drain pipes yesterday - thought it was be a quick job but not as it turned out. Had to the remove the wheelarch liners to get to them, and some rusty screws that would not budge. Then I discovered the reason they were blocked was because there was about 20 years worth of silt accumulation behind the wheelarch liners. I removed in total two massive handfuls of the finest quality peat - which in retrospect I should have put on the garden! Once I cleaned the area out I found a bit of rust which I cleaned up and applied Kurust to.

Well today was another do i go out to one of the many events on today or do i continue with the work on the bonnet ??

The latter won






Next step is to block it down and get the white mixed

 

[TransAmDan]

Looking good. Looks nice and flat. Did that take much work after the primer?

 

[July92RS]

It was not bad,used scotch pads on the red followed by 400 grade wet on some ares's..4 coats of 2k primer so i got a cushion to flat it back without breaking through.Next task will be removing mirror or spoiler end to get the white matched

Took one of my Fiero tyres to get a slow puncture sorted. It was leaking around the tyre bead.

 

[AmericanThunder]

Apart from the carb tuning mentioned in my article, but also fixed the electric boot release.

 

[an88fiero]

You also looked at my Fiero's ball joint problem

 

[AmericanThunder]

Went for a drive, and took a few photos.....

 

[AmericanThunder]

Polished and detailed the TATA. It's not perfect but well presentable for Hayling. Now fingers crossed for good weather.

 

[July92RS]

Not the ideal weekend changing an engine in a focus but when family need your help...............

 

[AmericanThunder]

Dude, your a glutton for punishment.... But well done for helping people in need.

 

[July92RS]

All done and back on the road,,,,a happy stepdaughter again :thumbup1:
