Been getting back into the swing of thing's again the last few weeks,given myself a finnished date of the 1st may to be on the road.So I had best pull my finger out! all parts powder coated & full set of polly bushes.gp1 legs &
1 inch lowered springs.more pics...........
The complete shell was painted at the paint shop,but when i got it home on closer inspection the paint was a little thin on the underside in a few places.so I masked up the complete car at home & the painter came around to my house & resprayed the underside all over again with another couple of coats of 2k.There was so much paint on it was dripping off,but what a nice finnish.It shines on the bottom just like the top.
The tops mounts finally got sorted out.On top of the original spring cup I removed the welded on stengthening washer,then I spot welded on a slightly smaller diameter washer.Then put the whole lot together & this all allowed the top mounts to spin nice & freely.
The brake pipes I made from coper & then polished them up to shine.The old Ford brake pipe clips were rusty so I used Volvo plastic clips that fitted directly into the original hole & they look nice & neat.
Had a busy day in the garage working on the RS today.I've put the rear axel all together now plus fitted new shoes,wheel cylinders,hand brake cable & made up & fitted the 2 rear brake pipes.
Does anybody know if the fuel pipe clips that fit into the chassis are still avalible? or does anybody have any some new or good used?
