Time to start the Amber One

[alancdavis]

Been a while since I brought the MK2 home so thought its time to make a start on the refresh

Striped out the interior and was pleased to find all in good order , no previous welding and none required., so quick wipe down , fit transmission tunnel sound deadening pads and a coat of Hammerite.

Also please to note all the cavitys have been waxoiled but will still apply some more before putting it all back.




Front floor pans ok




Rear floor pans ok




Rear tubs all ok

Next thing is to fit the arches

[scunnydaz]

Very nice. Nice to see one so solid

[maru_uk]

Why ruin it with hammerite tho?

[alancdavis]

Protective coat and it wont be seen beneath the carpets

Actually its a good match to the signal amber

Looks a nice solid motor you have there Alan .

[alancdavis]

Sounds like useing Hammerite on the floors is frowned upon ,,

Whats the point of gobbing that crap on them Alan when they will only rust through from underneath, thats where they need protecting outside the car. Hammerite is not the easiest stuff to remove if you had to do work later on.

Just doesn't make sense to be honest Alan, hammerites great on gates and railings not on a nice mk2 floor pan

[alancdavis]

As I say it a protective coat and wont be seen under the carpets,,, no different to useing normal two pack.

Just don't enter concours with it A ....... someone will want to lift the carpets !!!!
