Just thought id share some pics of what Im upto at the moment. There is a lot of time, and money being put into tubby lately with the decision being made to run in concours this year. I done some work about 3years ago however its time to get the rear discs, coilovers, 6 pots on and the whole lot blasted and coated.

this is tubbys usual postition for 10months of the year, however this time its been almost 2 years!

How many of these are stil around?

Looking rather dull........not good enough!!!

Atleast this lasted

Yes, I am sad enough to autosol my exhaust

off I go to the powder coaters with a boot full of bits.

BRB!

are you using any kind of special paint to do the underneath ??
just love the look this gives a car when its done

by **KEVFRST** on Thu Mar 15, 2007 4:11 pm

It depends which parts your painting, say liek the wheel arches and under the boot floor, there is already a factory layer of underseal which is rippled, so a standard high temp paint being used which is thinned using thinners so get into all the lumps n bump. On bits like above petrol tank where its just the light mist from factory, you will need to lay some good layers of primer on. Its very hard not to make a mess with all the spray cans under there so thats why im brushing the arhces and boot floor, im almost ready now to give it the clearcoat which is basically clear varnish, or the posh name is Yacht varnish.

by **KEVFRST** on Sat Mar 17, 2007 3:32 pm

Started again last night, so here is a few more snaps, OSR arch almost compleate, just waiting for laquer to dry now.

Im hoping someone can clarify but it dosent matter which way I put the bush?

Started to fit up the mudflaps

bottom isnt square and it looked 'conquering device' eyed to me, so try again.........

almost done now, coilover in, flap fitted

Right, break time, then back to the NSR arch!

by **KEVFRST** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 2:53 am

Finally got my new brakes this morning after about 6 weeks. You know the wait was definately worth it.

Biggest that will go behind the 15s safely, must admit the finish is impeccable... A Very very happy Tubby!

by **bakewell001** on Thu Mar 22, 2007 11:32 am

Some excellent work there.

Those brakes look rather tasty!

What wheels have you got seeing as you've gone for big brakes?

Amazing work!

Are you going to let on as to where those mudflaps can be sourced? I've been searching ages but with no luck?

Thanks

by **Smo** on Fri Mar 23, 2007 11:23 pm

Lovely work... Seeing this sort of thing going on is always an inspiration to do some work on mine!

Are you going to coat the tank in anything in order to stop it rusting?

by **Ram** on Sat Mar 24, 2007 12:34 am

those brakes! will look aswsome behind the supperlegras

by **KEVFRST** on Fri Apr 06, 2007 8:16 pm

1st day of the bank holiday and its ful steam ahead, got some more little bits back from powder coaters however they forgot to do my hubs!!!!

so that will mean the rear set up cannot get finished this weekend however 90% can be done.

Lifted up the front today and made a start on fitting coilovers and the brakes up front.

all be coming back off in the morning, prob with fitting which needs urgent attention.

knew it was too good to be true.
