Got the driver floor into seam sealer aswell. Not really sure what way I'm going to do the interior paint at the moment, might got with the oem primer with paint dusted in but might go full gloss champ white inside

Started stripping one of the rear trailing arms apart to be painted and built back up so some bits have been cleaned up and dumped into the bilt hammer deox bath to get rid of any microrust before painting

All inner parts of the sills were cleaned back to metal and as usual treated with brunnox and left to dry. This along with cavity wax that I will later put in will prevent any rust in the future.

Sills were tacked in place to make sure they were sitting right and any adjustments made before final weld

Welded up and cleaned back down to near smooth,never know there were off

Anti corrosion treatment has been applied and the sill will get a light skim of glaze to completely level them off before they are put into epoxy

Above pic shows the reaction of the brunnox anti corrosion epoxy paint that I put on all cleaned metal to prevent corrosion in the future

Good progress. Beyond my skills. I’m doing it the expensive way. Booked with Motion Motorsport in Feb!

Sometimes your better off. The tooling and free time required is alot ,I'm lucky in that iv most of the tools already and have the space to strip a car and walk away without it being in other peoples way

Few bits done in the last few weeks. Up to the engine bay is ready for paint apart from the rear inner arch. Im waiting on the panel beater to repair this section so it can be then sealed in and I can then paint the underneath NHO


Sill were treated with brunnox before filler was applied to any low spots

Novol Anti corrosion epoxy primer put down and let to cure 24 hrs
Gas heater under the car and a tube heater in the car to bring panel temp into the 30s

Epoxy was rubbed down with red scotch before another 3 layers of spray on sealer was applied. I added more sealer to give thickness to the seams so I could show I wasn't hiding any crappy welds and also to make sure the floor was watertight

Stonechat was applied 6 hours after the seam sealer to further protect the floor

After the stoneguard is put on i box the floor in and heat it all up to ensure proper adhesion. Gas heater under the car and halogen panel heater inside to ensure
Both sides of the panel are warm

Top of the fuel tank was cleaned up,treated with brunnox,epoxy primed,rubbed down with red scotch and then had black stone guard applied. I also painted satin black over this and then satin clear

 

[db-89]

Some suspension parts stripped back,treated and painted

 

[db-89]

Front left wing and strut removed. Found a load of silicone under the bonnet hinge and expected the worst. Thankfully it was bone dry underneath and all just surface rust

Hammer and dollied the outer edge of the brake dust shield to tidy it up before paint

 

[db-89]

Gear linkages cleaned,treated,primed and paint. I made up the paint to replicate a zinc finish. Its a heavy pearly light gold with hints or purple,green and red through it with a satin clear on top

 

[db-89]

Front anti roll bar had the same treatment but got a satin silver finish

 

[db-89]

Front left brake caliper cleaned and painted too. Vht red with vht gloss clear,also had a hi temp epoxy primer put on. All hardware was cleaned up too. I have new brembo pads and discs to go on when assembled
