Re: Calibra Progress *!= 56k*

right well not many people seem too interested but out of the kindness of my heart ill give yall another update anyway

first job today was to give the inlet another coat, its not holding as well as i'd hoped on the aluminium but it doesn't look too bad now, it may get another coat if i can be bothered



i had to leave that to dry so i thought on such a wonderful day i should be out doing the calipers!

so out comes the old wirebrush and off i set to get em as clean as possible


and again out comes the yellow hammerite i wasn't worrying too much about the discs or pads as they are all being replaced before the cars on the road again.







i have had to leave the backs till either i can find two more axle stands or until the cars back on its fronts.

after that i thought what i was going to do next and thought that cleaning the engine bay may get some jizer or water on the paint drying so i thought id leave that for the day to harden off.

In the end i decided to have a go at cleaning the scorpion backbox up as it had tar marks and all sorts.



I wasn't too bothered about scratching it as ill be getting a full system on it soon enough so i thought id at least make it look presentable so out came the wirebrush again and the hammer and chisel getting the stones out from between the pipes.



Once i thought id got most of the crap off i got the autosol out and put my back into it

Pipe 1...


and done...




Until early april i cant spend much money so im doing stuff that is fairly cheap at the moment and some real momentum will take place soon
