JordanEP91 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Cheers mate, I was going to send it away to someone because I didnt know he done it because he builds rally cars for a living and a friend who does my powdering coating said to take it to him so I did, glad I did I think it looks amazing, I will have to speak to him about maybe making me a cage ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Well my car was ment to be going to have some paint done saturday but its now going on saturday the 20th, I have a week off on 22nd so if it would have gone this saturday I could have got the engine and that back in but I cant now never mind the wait will be worth it ;) may just have a relaxing week before some hard work on the weekends, no doubt I will find something to do that involves the car ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 The last couple of nights I have been doing some masking ready for Saturday the 20thAlso got both rear windows masked upAs its getting painted I thought it would be good to get in the back with a wire brush wheel on a drill and get that horrible sound proofing and the sealant out so its nice and smooth between the joins now and will look so much better when painted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AdamB Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) As its getting painted I thought it would be good to get in the back with a wire brush wheel on a drill and get that horrible sound proofing and the sealant out so its nice and smooth between the joins now and will look so much better when painted You do know that the sealant inbetween the seams is what holds the body panels together and it helps absorb road bumps, and also stops the chassis from flexing to a certain degree. I've removed mine for seam welding, are you getting yours welded? Edited July 21, 2013 by AdamB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've removed mine for seam welding, are you getting yours welded? Not all of it has been removed just the excess sealant on the top it was hardly any tbf just so it's gets a better finish, no I'm not getting mine welded see what it's like when it's done, I'm pretty sure the chassis isn't going to flex from the amount I removed Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've removed mine for seam welding, are you getting yours welded? Its not the sealer that holds the body panels on, if u look close they are all spot welded, if the car was held together with seam sealer it would fall apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 Done some more painting todayCleaned and ready for paint Just been painted, I chose black because when I get big brakes for the front they will be black These look mint tbh, I will admit the photo doesn't look very good I was going to buy a brand new alternator but I decided there is nothing wrong with mine apart from it needs to be painted,Gave it a good clean and painted Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would be suprised mate, I've removed all the sealant from mine and it doesn't take much for it to flex at all, its a little tighter around the strut tops but its pretty weak at the bottom of them and around the rest of the panels. Its not the sealer that holds the body panels on, if u look close they are all spot welded, if the car was held together with seam sealer it would fall apart. Ay I know that, but the sealant is there to hold them together to absorb harshness to stop transfering it to the body. Besides the spot welds are too far apart anyway making the panels very easy to flex. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) Had to go to the paint shop this morning to tell them exactly what I want doing, because I wasnt there when my girlfriends dad took it, anyway got a photo as I was leaving next to friends evo ;) to get a better finish round the windows they have to be taken out I was told, so they are going to get someone to go there and take them all out then refit them once the paintings done:) Edited July 22, 2013 by JordanEP91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JordanEP91 Posted July 22, 2013 Author Share Posted July 22, 2013 Because the car isn't here I can't really do nothing apart from clean and paint old parts,The starter motor wasn't in the best of conditionsSo I gave it a little clean and got some paint on it just so it looks that little bit fresherNow the starter motor is painted I will get it back on tomorrow Also got round to putting the alternator back on Engine and gearbox could do with a clean, gathering dust ;)Also went out today to drop some more bits off to be powdercoated, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JordanEP91 Posted July 23, 2013 Author Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) Well I'm not sure if any of you have noticed but the head has gone all horrible, it did come up a little cleaner than this but still wasn't good enough!So I decided I was going to go and get some paint today for the head to make it look abit more cleaner Here's a photo before it was cleaned and painted Rad painted ;)Also I changed my mind out the black I done yesterday hahaWhilst the paint was drying I got abit bored so I thought i will my feul rail on, I'm not really sure why because it will have to come back off for the injectors to be installed Edited August 8, 2013 by JordanEP91 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
