Rich-k Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The painter does really well considering he's painting in the elements will look great all back together! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Gotta love fresh paint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mindless Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks guys! Yeah the local painters are amazing, You'd be surprised that how good their work is even if they don't usually have access to paint booths and ovens. I have no photo updates yet on the car, as they're getting ready to mount it on the body rotisserie so we can work on the under-chassis. This though just arrived in the mail Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mindless Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Underchassis has now been painted! We also repaired a bit of damage in the wheel well tub caused by shoddy installment of an external fuel cell On the detailing side a few more small bits here and there have been cleaned and spiffied up Also my supply of VHT goodies have arrived! (Vinyl, Caliper, Epoxy, Engine Enamel etc) so we can start repainting all the other interior bits and suspension parts and of course the engine + gearbox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mindless Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 (edited) Aaaand the last section of the shell has been painted. We've just completed painting the inner part of the shell! Getting ready to put it all back together again Mocking up the brakelines as the will need to be slightly modified to suit the new LHD orientation We've started cleaning most of the suspension bits and giving them a nice coat of VHT Epoxy Paint. Sanded down the tank so it can get painted too Edited July 23, 2014 by mindless Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Awesome attention to detail on this build. The feeling of assembling a bare shell after a full respray is unbeatable! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mindless Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Thanks guys! @Idrees yep definitely nothing beats the feeling of building up from a bare shell! Still a long way to go but we're slowly getting there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mindless Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 Slowly piecing it all back together. Painted/refreshed and installed more underchassis/suspension parts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mindless Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 Plumbing installed and wiring mocked up! Rear suspension and coilvers installed! Let there be light! Meanwhile, we still have a lot of detail going on in parallel... Every nut, bolt, bracket and washer cleaned! Now for the tricky part - cutting up the RHD dash for conversion to LHD!

mindless Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys! @Rich-k, usually just a bit of bog to hide where it was seamed and then repaint it with vinyl paint. Use crumpled paper to recreate the texture. Alternatively I was also thinking having it wrapped in alcantara instead of painting it – if budget will allow.
