So now we just need one coat of paint to make the paint a bit more solid, and then i can concentrate on the details, still some rough fibre glass on the bonnet as well , but that will be next
this is what it looks like for now !

My Vit is at the welders as I speak, having a front recovery bumper built and mounted... and then I'm ready for the worst snow in living memory! Lol!
Keep hold of my number and gimme a shout when your motor is ready to roll (ahem!) off road... I have a few mates at work I do a little off roading with every blue moon and a good friend I don't see too often who drives a Jimny so I'm sure we can sort out a nice little off road convoy for green laning about Sussex and into Kent... just gimme the word and I'll get it organised! _________________ Driving a 99' Vitara JX 4U2...

SO the weather is on my side and I am in Europe a long way from easy part supplies !
so I will be doing what I can until the materials I brought with me run out
First up rocker cover gasket as it is a bit leaky. while I have the cover off I might as well tidy it up a bit as it is truly manky.
First some suds to get all the 25 year old grease and gunk off.
A few hours of 80 grit through to 800 to get it nice and smooth, cant have bits of rust poking through after a couple of months now can we ?
Some strategic masking and into the homemade spray booth ( opens both side by the way )
Couple of coats of 800 degree silver I found in the local hardware store and *ping*! good as new
I will no doubt on here moaning about refitting it in the next couple of days but hopefully the self seating gasket wont give me too much hassle, fingers crossed ! and more updates as I do them. |
