[PhilW]

Looks stunning, really really great.
Did they paint around the bonnet stickers? It all looks new?
nice one!

[katbloke]

They have masked the decals and painted the base coat removed the masking and laquer ed it all

[Crossers]

I think you need to redrill the front wheel arch trim clip holes Graham - then paint the car. would be a killer to have to drill into fresh paint and loose all the protection it gives.

Take the front wheel arch liners with you to double check.

Words of wisdom...did you get the holes drilled?

Paul

[katbloke]

Hmmm error nope doh

[katbloke]

Bugger ty for the reminder will get onto it today whilst they still have the paints

[northy]

Looking good though, are we upto date now with the pictures?

Im impressed with the bonnet repair - good to finally see inside one.

Im not having a go at all Graham, but I can also see the drivers front wing needs its lower retaining hole putting back in like the passenger side.

Are they giving you a hand to get refit all the panels and then get the car home?

[katbloke]

OK j do remember seeing one in situ. They are doing the body panel reassembly so they will discover that. Thanks for the hole advice I completely forgot it whilst trying to focus on the money side of things. When the shell is flattened and polished it will be coming home for me to make water tight. I plan uncovering all relevant parts shortly

[northy]

very good - how are you getting it back home?

[katbloke]

They'll drop it back on their low loader

[katbloke]

[Robinson16v]

Looking good matey. The hole on the passenger side inner wing (near the slam panel etc) doesn't necessarily need to be there unless you have the brake pad wear sensor still there, just make sure you have the drivers side hole there for the horn wire :)
It's coming on rather quick and nice. Must get a thread up myself :)

[northy]

wow that's some progress

[katbloke]

Northy they found that out fitting the wing, just had a piccy through showing the wing fitted

[PhilW]

Make sure that you get all those box sections and sills injected with cavity wax whilst the car is still "exposed" - it should last you out now 😉.

[katbloke]

Of course I will Phil

yes mate.. looks the nuts!! great work Graham and credit to restoshack too!!

[katbloke]

[katbloke]

Hole for wiring sorted.

And back in storage for a wee while till I sort my stuff out

[PhilW]

Stunning, what a difference in that front end. You posted an image a while ago showing a rusty subframe, crossmember, & nner wings. Now its all glossy paint. Bet you cant wait to get it rebuilt. Do you have an estimated date when you plan to have it back on the road?

[northy]

very nice - did your man do the hole on both sides?

[Dunc]

Wow! stunning! looking soooo fresh an new!

Can't wait to see this being all built up!

Love how you have painted the inner wings on the front, this is exactly what i'd do along with the rear arches

Good work

Dunc

[will 2]

stunning , without being too forward may i ask how much your respray is costing , need mine doing before long
thanks

[mack1]

Wow truly stunning. You sure this is going to cost 2.5k. So jealous. I'm in the middle of my rustoration. I'm doing mine myself so it is what they call a labour of love. Bump on the price of respray.

[northy]

rustoration.....that's genius!

[katbloke]

Not it didnt cost 2.5k ive gone a tad over budget lol, good job i wasnt doing it to sell on unless you want to pay me a small fortune :)

[Vandella]

=D> hurry up and put her back together mate!! we want more pics!!! haha

[katbloke]

Haha pics will be slow now after I finish posting up bodywork photos as it's then down to my work rate

[katbloke]

Anyone got any pics of their engines on an engine stand, mines one sided and too dangerous to turn, just ordered a hoist now

[PhilW]

What you wanting to see? my engine is in the stand t the moment, I can take some photos for you no problem

[katbloke]

Just how you mounted it choice of holes. I used the bottom ones on the sump but i need to get the sump off doh

[PhilW]

Just how you mounted it choice of holes. I used the bottom ones on the sump but i need to get the sump off doh
Just been out to the garage to take some pics so you can see how I cleaverly mounted the engine on the stand.
Lucky I wasnt smug about it, I have done exactly the same as you, using the bottom bell housing holes not realising that this was part of the sump, what a muppet!
So please tell me how you resolve the situation as the engine is not an area that I have got to yet - plenty for me to do yet!

[katbloke]

Will do Phil the engine hoist arrived today so I can try and get it off of the stand tomorrow

[katbloke]

Have you thought of a full completion date yet? or roughly when you think it'll be?

[katbloke]

No idea daz I'm afraid

[PhilW]

Good to see it moving forward, thanks for the mounting image.
I was going to message you to see what progress you were making as its been a while since your last update.
Dont rush now, you've done a cracking job so far 👍

[katbloke]

Thanks Phil, slow work in progress, will take the head off soon then the sump, might as well have a proper looksee as the tappets did rattle a wee bit

[PhilW]

I have to say that this is starting to sound a little like a partial rebuild.......
TBH nows the time to check your engine over, you will never have access as good as this ever again.
Best of luck with everything 👍

[northy]

get the full engine done - be a shame not to go through it all now.

[Crossers]

Don't say stuff like that Northy...now you're going to cause me to rip mine apart!

Nice to see the project coming on; apparently it's best to leave the shell for 8 weeks or so before beginning to rebuild, there's less chance of marking the lacquer then. I think the hardest part of the project will be not damaging the paintwork on the rebuild!

Paul

[katbloke]

I'm still working on the block cleaning but the shell will be hardened off nicely

[northy]

how are you painting the block?

[katbloke]

Hi Rich, ive got spray VHT black for the block and any black components like the Power steering, and aluminium spray for the obvious aluminium bits, would like to keep the head natural but not sure it will be achievable, sump will ge.
have and cleaned and painted, i have a full engine gasket set and stretch bolts on order but still some tearing down to do.

Might buy a parts washer dont know yet

[katbloke]

Buggers fighting me all the way, one sump bolt rounded off, head bolts murder fecking tight cant move them yet and still cant get driveshaft off of the gearbox and the speedo cable, bloodt renaults and their torx bolts

[northy]

you tried heat from a blow torch.

[will3232]

Or an impact screw driver? Not telling you how to suck eggs it's just my tool of choice :).

[katbloke]

sumps now off courtesy of a chisel, gonna oil and heat the driveshaft to get that fekker off

[Crossers]

You can cut a slot in the sump bolt using a fine cutting disk on a grinder, then use a heavy duty screwdriver in the slot and angle it 45 degrees to the right. Smack the top of the screwdriver with a hammer and it'll undo. Worked with several of mine.


Is it the drivers side driveshaft? As above re sucking of the eggs...have you removed the roll pin?


The speedo cable is easy when you have the knack. As long as you depress the side lugs, it will come out...if its never been off before you've have to seriously yank that frigger to get it to budge. It can take more force than you think it can take!.

Paul

[katbloke]

Roll pin is out so far ive tried hammering wedges between casing and joint im guessing its just rusted onto splines

[katbloke]

Block prepping progress, quite please with how its going even if very slowly, 1 side of the block has cleaned up really well but the front hasnt come up as good some rust staining remains making painting pointless so ive currentl got that side soaking in Bilt Hamber Deox Gel and ive covered it with cling film to keep the moisture in and to allow it to work overnight (in theory) its an old pot of gel so not sure how well it will work but hey ho.

Cheers.

[PhilW]

Good to see progress is still being made Graham, do you think that you will have the car completed before Winter?

[katbloke]

Haha doubtful phil

[katbloke]

Righto bought some stuff to prep and paint the engine block so tonight I've made a start on one side.

As it was before tonight.

Will update when masking tape removed and both sides painted. Obviously same prep process for the other side.
Bored yet?

Cheers.
Graham.

[PhilW]

Keep it going Graham 👍🏻, I'm currently following in your wake, once I have finished the shell, I'll be starting on the engine.

[Danno]

Some serious work going here, although Im not sure I like the finish the engine enamel has given katbloke :neutral:

[katbloke]

Its shiney Danno being enamel, by the time the other stuffs bolted on i think it will be a good tough finish

[northy]

must admit im with danno - think a sprayed finish rather than brushed would have been my choice.

But its always nice to see something shiny pal.

[katbloke]

Contemplated spraying but the block wasn't coming up good enough

[northy]

looks to be good on your picture.

[katbloke]

The dipstick side hasn't faired so well I guess being the more weathered

[katbloke]

It might be that now I have a hood base I could spray matt black on top

[northy]

I wouldn't bother now mate.

But if you did try sand that back then spray the same stuff on.

[Daz.]

Thread is totally ruined now! :)

[katbloke]

Thanks Daz

[katbloke]

Update time, not much shell still in stoarge, bought a parts washer and my neighbour has fully de-coked the head and relapped the valves in. New stem seals etc and assures me the head doesnt need a skim.

Get on with it so you can have the car on the road for the summer ;)

Hi Rich,

Hi Rich,

Yeah no worries bud, pop by for a cuppa. Just changing my oil after 1500miles. Do you think that is extreme? Ha ha

G60 may be replaced with an r32 in the winter. Should make the mk1 fly! Not like its doing that now 😂

Thought you went the audi route before the G60 that must have been fast enough :) im currently driving a Prius + feel the power. Like a 9v battery on drugs.

Hey Mate, this looks epic. I browsed the whole thread with my mouth opened. :D

A question: did this subframe thing came originally in primer colour? I had this done by previous owner, but it needs respraying and i'm wonder how it should be made as i'm aiming for a pure original Will.

[Vandella]

yes, a close match to the original is ford polar grey.

[Wild]

Just spend ages going through each of the post updates! Must say a lovely looking car, shame you're getting rid!

[northy]

shame your getting rid????

Whats all this
