More Airbrushing - Battery Tray
7 Attachment(s)
So with the impending MOT (tomorrow in fact) which I knew the ZS would fail due to an insecure battery (amongst other things) I decided to remove the battery tray:
Attachment 5845 Attachment 5846 As you can see it is rusty, what you can't really see is the bolt is "welded" in place and the bracket and tray itself have been bent by the previous owner to be able to remove the battery (thanks!) So we decided to strip it down and rebuild it with a bit of Airbrushing, nothing fancy but as its the ECU housing as well, although there is a flip colour sprayed over the top that goes from green to silver to red to orange in the sun (very nice effect that the camera can't show!): Attachment 5847 Attachment 5848 And then fitted it to the engine bay... Now I have a fully working engine tray again with stainless steel nut and bolt to ensure it doesn't seize up again! Attachment 5849 Attachment 5850 Attachment 5851 Hope you all like :) |
Nice touch!
My next de-rusting project is the battery tray, it's awful in mine. |

I think if she passes first time tomorrow Im going to be taking a few of the bits n pieces off like the Rad brackets and get her to chrome them (since we have the chrome stuff in at the moment) :D:D |
Tempting....although I think my current tray is more rust than metal!
Saying that, mine is a different shape as it's a 4-pot K rather than the V6 :( |
Nice work. Opens up alot of possibilities.
