[IMG]http://i402.photobucket.com/albums/pp104/johnnyboymg/121020091354.jpg[/IMG Bump strips removed ready for smoothing http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC_0138.jpg Glad the strut tops didn't crack when the car was back together. And the paint really is that shiney. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC_0141.jpg Engine block awaiting fitment http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC_0137.jpg Custom M/T series head setup. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC_0135.jpg Coilovers are now on thanks to Nathan a star man as always. Font will go lower once engine is in plus it still has the helper springs to keep some comfort. Rear is as low as possible for now till arches get rolled. Need to get my finger out but weather and working hours mean I haven't had the motivation to do much. But all being well work will re-commence this week. Gonna get brake pipes and custom polished stainless tanks made up for engine bay. http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC_0159.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC_0160.jpg http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...r/DSC_0161.jpg More better pics tomorrow peeps. |
Looks like a big task you have taken on there with all the smoothing going on. Impressive work!

About 20 years ago bought a RWA MG Midget for the wife, rod had gone through the block, car had a 2 pack paint job and looked fantastic. After stripping it out, found the car was rusted out, cut it up and took it down the scrappie.
I know how much effort, blood and tears has gone into your project, looking good, all the best with the last leg and looking forward to seeing the finished car. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: |
All i can ask is... "A smooth engine bay..." Why? :confused: :)
|
Looks great! I agree with Alan Why?
|
Why not?! lol Im assuming it wont be your average car when finished and will prob be used for publicity more than anything and an advert for the quality of the work at AA.
Loks like quite a challange and I cant wait to see that engine in there and the bay all done! :) :thumbsup: |
Just like the look it gives. Like an old amercian hot rod.
