Only got the one day in the garage this weekend, still got a bit done though.
Base coat laid down on drivers side -
Let that tack off and then laid down some clear coat -
Also got some base coat on the passenger side turret/front leg -
I'm not going to apply any clear coat to that yet though as I've decided I want to do the whole turret so it all blends in together. Will do this when I've taken the engine out though as I'll have more room. Will be a lot easier for me to change the belts and what not with it out too.
Finally, I bought some Deox C and left the manifolds to soak in it for 24 Hours.
This is the tub it comes in if anyone was wondering -
I forgot to take photos when I took the manifolds out but I can tell you it works a treat. Completely clean and all the corrosion from the flanges was removed.
I was owed a favour for a bit of paint correction I did a while back, so I had him polish up the headers for me with his machine. Here they are -
I was going to get the Y-Piece done also but upon closer inspection the threads in one of the oxygen sensor holes has been completely destroyed -
Not the best picture but gives you an idea. Annoyed by this but it is repairable. I'm going to take it down to an exhaust specialist near me and have the damaged lug cut off and have a new one tig welded on.
Jay.
