Lol, all parts were blasted and I used extra light paint Weight saved from the flywheel and my wallet for the diff I think it must be lighter anyway!
Putting stuff back together for a change! All new shiny bolts Clutch shoud be here Monday so I can get a bit more done
Tidy as ever, Scott! It'll be a real challenge for me to try and achieve a similar standard on the Mk1 Scirocco. On the Mk2 Rocco Track Car I don't worry too much about the cosmetics.
Cheers Mike, I drive myself crazy with the detail, I have a very understanding girlfriend ! Your mk1 Rocco is a very worthy project for some love! Forgot I did my splitter yesterday, spent an age on the DA! These were battered when I salvaged them years ago! I managed to get most of the damage out if them, adhersion promoter used then satin black, still a bit smooth and glossy so I think a couple of drop coats of matt black will be needed before they get fitted
Got a bit more done, clutch landed so I fitted that and the flywheel Got the water hoses and steel water pipe on Bolted the alternator on, pleased how its looking Need to get the gearbox back so I can crack on with that, should be picking it up on sat
Cheers, got a good deal on a Quaife from TSR and a set of ARP bolts. Should help round tight tracks like curby where I'm spending too much time spinning up my inside wheel
^ Cheers chaps. Done a couple of hours cleaning up the box using every drill and grinder attachment I have! Lol It's getting there, hoping to paint it Saturday before I am away for the week
Lol, my rebuilt gearbox came back painted, I was not happy as I know the paint will only chip and flak off in a year or two, so I did what you have done and cleaned it off back to bare Ali, it stays better that way and IMO looks better over time than a flaky, stained box. so mine stays unpainted.
Plan at the min is to paint it black and replace the external bolts, if it ends up looking s**t it's my own fault! Lol I'm using the same type of paint I used to do it silver last time so it should last ok
Managed to almost finish the box, all external bolts replaced with new polished stainless, polished in the drill Needs a bit of touching up but pleased with how it's come out, clutch release arm still needs painting
Well I was only going to tidy the garage but decided to fit the box, was doing it on my own so I was lucky and it went on first time without a fight
