Re: My Daughters ride
I not 100% sure on what paint to use at the coast but go for the best as its not some thing you would like to do again 6 months down the line. I would also use some bitumin or what ever they use these days for the battery tray.
I see the hole cut out for making the clutch cable easier to change,I would make a removable plate that can be screwed on flush for the next time.

Re: My Daughters ride
without knowing too much about paint, I'd suggest Hammerite Direct to rust (or whatever its called)

Re: My Daughters ride
I think Tony is spot on with that choice.they have a wide range of colours and comes in smaller tins so no wastage of paint and you can use a roller to paint it on.
Also try spraying over the Hamerite with stone chip and see how that works out.Good job Chelsey nice to see you are not scared of getting stuck in.
i that Herman would be the man to give you some good advice.

Re: My Daughters ride
Im going to spray the pan with GLATEX 8

I dont understand why people cut the tunnel a bit of patience
and the job is done.

Re: My Daughters ride

Smiths didnt make them, they sold similar ones - I could be mistaken.

Re: My Daughters ride
Good luck... you need special tools to rebuild gearboxes and without these, you'll end up giving up or breaking something.
If you dont want to send your in for a rebuild, you'll have to take your luck buying a second hand box and hoping its better than the one you have.
I dont mean to be pessimist here, but thats how I see it and why I wont bother trying to rebuild a box.
You could spend some time on youtube, maybe there is something in there?

Re: My Daughters ride
If I was you, I would not mess with the Slave cylinder sizes, as it would make stopping the car much harder for your young lady.mcg wrote:..............

The sizes are worked out for least foot pressure for maximum wheel stoppage.
Do not forget, your total weight is on the back wheels, so you need these brakes to work.
Nice progress on the car, when you refit the body onto the pan, please check the straightness of the assembly, as it will effect the drive ability
Best to place the pan on car trestles, all at the same height, this will ensure the body will not pull it skew..
