Update-je from saturday night
Worked from 8 till 11 p.m. (before I went drinking :rolleyes: ). At first pressed the "pitman-arm" of the steeringbox. That gives a big BANG.. (there was 5000 kg pressing on it :D ). Then drilled holes in the pedals and maked some aluminium plates on the rough size. The aluminium plates will be the contact-area of the pedals. http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/27646.jpg Also talked with an guy who is PAYED to transform an Ford Fiesto into an rallycar (Amsterdam-Peking). On sunday I was out of bed at 9.45 am... with some verry "heavy head" :p . First prepared the gearbox for painting. Than sanded several lose pieces. Wiebrand |
Update from yesterday.
I was verry lucky an day off, so we could work hard on the car. It was the plan to go out of bed at 6.30... but because of an party last monday.. it became 7.00. Begin with sanding and degreasing of several lose pieces and the gearbox. Then finally this could be shot in EP at 11 o'clock. http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/27644.jpghttp://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/27645.jpg Man, man it stays difficult to paint every side/hook. Also this time I have to spray almost everything over so everything is covered with EP.Respect for the painters After that picked up several bolts, also picked up some parts by Franky's. Then picked up some paint, etc. After that I again started to sand the 100% covered with EP things. First with 320 dry and than 600 wet. There now ready for the final paintcoat. At last sanded several things that were not for 100% covered wit EP with P180. What an hell of an job is that sanding of these small parts. Wiebrand |
So today I had unexpected also an verry short day. SOo I could start at 1pm with working on my car. Sanded several things and shot everything with an layer of EP, so I could eat at 7.00pm. :rolleyes:

Looking good. I saw you painted your rotors, Will that paint withstand the heat of hard breaking without pealing?
|
I have an info-page of the paint somewhere. But I now for sure it won't hold on. But I don't give a thing. A car is maked to drive, not to stand as an show model :)
I painted everything, so the inside of the disc maybe will hold his paint on and will be secured against rust. Wiebrand |
Agreed. A car is useless if you dont drive it and drive it hard. Get some cheap stove paint and then you wont have to worry about rust.

Update:
Today I had an relax-day :D ... so not an full day working on the car, but I've spend some hours. Been busy at the handbrake-bracket and the pedals today. Here some not finished result of today. http://www.keversite.nl/fotoalbum/fotos/27972.jpg After that the sanding started over again :twisted: .. 15 pieces with small hooks and gabs :? Wiebrand |
did you use a milling machine to drill those pedals ?
|
What's an millingmachine?
WIebrand |
|
yeah, what he said
or did you use a hand drill, its just i thought it would be too much of a job for one of those little things |
Yes I used an bigger sort of milling machine to drill these holes. Till 20mm drils it's okay, if larger i get the milling machine that has no belt, but only cogwheels (up to 70mm drill).
