Also today some little parts blasted;
-Window runway of the doors
-The edges of 3 bunnethoods blasted. The original one comes out to be the best one.
-Gearbox-bracket
-Enginehood the underside blasted
-Torsionplates
-And some tubes of the rollcage

After that I cleaned up an bit (because the compressor has to be back on monday morning (now almost an week ago).

After that I scotched the body with P180 and cleaned the body with thinner. What an work was that (almost 4 hours of work to do the completed body). And after that the body finally set in the expensive Epoxy Primer.

Fast some pics of the body in epoxy.

SSSSSSSOOOOOO last thursday I've done something on my car (after I have worked the hole day).

This was finally the first night in two weeks that goes smooth. Everything goes as planned (what was not in the past couple of days :? )

At first I picked up the handbrakelever, then it was machined to the right diameter and after that the anti-slip traction was machined on it (don't knopw the right words for it). .. WHAT AN BEAUTY :shock: .. I'm just proud of it.... An handmade hydraulic handbrake that just looks damn nice also. After that i welded something on the handbrakebracket and put everything together.

After that the rollcage was scotched, cleaned with thinner and around midnight set in the EP.



The last friday I have to do verry verry much to be ready for the show on last saturday.

Off course do I know that. I look things hardly through, before I do something. That's why there are big gabs made in the handbrake-bracket so that the original handbrake-cables still can be used (on this handbrake) to go through the yearly safety-check (APK).
