Little update from mois.
Rear wheel cylinder decided to failure massively last wednesday on the way home from work. M1, 65mph is, downhill into traffic with no brakes was not a massively pleasent experience. Its had new cylinders, shoes, cables and drums as a result. I powdercoated the drums in the same blue ive been doing all the little pieces. I quite like it.
While I was out to play, fitted the new cambelt cover too. Again painted in the same blue, this time its a high gloss 2k rather than powder. One of the welders at work likes to play with pinstriping in his spare time so over a 10 minute break at work he doodled on it.
Just had a quick wash. My method. Rinse with water. Wash with Wilkos car soap and a sponge. Rinse with water. I did get right under as far as the exhaust tunnel in an attempt to keep as much salt off it as possible. I dont want this one to rot away.
I'm hoping to get it into work sometime early next year and repaint it. Its had a home brew job as somepoint in the last year by the previous owner..Its glossy enough but its a bit pimply and theres a nice sag on the bootlid swage line. Also, where they've not properly wiped it down prior to painting there are little inclusions which are starting to discolour. I think i'll be going over it with a commerical poly-extra 2k rather than real car paint though.
