I hate this stage in a build, feels like I spend hours with the grinder but doesn't feel like any progress, parts scattered everywhere with little room to work!

Well Ive spent the day creaming all over it, so hopefully that should be the bodywork done so I can get on with building it back up and finishing off the box.

looking good matt, is that old english white? It used to be OEW but ive now gone for another colour that is slightly creamier. :) On 11th Mar, 2012 tadge44 said:

I did indeed, after stripping the whole top end down, I realised that all it was, was the reed valves on top of the compressor had drawn in paint and with the heat of the compressor it had cured and partially seald them up. So a relatively easy fix in the end. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

I used 2k to paint it. Used the fast hardner mixed 2:3 ratio (2 parts paint 3 hardner) to 200ml of paint gives you 500ml when mixed. Ive used just under 1L to paint the underside of floor, top side of the floor, C pillars, parcel shelf, rear bench, both sides of the bulkhead and the front window surround. So it goes a long way.

Just be careful that you don't fuck your space heater by it drawing the overspray through it. Mate of mine fucked his this way.

Ah yeah only use the heater before painting, then switch it off whilst painting.

Afternoon gents, cheers for your comments, oh wicked, so i dont need to worry to much about having to bake it like in a propper oven, as long as i can get heat on it before and after, by which then the fumes should have settled..... ? suppose i can just place the space heater in the door opening.

No worries, the main thing is to make sure is its a dry day (no moisture in the air). No need to bake it on really, I'd recommend using the fast acting hardner though. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

It turns out I can't use standard input gears toegther so looks like its going to be some custom ones. Ive been thinking about running the engine backwards to avoid the extra gear, the only major problem I can think of is the direction of the oil pump, which I can't see an easy solution to? Have not visited this site in a long time, found this thread again and read the whole thing from start to finish. Amazing work you are doing. Maybe you could eliminate the idler by using a chain. BMC competitions department tried it, they experimented with chain drive to eliminate the idler gear.
