Hey John - I hear Bis has been corrupting you with talk of side-skirts and front splitters?

So in no particular order I got some jobs finished off with Dave this week. The front brakes are done, hose to and from the master cylinders and calipers attached. More cleaning inside and under the chassis, inside and round the fuel tank area which just leaves underneath at some point when I'm really really bored in the future. I didn't take many photos as they don't really show anything significant. Carried on and finished the charcoal canister bracket with two coats of POR black. Also did some silver POR prepping and painting on the chassis.  Bring on more silicon piping!

Not at the moment, lots of waiting around get things like this done as well as more shot blasting and zinc coating, new speed sensor mounts and I need a few bits as well.

 

Once I get all that sorted it'll take a day or so to get everything back on, subframe, wishbones etc....

No problem Jonny. Thanks for the ice cream today.

Great job your are doing in your car. You have a lot more patience than me with the cleaning duties.
