Time Warp Pi
Posted: Sun May 06, 2018 3:36 pm
I bought this pi 5 years ago. I've decided it needs to come out of storage and back on the road as it has only been on the tarmac for 10 years of its life always garaged and only covered a mere 11000 miles on the 4 Goodyear G800 tyres from new.
The welding machine gave a sigh of relief but not for long, the MK1 is still happening I've contacted Lloyd as the rear arches are going to need replacing, with so many repairs I’m trying to obtain all the panels and parts so when I start I can finish it completely.
I've booked a couple of weeks holiday to really get stuck into this car it because the previous owner has stripped out the interior including everything under the bonnet. The underside is a mix of epoxy like por15 over bare metal, some over of the orignal paint and a bit of Hammerite thrown in. I’m going to strip all the paint back to bare metal to avoid a paint reaction scenario. So I'll post pics of the progress on here.
And the scratching head moment! The dremmel came out and paint removed from every usual suspect area on the whole of the cars panelwork with no sign of rust. I’m sure t cut would have sufficed. Chat with the sprayer next.
