All the rust holes make it a spaghetti strainer

 

[Jesterarts]

Ahh.... so nothing to do with being italian...

Now it makes sense...

 

[Dirbatua]

Oh dear........I think that was a bad joke.


Very bad indeed. Lol.

well, even on a stinker of a day(not as bad as last few though) i managed to do some work to the bmw.

we threw in some new plugs, coil, points and leads. will do oil and other stuff another day.

and i cleaned up the RHS rear window after the rust kill last week, primed it and slapped on some paint, just pressure packed it, as i will do with the rest of the bits we have to clean up for now. i'll do it all properly later on down the track when its on the road and i get bored.

its not perfect, didnt bother smoothing it, it just has to look one colour for now.

the new paints noticeably bluer, and more metallic. either the respray someone else did was with a different colour, or it was a while ago and its faded a bit. either way, its a close enough match for now.

plan is end of feb, way its going, it should be done by then.

scored some mx5 seats for it tonight, quick spin to melb and back and here they are:

one rip on either side of the drivers seat, but other than that and being a bit dusty, theyre pretty good. feel alright to sit in, just gotta work out how to bolt them in.

and theyre in.

still need to paint the brackets and bolts, put some nylocks on the seat bolts and change the shitty 6mm bolts on the chassis to 10mm, and itll be all good. oh and a quick clean of the seats

feel brilliant to sit in, cant wait to drive it

our elaborate # pattern bracket, works good. might go to a 6mm thick bar later, see if it passes roady first and see how it fares after a bit of driving.

later on i want to drop the back a bit more, so you're sitting IN the seat as opposed to sort of ON it.
