well picked up my caliper and subframe paint today so that should keep me busy this week coming.after buying wire brush attachments for my drill from b&q at £8 each i found that the builders merchants that i use for my work sell them for £1.60 so bought some from there and some nice grit stones for finishing with will do pics as i get on with it
a bit more progress
well been messing about this weekend cleaning up the calipers and such so a few more pics on the progress and yes the forth road bridge got painted quicker lol

like the tartan sig jimmy,you kidding this is the practise run on the black cat still got the blurple to do too lol
reckon we could do with a project section on here ! got one on the xr forum i'm on, looking good by the way 
every ones got a project on here lol,just back down from loft second coat now on i reckon another 2 coats and should do the job,just need to source the caliper repair kits so theres new seals etc on them
well decided to paint the drivers side of subframe since it wasnt to cold and dry today so done that and touched up bits here and there that were starting to rust on chassis.then i thought i will put the drivers side back together fitted the strut and got the new cv out the box ready to fit and low and behold its the wrong spline count aghhhhhhhh,so will have to wait for correct ones to be sent out to me now oh the joys of it lol
well been busy on the back end of the blurple after chipping and hammering of the rust on the subframe and cleaned up the trailing arms and other bits linked to rear sub they have now all been painted only knocked one small hole in subrame so will be going in to get plated along with a hole in the rear cill,was trying to find out the metal to metal noise i could hear so i have cleaned up the back discs and calipers as the pads were stuck solid in them and a small build of rust on the discs had given them the lip effect but all in a productive day and the rear struts have had it so will need to save the pennies for new ones now
finally got the finger out with the black cat and rebuilt the drivers side now for the passenger side,so hers a few pics of it built up
Very.....................PRETTY......
Exellent job that Paul, but don't you just hate the fact that next time you see them, they'll all be filthy with road dirt and rust.
