thanks! I'm glad you like it.
more slow progress with this..
firstly, someone wanted to buy my "bomex" wing, which I got down from the rafters of the garage to take some pictures but decided I actually like it so I've fitted it
which took quite a bit of this
as the mould was a little rough in places, and I didn't have, or want to use the original bomex brackets so had to fill those holes in
I fitted it by drilling it to suit the standard fixing holes and putting alloy rivnuts in the GRP, then bonding it to the boot lid, for extra security.. it's going nowhere now.
and then I bought this, so I can blast some colour on it when I get a day that's warm enough
the next thing on the agenda was to address the NSR wheel bearing..
I bought a pair of used hubs from a local trader/breaker, the bearings were actually fine but the hubs were really grotty, so I put them into my friendly blasters to clean them up and got them back today, I removed the disc back plates, studs and ABS sensors (they had been cut off the donor car)
unfortunately the bolts for the ABS sensors snapped
so I had to drill them out and re-tap the holes
I've already got 10mm longer studs to go into the hubs, I'll be buying some new rear control arm bearing/bushes and wheel bearings (actually I had bought the wheel bearings but the wrong ones arrived) so I can get them built up then I'll wet spray them once they're built up.
I'm slowly trying to chip away at the jobs that need doing, next will be to replace the flexi on the HKS exhaust.
