Where about are you mate?

Cupar

 

[Sean.R]

Excellent
Just along the road then. I am in Kinross
Probably cross paths at some point

His place has everything you would ever need.
My go-to place now

 

[Sean.R]

Had my helper in the garage tonight

 

[Sean.R]

So while I was at Renomotive today
I spotted a Ph1 flamer

So I mentioned that my first CS was a ph1 back in 2004 (I think)
And it was a weird car as it had a sunroof fitted and I have never seen a CS with a sunroof.

His eyes lit up and he asked if the reg ended in BOB

It did - so we walked round the back




And there he was

 

[Sean.R]

I'm going to create a small paint booth for painting all the engine parts.

I found a small 2kW heater at a bargain price, seen as my garage is a second fridge at the moment

It will go in the gazebo once I'm finished with it; another bargain.

 

[Sean.R]

Little paint booth setup
Time to start getting engine parts off, cleaned and painted

 

[Sean.R]

Few pictures of the engine
Some parts look like they have been underwater for a few years

[Sean.R]

This is a bit alarming to start with

Water in the coils some worse than others.
Hopefully it's just rain water - it did sit outside for a few months with no bonnet

 

[Sean.R]

First out of paint is the ECU bracket



Engine parts in next.
Trying to get a rolling setup here around my work and paint drying
And that heat lamp is unreal - too hot

 

[Sean.R]

Must admit I am impressed with how these have come out

Just hope it lasts.
Using Hycote aluminium spray paint

Just need to sort out cleaning all the bolts somehow

 

[Tarticmonkey]

What prep did you do before painting with that?

 

[Sean.R]

the parts were heavily oxidized so cleaned up with the wire brushes on the drill and Dremel for the hard-to-reach bits
cleaned with brake cleaner
roughed up with some uber fine sandpaper to key the metal
primed with Zinc 182 (i think)
then painted with Hycote

A mate did this last year with his engine and its lasted very well
