CL10 CYA project

[Sean197]

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]

 

[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

 

[Sean.R]

It's going to look tidy when it's all finished.
But I will probably scratch it when I pop it all back in



Popped some fuel bulkhead fittings in, rather than running a hose through a grommet, the old ones had worn away so had a fuel hose rubbing on the metal

 

[Sean.R]

Garage beers are the best beers. -1 here so beer always cold (shame it's crap beer)!

 

[Sean.R]

Has anyone got one of these fitted? Got a few questions.
The car came with the air filter & intercooler from Air-tech brand new, however, everything is mixed up so just trying to work out what goes with what



Guess I have a nice little place to mount Rs Rows battery re-location kit



And the next issue, where to stick this thing, can't pop it by the ECU due to the fuel lines

 

[Sean.R]

Next big issue is sorting this right mess out.



Also need to work out how to get the fuel lines through the plate while still looking good, I have a selection of grommets and dust proof grommets arriving this week



Need to find a way to get fuel hoses through the plate

 

[VeiRoNv2]

Looking like great progress, looking forward to the build!

 

[Sean.R]

Just plodding along when time allows
Ready for the clean and paint

Next items for paint



Making slow progress with this.
Decided to order up some 45 degree fittings see if that will help



Off to pick up the new seats tomorrow

 

[Sean.R]

Engine mounts painted and back in.
Dam rusty bolts
I have just received a plating kit but at the moment it seems a lot of hassle for some shiny bolts
