I got bored today, so thought I'd play around with the car a bit.

Took the door cards off the rear doors, taped up and tidied the wiring, and painted it all matt black.

I hope halfrauds are stocked up well - They all see you coming, "better order another pallet of matt black "

And then I get out my trade card and go "bargain time" I usually get 8 cans at a time About as much as a carrier bag will carry I've found LOL

Had some trouble with the bell housing Went to fit it to the engine and found it didn't fit Then looking around spotted in small writing "300TDI" so it's from the diesel Landie, not the V8 like it was sold to me as, so that was a pain in the ass, but a couple of phone calls to the place and they're sending me the right one free of charge and unless they can arrange a courier to come n get the wrong one, I've now got a bell housing to put on the landie gearbox I have and sell it so hopefully get more money from it that way


Been cleaning today. Getting all the paint and crap off the rocker covers and the starter motor, and given it a bit of a polish, but it's still a 34 year old engine so gonna keep a bit of the older look on it, think it'll look nicer like that.

Why clean the engine when you only going to spray it black

[Crazy_C]

Not all of it will be black. The engine is gonna be black with some polished bits

[Kawa]

sweet - you could do a blinging engine bay - bit of a sleeper thingy
