seanl82 23 Posted August 15, 2017 Looks ace. Can't wait to get to this. Seems I'm stuck still cleaning the underside as it'll be pointless putting nice shiny bits back onto a filthy bottom! lol. Why has no one mentioned about the F40 engine! What is that doing there!? :crazyeyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seanl82 23 Posted August 15, 2017 Did you paint your rod ends and ball joints? I'd replaced mine about a year and 1k miles before taking it off the road and there was already surface rust on them so I'll probably paint them as well. Did you just mask up the boots if so? I've got some epoxy paint for my running gear refurb which I'll be using. I've de-greased and sanded back the rear beam and I'll be doing the rest of the rear end parts and painting friday hopefully. Starting that end first. More details on the F40 too! :thumbleft: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More details on the F40 too! :thumbleft: Yeah I masked off the rubber boots and the face of the trackrod that hits the locking nut and painted with a couple of coats of Eastwood Chassis black - I dont like the fact that they come in bare steel, like you say they only have to be on a short while and the rust is on it. Not sure on the F40 details... its up at my mates place... he's done a lot of work on it... what he calls "Germanizing it" as a lot of the factory stuff is just a lashy afterthought..

Geeba 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Hi Giles the powdercoaring looks awesome Sent from my SM-G357FZ using Tapatalk Morning Chris Cheers mate ;) Yeah its starting to come together a little now, before it was an oily mess everywhere but now bits are ether new or restored... hopefully I can spend a bit of time getting the engine bay ready this weekend - still cant decide if its just a clean up or a re-paint.

Geeba 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Meyle engine mounts? Anyone used them? - seem to be about all I can find without an obscure brand name... ABS/Wheel speed sensors? Go for the £50+ (£130 each for rear) Bosch items or is Delphi / Pagid (considerably less) good enough? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeba 0 Posted August 16, 2017 Great work Giles!....I got sub frame envy! Cheers spen ;) Its a lot further than I expected to go - but I thought "in for a penny! - in for a £" may as well do it right and then enjoy it. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Geeba 0 Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) Anyone bought Meyle engine mounts? I want to put the rear engine and gearbox mount as a standard one... are these as close to OEM as you can get now? ** as far as I can see Meyle have all their parts made in China and just shipped to Germany....
