davidwort 0 Posted June 1, 2015 in other news the 2k paint on the bonnet has now fully cured and I'll be spending the next 6 months cutting and polishing it, it's rock hard compared to the cellulose :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) finally, finally, finally cut and polished up the bonnet, that 2k paint is hard work so I bought a variable speed rotary polisher with a foam cutting pad, Amazon still took me days, pleased with the result though. 20150704_183442 by David0011, on Flickr Edited July 5, 2015 by davidwort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted July 5, 2015 Looking really good mate. Hats off to you for sorting it. I'm happy to try my hand at most mechanical items but bodywork is a dark art as far as I'm concerned. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davidwort 0 Posted August 24, 2015 MOT time again, failed last week on the rear wheel bearing adjustment, picky tester IMO although the offside rear was probably a bit too wobbly :) He seemed happier this time after I tightened them up a little, so another 12 months ticket applied :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted August 24, 2015 Top work. Looking really good as well mate. Got my MOT due on Friday, bit worried as I was under it the other day and some of the brake lines aren't looking great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) well she's taxed and tested again and I've fitted new injectors recently, absolutely flies on them and so much smoother, should be after 27 years and 160k miles! Edited May 25, 2018 by davidwort Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, Could I ask where you purchased the injectors from? Thinking of changing them on my own kr, Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davidwort 0 Posted May 30, 2018 Hi, Could I ask where you purchased the injectors from? Thinking of changing them on my own kr, Thanks. there's a motor factor on ebay that does them for about £40 each but I waited until carparts4less had a 17% discount voucher code and I thin they worked out just over £35 each Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
