What a day... Lol

Got over to see the car for the first time with paint on this morning like an excited kid. Very happy with colour etc.
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/b2cc930f.jpg
Set about fitting windows and rear was nice and easy along with rear sides.
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/ee1a3b1d.jpg
Stew helped fit windscreen, at that point I went to get brake lines and few other bits.
http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/a...r/796dce2c.jpg
Came back to find Stew and Ian (bod) working on it and they had fitted master cylinder, handbrake and cables, clutch cylinder and the boot and were in the process of fitting passenger door.
Bonnet, wings were slotted on and arches fitted mainly to stop the risk of damage with them sat around.
It then went on the ramp and stew and ian piped up the rear brakes in braided lines :)

I am over the moon with todays progress and never dreamed we would get this far.

:tissue: Very nice mate :-) Very good finish on the paint too, are you going to coloursand it before polishing?

Jolly Green Monster 28-04-2011 01:15 AM

I am not doing the paint, neighbouring paintshop are.

They are flattenning the paint with something and then polishing yes.

Bonnet and wings are flattenned but not polished in the pics.

They are having the car back tomorrow once stew has fitted the drivers door

Looking Good Simon,

Purely just of interest why are you not using copper brake lines?

What is the advantage of the flexible ones apart from ease of bending,

are they more efficient I suppose they must be?

Jolly Green Monster 03-05-2011 08:20 PM

Ease of fitment, quick to fit.
If anything they probably flex in operation more than copper lines but with servo unlikely to notice. Having driving with no servo and a pedal box I prefer with servo and a little more pedal movement is fine for feel. They bleed up really nice and pedal feels solid.
