I'm still waiting on my second swivel housing, but in the meantime I've got one completed. :)
I've also got the half shafts rebuilt, new distance pieces, unis etc.
I'll be using the KBS Coatings system on all parts and the chassis, it's awesome stuff.
I've already learnt that less is more however, its very intolerant of thick coats.
I've got their engine paint too.
That looks pretty darn good I will google up this KBS stuff. :)
Yeah its similar to POR15, if you have seen it. The difference is its Australian and way cheaper for that reason.Quote:

The last couple of days have been dedicated to degreasing and etching the engine, today was paint.
Happy with the result, the colour is lighter in the flesh. (is a metallic)
The alloy parts need a buff, the black parts need paint, then it's done.
Have you rebuilt it or doesn't it need it?Quote:

A full rebuild is out of the budget, it will be done at a later stage if required.Quote:
