Sharpie Pen Should Sort This out Charlie...

Ouch has it damaged the surface or just the paint?

Damaged the surface in some places. The standard finish wasn't great anyway so I had planned to get them refurbed. Just not so soon

Ahh that's a shame as paint damage could've been temporarily touched up. Nice wheels IMO they set the car off nicely something a bit different from the usual choice of spiders even though I do like them as well.

Ah hard luck, Charlie... but has given you an excuse  

After some gentle persuasion by Leenel88 I am going to dubs mania on the 1st June.

Got a few bits I want to get done before then, so a few little updates to follow.

In the mean time, Dave (daveandLolli) followed me for the first lap around castle Combe at the spring action day. Here's his video

Excuse the sound though

I broke it! I had to pop to halfords to get some paint and on the way home ***BANG***

I blew up a rear brake pad :(

I blew up a rear brake pad :(

 

Holy turd..! I've never seen that happen before..! :/

Seized caliper, too much heat?

I've had that, all I had left was the pad backing plate! Made a terrible noise when braking! I'm guessing you run vented rear brakes? You can get shiny new pair fully painted up for about £110 on Ebay pm me if you need a link

Shouldn't be. They've only been on for 2 years and fitted the caliper release springs to help too.

Thanks Joe. Yes I've got vented discs. If you could PM a link that would be great

Think I found the problem.

Here's the "matching" pad

The powder coat has started flaking off my calipers too which is a pain

Not sure if I should fully remove it and repaint it black or find a new colour and do all of them

A few bits done today. My car has a tongue!

And I found a new dip stick handle to try

Think I need to paint the dip stick tube now though

The chassis that holds the vacuum box was looking a bit of a state, but I'd run out of paint. So used some left over brushed aluminium vinyl to wrap it. Looks ok I think

Yeah that looks very tidy mate!

Will match my engine cover

Skip to last page.

So brother 2 was helping brother 3 with some suspension parts today but my car got wounded :(

:( Hopefully that will polish out, Charlie

Sadly it won't :(

bummer :(
