For now though, a picture or three, two more recent and one the day I picked it up!  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge img] Best, Duggie. [/img] |

Got a little bored today and had some countersunk stainless Allen bolts spare, decided the O/S wingtop vent needed to match the fixings holding the chequer plate onto the wing... Call me OCD.
Firstly removed the chequer plate that had been previously installed by Nene before I purchased the truck (not from them). It was interesting to see that the holes had not been treated after drilling and swarf hadn't been cleaned up, therefore marking/scratching the paint and allowing oxidisation to develop. Because of this I have widened the holes out to 9mm and shall be inserting riv-nuts to hold the hardware on. All stainless of course. Click image to enlarge Once the holes had been widened I then gave the upper wing a quick clean/polish and sealed it with smart guard from a dealership I used to work at. Then ran paint around the holes to seal from more corrosion. A job that should have been done in the first place. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge As I wasn't aware I was going to have to be inserting riv-nuts to correct a mistake, I am now waiting for an eBay delivery... But did manage to widen and countersink the holes on the old wingtop cover. Click image to enlarge I shall stick photos up of the final result once the riv-nuts have been delivered. A fairly boring update but that's what's been happening! Best, Doug. |

Quick little project update!
With electrical gremlins with the horn and lights having done my head in recently... (Lights still playing up but thank god the horn has stopped) I needed something to take my attention away from the annoyance. My brother bought be orange boost hoses for Christmas so I finally got around to fitting them, this got me thinking (never good... NEVER) engine bay colour schemes/tidy up. My plan is to eventually purchase the blue silicone coolant hoses available for the TD5 from many online sources and then perhaps inter cooler, turbo, who knows. However, a little while after fitting the hoses I did this: Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge This very quickly made me realise that the engine cover needed doing too... Please bare with me as I am quite a slow painter, my painting needs a lot of finishing due to runs, orange peel affect, etc. One thing I have also done is found a way to stop the oil filler flap rattling around too (yea, I could hear it over the other rattles). Here you can see I have drilled holes and fitted riv-nuts below the cover: Click image to enlarge And here you see the final fit/finish of the part: Click image to enlarge I now need to sand and prep the plastic for primer, this could take a while!! Know it won't be to everyone's taste but you won't be seeing it very often... Oh wait... You might actually. Best, Duggie. |
