Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

So today I created about 75 minutes early morning……

Followed by stealing some time this afternoon from work, clocking out at 4.00pm

So I painted the once side, then the other, taking one wheel off at a time to create easier access.

At this point I ran out of paint this morning…….

I sis not paint the springs or shocks as I am planning to add shorter springs and shocks, if I can find them, or else follow the teachings of the master @pauly and call in Mr Grinder for a loop or two.



So at lunchtime, taken at 4.00pm I ran into the village and got lucky, the local hardware guy, normally overpriced, had 1 liter of smooth Black Hammerite for £20.00 which is what B&Q charge for 750ml

Then back home and straight into finishing off the painting, and adding touch up and a second coat on parts of the structure.

Done.

Top side.



Bottom view.



I am contemplating going for vented Ford Capri 2.8 front discs and callipers.

And then of course my good mate JB Mathews in Oklahoma challenged me today, asking if the MX5 brakes and discs could not be transfered.

So there is tonights challenge question.


Ready for me to buy the Poly Bushes needed for the rebushing.




Looking for something else for work today, I found this little rocket pic.

Reminded me that I still want or need to create a logo for the Rezin Rockit

One year later this is getting better every day for me.

Lockdown and working from home is not ideal.

Therapy I guess.
