Cheers john

Well update at last:

Today I took my dash out again so I can get it redone as it started to lift in places and it started to crack because of the sun!

Was a very busy boy today!

Dash ready to be withdrawn





Scuttle unit off



Dash withdrawn from home





All the goods layed out







The damaged bits





That was the dash ready to go back to my friends unit to get done again!

Then I started on ze beam

One beam on the car



One beam off



Then beam on and car on the floor to check it's all true and right places that the wheels should sit





Then all it came back off again



All cushty so ready to go to the Powdercoaters

Then just because I was bored and wanted to see if they would come up alright I cleaned one of the brake lines

Before



After



Therefore this means the brake lines are all coming off and getting cleaned and then the whole underneath of the car is being stripped and undersealed then painted Arden blue

Thanks guys!

Mark: it's not that hard I did it on my own on the floor with very limited tools. So you will be fine

Steve: it's very safe bud. Me or my dad wouldn't put it on my car if it wasn't safe enough. We have been reassured that it is safe and good to use.

Cheers mate

Iv had a long think and I think I'm just gonna for now underseal and stone chip the whole under side and arches again. Then paint the arches. Then leave the Arden blue underside until engine is out so I can do a proper job, engine bay the lot. But at least it will be all protected under there! Just a case of painting it next year when turbo power is here will still spray the underside parts tho to freshen them up! Sorry if I have disappointed but I dont want to do a rush it job!
