hey all

thought i would post up pics of my 33 i have just repainted.

i just turned 3rd year apprentice and this was about my 5th complete repaint

not telling the paint colour :woot: but painted my rims in straight white tinter so there as white as white can be!

i did not complete the panel work got my apprentice panel beater friend to do that for me which took about a week after hours, the paint side took me 2 weeks after hours

the panel beater used minimal bog, just re skimmed the existing bog in the quarters to get rid of waves

i painted all the "insides" and all small bits spoiler mirrors handles etc at home, then drove to work and used the booth to do the outside and bumper bars

i also repainted the wipers and side pillars in black and that completed the respray making the whole thing look new again

i didnt bother doing the engine bay as simply too much effort takaing the engine out to do it, and masking it up would have been a absouloute c**t. plus being black it doesnt look too bad anyway

enjoy :D

Looks good mate! Being in the industry is always a good thing! I'm an apprentice mechanic myself with a few panel beater ans spray painter mates, so you cant beat mates rates!

Just a warning with those wheels... They're a c*nt to clean! I've got the same ones in white, and I want to paint them black :bunny:

Anything else planned for this?

You can always put a few coats of Kandy(ur choice of color) over the top later on if you get too sick being the same Blue as the others.U sprayed it didnt u ,so youll be able to handle that,, P.S whenever u buy or paint something , straight after you start noticing people with the same sh*t,, everytime :down:

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
