Feeling it in my neck today with crawling about and holding myself in funny angles to see what i was doing under there

Go on then.
Nice to see someone making progress as I'm just going round in circles with mine:lol

Nice one Elts

I'll hold my end of the deal up and try and upload anything I've taken in the run up to you doing the powdercoating, people may be confused as to where all those bits have come from lol!!!!

As promised, I'd better give a little update on whats been going on with the 3.0 refurb as I've had Elts on the graft too in order to get it roadworthy again tothe highest possible standards

The cement splatters were a success!!! The job is still only half done but I'm content in the knowledge that I'm equipped to finish it :naughty

Bostik Brick Acid works a treat and hasn't had any effects on the top coat or lacquer from what I can see.

This was the door before;

This was after

Need to get some better daylight pics really :thumb2 Just notpretty to look at at the moment with nothing bolted onto her just naked in the wind on those axle stands :lol :nenau

Name a part that didn't come off???!!!

The tank was an interesting one, there was almost 50 litres of fuel in it but it was 5 years old at least and there were some funny gunky black bits in it :nenau You know me though!!! I pumped it out through a 1 micron sock and straight into Terrance and he loved every drop :lol I didn't break any of the tank bolts either

The tanks going to be stripped and painted and fully cleaned inside as I did with the other 3.0 I refurbished

Have you ever flexed on Axle stands? :lol :lol :lol
*****DISCLAIMER******* DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME, ALL STUNTS WERE CARRIED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL IDIOT

And here's a random picture of one of the dustpans full of crud I've managed to clean out of the Terrano's rear end and that was just with stiff brush!!!

Well done Banshee and Elty, that truck is going to be mint. God I’m missing my 3 litre.

 

[terranosaurusdoug]

WHAT???? You took something off a terrano without without snapping a bolt????, I'll phone Guinness book of records for you mate :lol:lol

 

[FerdiNL]

Last time I've snapt a bolt it was during putting something back :augie

 

[Banshee]

Just putting the feelers out there, is there any interest in the truck at this point?

As soon as it's roadworthy and there's an MOT on it, it's going on AutoTrader and eBay.

I'm asking £2500 no negotiations as you won't find one cleaner

 

[Banshee]

Update time

Going to let the pictures do the talking, you guys know the drill, if you want to know anything shout up :naughty

Powedercoated parts in storage

The grime you can unearth is amazing

Found a sill needing a small patch up :thumb2

Some prep on the fuel tank, decided against powdercoating this on advice from a few trusted pals

Might be able to save the filler neck!!

Bit of exhaust work now? The existing exhaust system was looking a bit tired and I was going to order a new one but after a bit of a cleanup I've decided to spray it VHT and fit a new flexi in the front downpipe :naughty

Stripping the old crud off the front ends

A random rear end shot :naughty

This one will make you wince currently but as the experienced of you amongst us know, that is a solid base to tidy up :bow

The finally to bring the mood back to where it should be..........

Look at all these nice new shiny parts ready to strap on when I've Waxoyled :naughty

 

[Banshee]

Forgot to add these!!!

I was cleaning the fuel tank some more this evening and I've cleaned the inside out clean as a whistle now

Before

After

 

[Flying Torquewrench]

Certainly some good progress there!

How does that VHT paint work on exhausts? Is it any good?
Might be a good idea to paint my new exhaust before installing it. Hopefully it will make last a bit longer then 5 years.

 

[elty001]

I used to do the full system on my quad with black vht paint and used to last well:thumb2
