PLZ818 Posted September 12, 2013 Share #181 Posted September 12, 2013 I can only wish my C110 was this well presented.

Laggy6 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share #182 Posted October 21, 2013 The tub of Zink bits are pieces are back from plating, I had the bumpers re-chromed too. Now all I need is a painted shell to put them on. Some of these pieces were either slightly pitted or had small dents and scrapes on them so I sandblasted them and filled the blemishes with high build primer then sanded them true.

Laggy6 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share #184 Posted November 5, 2013 Yeah, I think the bay and boot will get done in the next few weeks. If you sent your car over how much would you get them to do?

Laggy6 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share #185 Posted November 5, 2013 Started bolting/screwing pieces together. And found this new windscreen. I went to a windscreen supply warehouse asking about them and they had one in stock, When they pulled it down from the rack it was FILTHY dirty and the plastic wrapping around it was falling apart. Check the manufacture date, I guess they don't sell many of them!

Laggy6 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share #187 Posted December 17, 2013 There hasn't been a lot to update lately but I picked up a F54 block (flat top) and a N42 head the other day which are now at the engine shop for a rebuild/tweak. Hopefully by the time it's built I will have the shell back and partly assembled ready to drop in.

Laggy6 Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share #190 Posted February 17, 2014 First bit of colour is on, most of the underbody is silver over schutz except for the spare wheel area which is just colour then clear.

Yamahacam Posted March 7, 2014 Share #191 Posted March 7, 2014 Hey mate, fantastic work. Zinc parts look great. Is it expensive to get done? Do they charge by weight? Looking to get some done but have heard it's expensive.

Laggy6 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share #192 Posted March 10, 2014 Hi Cam, I can't find the receipt but I think the whole lot was around $400-500 to do (not including the bumpers). The smaller items like nuts, bolts and washers are charged by either weight or by barrel full, I can't remember exactly which but it's quite cheap. The larger pieces like headlight buckets, pulleys and horn bits that won't fit in the barrel are more expensive because they are manually wired into position and they charge you by the area they take up while hanging in the tank. While I'm posting, here's a pic of the engine bay.
