Project CLEMY: tin-top restoration. 16v turbo

MarkieG said

Coachworks and spraying being done by Everymans Garage. A really talented bunch of good guys. A very good recommendation from JMR.  https://www.everymansgarage.co.uk/

Looking forward to further pictures.  Just love a freshly painted Lhasa!

8v head has been completed and put on now. Just looking for an air intake manifold if anyone can help? (See post above)

G60 intake manifold looking all nice and shiny and ready to breathe!

More prep photos here. All the little dinks and rust have been removed and made good. Almost prepared for final painting!


















































Final Spraying pictures to follow!!

Painting has now been completed! She's looking shiny and white and ready to move on to the next stage which will be a steerable rolling shell.

CLEMY is now back with JMR while the paint fully cures before she gets a waxing and new mounts and rubbers all around…I've managed to source myself a set of OZ Route 14"x7" period alloys, so they're going off for some love and restoration!

Here are the OZ Route 14" x 7 " alloys which have been sent off to The Wheel Specialist in Fareham.
Diamond cut is too hard to maintain so I am thinking of chrome powder coated outer rim… unsure on what colour to do the inner spokes but I was thinking in the same Alpine White for obvious reasons. Suggestions welcome!

Its time to get the door cards retrimmed so I thought I'd see if anyone on here has anyone they can recommend?
Nothing fancy - besides, the prices on ebay are TOTALLY redonkulous!

Rims are completed refurbished now and are looking better than I expected! The reflection from the Chrome Powder coating is next-level beautiful in my opinion!

In a stroke of luck, a Corrado heading up the G-Ladder to the scrapyard in the sky happened to cross my path!

It was too good an option to pass up so rather than a turbo, I am going the G60 route!
A relatively new ECU, all wiring, rads, hoses and other paraphernalia. The charger will get a rebuild obviously.


Staring down the barrel of the cannon…

Cheeky…

Yes they absolutely do.

They're super busy but call John on 01903 718684.

brilliant  

nice project too

Lots of plated screws, brackets, washers and plates ready to go back on…





Brand new fuel tank, stainless steel fuel pump bracket around the original black foam jacket which is still in great condition.





New fuel lines, handbrake cables and more sandblasted & powder-coated black bits of metal than you can shake an anti-roll bar at!

Ladies and gents, you're looking at THE FIRST set of KW Classics in full glorious black, going onto my car. 







 

Lovely new arch covers going on…

JMR have done an amazing hydraulic clutch conversion which looks totally OEM. It's mounted onto the steering column so it takes up minimal space and just needs to be sprayed up now.
