My new 240k Hardtop

I can only wish my C110 was this well presented. Keep it up your kinda not really almost finished

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.

Had a long chat with the body shop about you're car...apparently it's very close to paint.

Thinking of sending mine there eventually

[Laggy6]

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?

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!

Love it!!!!!! Least you've got a nice new screen

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.

Was wondering what has been happening to yours mate. Nice find of the engine parts. I'm still hunting an l28

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.

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.

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.
