Doc's KE20: - really coming together now

[The Doctor]

spent a full day cleaning the enginebay, ready for a lick of paint soon!





wind down the coilovers a bit :wink:



and then i got bored of the cleaning job, and i placed a spare head in the enginebay, to look how it all fits (just ), exhaust is going to be a story on it's own though...

[The Doctor]

Today Dennis brought my freshly painted valve cover in!




Have to wait a few days untill the paint hardens, then i'm going to sand the higher area's on the cover to really get them to stand out!

Dennis did a sterling job, thank you sir!

It dries in 1h if you put it in the oven

Looking sweet!

[The Doctor]

it has been underneath an IR lamp for about half an hour and an hour in the oven at 70 degrees allready

[oldskull]

Look nice... can he did mine too?

[rooty]

The Doctor

My bad. You probably didn't grease the lettering? It's much easier to scrape it off if you grease it.

cheers

[The Doctor]

no i didn't, ah well, you live and learn
now i need a block and some sandpaper and get sanding

[NoHachi]

Schweet dude! Looks classic

[banpei]

Haha! You finally did it!
It also looks really nice in close-up!

[The Doctor]

Good weather, so i've got my mojo back!
Did loads this weekend, here's a quick update!

My mate Dennis helped me alot this weekend (especially because he's better with the spraycan as i am! and he's also got tiny hands which do fit in 70s Toyota doors! )





In the meanwhile we did some other small jobs:

refitted all the locks, so the door works again! all rubbers are back in too.



rear bumper refitted:



Also i tried the rooflining on, just held in with keepyourlaundryontheline devices, i think i'll get this in very nicely!




also started on refitting the interior and painted the upperdash:



next on the line is the rear seat and the cage. But the rooflining needs to be done first!

Need to order a clutch and then the engine can go in too!

Thanks Dennis!
