Youre missing some great fun stripping a 101 down to bare metal :roll:

Quote from: "thermidorthelobster"

The wheels will be painted as soon as I can stop the hubs leaking for long enough.  I painted the front grille red last night, which looks good.


I've started doing the wheels on mine black to make the oil leaks less obvious. I've also attempted to make them seal and then slapped a couple of layers of paint over the whole hub - so the paint might keep the oil in too  :lol:

No sirey bob! Took me 2 years to strip it last time, and to be fair Mum did 3/4's while I restored JLO for my sis.

Still Dave , on the bright side.. next event you go to can I park next to you? Take the rivet counters eyes off the gutted prototype  :roll:

Nice one!  :D

You need to paint the wheels too though! - theyre letting it down!

Did you do any/much surface prep before painting? and what sort of paint did you use?


Spirals would look on them :wink:

I tried spirals on a Morris Minor van once. They didn't work too well. The wheel centres need to be flat to work properly...... sorry, was I taking the suggestion a little too seriously??  :oops:  :lol:

The Minor van was painted top half sky blue, bottom half grass green. And then a fortune was spent on Humbrol enamel tins to paint flowers, trees, birds, butterflies, etc... It had the rear view of an elephant on the back with a mouse sat next to it!

In the end, the paint that was left over was all dumped in one pot and it came out a salmon pink.... we used that on the wheels  :lol: So how about do that? Mix all that's left over for the wheels?  8)

Blimey, 8 hours out there today, and only 1 10 minute break for a cuppa...  I forgot I could actually work quite hard!

I think it's pretty much painted now - did the rollcage today and touched up the colours.  There's a lot of cage...  I need to finish priming the roof and paint it, but I'm out of primer, and it won't actually take that long because it's large and flat - the roller will do a treat.

But it's looking good - well I think so, anyway.  I'll post another pic next time it's daylight.
