Mopedmark Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hi again Zedder, 2 weeks ago I had MikeyM bring his azure blue up for some engine bay work, so here is how it went, I had taken the covers off at this point and put the core brace in place so I could measure up to cut n shut the air box he picked up, As you can see from these photos it needed a dam good sort out, so we got to work cleaning etc, on my to do list was to clean and paint the front of the engine aluminium silver Then it was to paint the slam panel The air box got cut up and painted and fitted as did everything else Shiny parts started to get added and the rebuild went full swing And after a full 2 weeks she was all Shiny Mike and the good lady arrived and off he went a happy chappy 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus-350z Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Your work never ceases to amaze me Mark! What a fantastic transformation! By the way, which aluminium paint do you use for the front of the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mopedmark Posted May 14, 2016 Author Share Posted May 14, 2016 Your work never ceases to amaze me Mark! What a fantastic transformation! By the way, which aluminium paint do you use for the front of the engine? It's a VHT for engines they do a few different colours 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floydbax Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Nice work. I have a question - That air box looks sealed at the front where the air is designed to flow into it through that hole in the front of the car as it's moving. Isn't that restrictive?

veilside z Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 The big chrome tube flows the air into it from the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not blocked off it has a tube going through it to an air duck that sucks in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyM Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) I'm really pleased with every aspect of the work Mark has done on my engine bay. I had been buying various parts for some time and was going to do something myself with the bay, but having discovered Marks talent only a fool wouldn't exploit it 😉 Absolutely fantastic work.. I'm over the moon with the results 😆 Now it's custom headlights soon and then at the end of the season the Zed goes away for a 3 month makeover with custom bodywork all round, new alloys etc and then a great 2017 season enjoying the shows with everyone at last 😎 Edited May 14, 2016 by MikeyM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Out of interest I presume you painted the front of the engine in situ but how? I have a few bits of metal work in my engine bay that could do with tidying up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I do it in situ and it's all about the prep takes longer to get it ready than actually paint it but saying that it's for stages with the paint and I can do it over 2 days weather permitting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
