Finish painting my subframe

Oh, and find the front of my car

Squirt/Spray waxoil in all the hollow bits of the subframe before and the bottom wishbones. what are you painting the subframes with (paint, i know Doh!) but what type?? i was going to use POR15 from Frosts, which i understand is a two pack epoxy. Car looks good, like the tidy garage too!!

New exhaust system, sort out the rattles, and paint and seal the underside.
Mostly I just want to get the roof off and drive it again.

Large amounts of waxoil in every crevice all ready done, Went for the cheap option of smoothrite on the subframe as i had some left over from doing the drainpipes on the house, did also do a layer of hammerright undercoat with some sort rust inhibitor in it as well also left over from the drainpipes.

My better half is also loving the tidy garage

Hammerrite and Smoothrite are not "cheap" and are good paints the rust inhibitor undercoat is good too, they are designed to encapsulate the rust and stop it going further, they are also high build. if you still have some, put on another coat!!!

How is this for a tidy garage!!!! Thats the MGB under there, will send the MGF picture later its got more space in a much bigger garage

AND AND The MGF >>>>>>>>>>>> where do i start???

And another! what no wheels!!!! ~ that is the only thing i have a lot of, just bought a set of six spoke TF wheels from a 2004 car in Very good condition but rubbish tyres, two Pirelli P6000's and two Contenental contacts, worn out, new and unusued steel spare. ~~ Yes that is carpet on the floor . just got to find time to restart the project

Here is another one, wot no wheels, i do have three sets though. yes that is carpet on the floor and a teak bench seat for resting! just got to find time to restart the project

Oh, to have a garage with light, power and carpet.
My garages are either a 2 minute walk or a 5 minute drive, the nearer one is stuffed full of car parts, 2 trailers, 2 engines, elventeen wheels for cars I never owned, the other is starting to fill with parts, not to mention the shed, maybe I should add them to the list of things to do.

I'd like a garage wide enough that I didn't need exit through the car roof ,or where the roof would be.

I'd like a garage...........Period!

I know what you mean - perhaps we should start a group - call it 'The Al-frescos' or perhaps more accurately 'The Chilblains'
