      @DIYWorkshop_UK หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi! I actually didn't, as my plastic strips were all broken. as long as you rust proof everything with underseal (because there will be uncovered holes where the strip clips) you should be fine. I am going to put sideskirts anyway, so i would need to remove them for that as well. Hope this helps

    First know if they are air screw or fuel. Often plugged so the carbs have to be removed. Ideally you are only looking to be able to choose any rpm and the motor will stay there for road manners. Often with lean at idle the motor will not hold 1500~2k rpm and always hunt and stutter. Over rich and jetting kits will make it worse with modern fuels or imports from california.

    Media blasting and citric acid bath. Those are the fastest and most effective. I've built elaborate electrolysis cages. Still end up baby sitting the project for days making sure every single angle has line of site. It is just a miserable experience that produces terrible results unless one micro manages it. Where as I can blast everything in real time, and have a coating applied same day. Really intricate components with lots of interior access challenges is solved with citric acid at 32.2C. Many times I can have those components coated same day as well.

    • @DIYWorkshop_UK
      @DIYWorkshop_UK 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I have to agree, it does require a lot of babysitting. I think i will eventually get a media blasting unit, but currently, have no space for it, so this was the best I could do.

      Time you enjoy spending is never time wasted, I am learning new skills while doing this and it is actually cheaper than buying a new shell, you are right in one point though, if I could have gotten a cheaper shell, I would have most likely done that, but here in the UK a body with no rust is way more expensive and hard to find

    I'm following you in the project. I am sorting out the garage prior starting doing the same job! Just a curiosity: I saw you left a bit of gap between the sill panel and the car body and you filled with a scrap piece of metal. I was under the impression that, when welding, 1mm gap was enough.

    • @DIYWorkshop_UK
      @DIYWorkshop_UK ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi, you are right, my problem was when cutting, the body lines made it very difficult to align to get a more precise cut. This was mainly because I was putting the new sill over the old one when measuring. I ended up cutting a bit more solely by sheer dumbness 😅. hence the filler strip. Good luck with your project 👍
