Yoof's Turbo

[lance]

lookin good, pleased to see you are keeping carpets and that i think a car just feels shit to be in without them!

vactan is really good stuff!

[dub-disaster]

Hmmm vactan maybe I shhould of used that when I did my seams, I tried krust from hammerite and to be honest thought it was crap!

[Yoof]

Few more progress pics:



Subframe stripped ready for crack testing:



Rear arches (making space):



Penetration from interior stich welding, requires all seam sealer to be cleaned and redone:



Fuel tank out to deal with more of the same:



Making space for bits:



Should be sealing and painting stuff this next week

Crikey what did you use to clean that up?
mine got about 2inches of gunk on it!

[giorgio]

Mark - Use fire/heatgun and is can be scraped off. Then wait (ages) for it to cool then rinse with p[etrol. Maybe a wire brush for good measures

[Yoof]

Mark- I used a good quality knot brush in a grinder, took a while but worth it. A clean with thinners afterwards, then POR-15 metal ready, then POR-15:







Alot of effort, but I doubt I'll have time in 5 years to be redoing it!

[mark_crox]

Wow that looks nice..

I'm stuck with mine in how much should I actually do. The factury gunk is still in good condition so it seems a bit weird to strip it off to replace it with somthing else. But it will make it look nice and new.. hummm..

Says I do not have sufficent privlages to view page and I'm a paid member, what do I have to have a funny handshake to have a look !

[Yoof]

It's been removed 

[cheys03]

God knows why it was pulled, it was a perfectly genuine topic.

[Yoof]

Apparently it went against their advertising terms & conditions, as I'm affiliated with Polo PP, I can't say that my car has a remap done by Polo-PP... suffice to say, without Polo-PP products my spec list looked rather bare!

[cheys03]

Bah. Rediculous.

[Yoof]

Yup- although there's better things in life to worry about. Such as undersealing the floorpan!

Primer over the vactan:





etc etc

Then seam sealer:





Tomorrow it's stone chip time!

[Yoof]

Just got to weld in my battery tray mounts, then I can finish off the floorpan:



The rear is almost done now, just waiting for the flat floor and diffuser to arrive before I can finish the underseal, current progress:
