Cossack

[stuwee]

After cleaning up all the affected area with a wire brush and sandpaper i treated all the area with rust eater and applied some undercoat.




After a struggle with the bumps top cap bolts i finally got them free and removed them so i can treat the area around the bump stops,3 coats of rust eater,seam sealer,2 coats of metal under coat and the two thick coats of top coat.


Time for the wax oil,treated fuel tank and wheel arch area and then refitted the fuel tank with repainted tank support bars....








A few days later i removed the beam from a s16 that i had bought for parts last year and started to prepare the beam to be fitted to the cossack.
The beam had been re bulit and lowered 30mm. Oh and also had skip brown solid beam mounts too 8-)



Removed the rear disc back plates cleaned up and painted.


After cleaning all the dirt and grime off the beam it was ready for refitting, i thought about repainting the beam but i though better of it.



After a bit of a struggle i got the beam on to the car by myself.Plumbed up the brakes,refitted the abs sensors and fitted new handbrake cables.

Braided hoses too.




Has taken a few late evenings to get to this stage so far and there will be a few more to come.

Got some phase 2/3 rear lights too.
