Another job ticked off the list, stripped the front cross member and repainted it.
Next jon is to scuff down the underside, apply seam sealer and then stone guard.

Re: LS1EK
Underside all rubbed back and have now started applying the seam sealer.
Not far from getting the stone guard applied.

Re: LS1EK
Great work Taz,
Its fun getting the paint on, almost feels like you are finished !!!
Still a hurdle getting it back together, but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer.

So many cars so little time!
Re: LS1EK
So keen to start the assembly, the car has been fully rebuilt and put together several times. I have parts sitting on shelves ready to be bolted to the car.EK283 wrote: Mon Jun 22, 2026 7:50 am Great work Taz,

Re: LS1EK
I reckon this is the most exciting fun part. The fear of damaging the finish in assembly being the downside. Great stuff Simon. Thanks for sharing.

Re: LS1EK
Fear of scratching paint is why I am only just painting the front end and rear end now. I intend to bolt these components, plus the brake lines, file line and fuel tank onto the car whilst on the rotisserie.Errol62 wrote: Mon Jun 22, 2026 9:59 am I reckon this is the most exciting fun part.
