Colour Blind

Monday, October 27th, 2008

So, after much progress last week and the promise of continued progress, this weekend was a bit of a disaster!

I arrived home to a large box from the powder coaters. ‘Great’ I thought, ‘I can finish off the engine’. However when I opened it up to have a look, something was not quite right. Then it struck me, they had painted them black!!! I was not all that happy to say the least, not only was i expecting them to be orange, but when I sent them to the painters they were already black! They have now agreed to repaint them, but this is going to take another 2 weeks!

I then decided to put the engine into the cradle anyway, and to put that into the car. The diff was then bolted onto the frame, and one of the two tension bars was turned up.
