Quick update with how I've just about decided to paint "TYZee" or "TYeeZ. I found a company in Södertälje who will powder coat all the panels, the only problem is I have to get the panels off! This will require drilling out all the rivets which will mean the bodies will be left in the chassis but I can fix that by spraying in rust shield which I have been told is slightly sticky so should stop the old rivets from rattling around as well as rust protecting!
The black looks great. If I can get the wings and nose cone painted in the same colour it should look brilliant and less like a kit car!
Even though the temperature is going down it’s still okay to drive while there is sunlight, which means I can’t drive it to work as it’s dark by about 4pm. After dark it gets a bit nippy but it can’t be any worse than driving a snow scooter. Winter tyres are compulsory from the 1st of December so I have another few weeks of opportunities.
Like everest - Wind chill is a bit extreme at 90mph!
Thanks Mikael! - Not sure about the colour, perhaps I can get a new one from photoshop!
Nice picture Mikael
After months of design and development I finally finished the soft top. I could have done with this on several occassions but it wasn't fully tested.
A little disappointing to see rust appearing on the discs. Will have to treat them with anti-rust paint. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the car has faired ones I get it up on blocks!
Anette was pleased that I changed her car to winter tyres and was even slightly impressed that I could do it in the new garage. So was I actually but then again the Peugeot has a better turning circle so there wasn't a problem reversing it in.
