Painted!
Spent a few hours yesterday getting a coat of etch primer on the bare steel:
    I used Tractol 729 industrial etch primer in grey - It went on quite well by brush and dried very quickly despite the ~10 degree temperature. Have a few bits to touch up that I missed, but reasonably happy with it as a layer to stop the thing rusting.

Where in Kent are you eddy? I'm over in rochester and there is a really good local club called southern kitcar club (skcc). If you need a hand with anything let me know. My roadster has been on the road for a few years now so I have ironed out most of the floors

Few bits arrived from Phil during the week - He is sending bits through as they're ready:
 Got a coat of anti rust primer on the drums:  Followed by the first top coat:  Then I started looking at the manifold I need to make for the bike carbs:  Not sure if I should re-space the carbs or just go with tubes at an angle - Any opinions? The tubes in the pic are from some scrap I had lying around - They match the ID of the carb outlet perfectly, but are thin so there is a bit of a gap between the silicone tube. Will this be ok (or even helpful in getting the angles to work) or do I need some thicker tube? Cheers Last edited by Eddy : 14th July 2013 at 01:31 PM. Reason: Photo links changed
