So proud of the Ellie, passed MOT Saturday, first time he's been to a garage other than where we bought him.
Tester said 'It's mint, could eat my dinner off it, couldn't find a thing to mention, it was a pleasure' so we were over the moon with that.
Bad news is I am really poorly.

Good on ya mate .. I have just finished building one for my Elgrand owing to the fact we cant buy them here down under, wife seems happy but yet to try ... could end up sleeping in the tent yet ..
 
Today I loosened and realigned my exhaust system following the replacement of the centre box and fitted a new gasket.

I then began another attempt at making a fancy engine cover.

The one I have on at the moment has had a paint reaction and is bubbling so I am using paint from the same manufacturer this time.

Did you plastic prime it can get lots of reaction in the engine bay due to oils etc.

Yes, this time I am using adhesion promoter, plastics primer and high build filler primer on top of that. I think my last mistake was using some cellulose and some acrylic.

white?
 
Stempyuno said:
Not just any white, pearl white. But not only pearl white.

Oh wow, why hasn’t this been done before? White ones are faster and by an extension of that logic the more QX1 present, the faster they become, especially if the paint is nearer the engine! Can’t wait to see what you’ve done!
