Recent pics of the 540

[Jandre]

Some pics taken outside today. I realised the ones I put up last time was in the garage, and slightly crappy.

Found a foglight and towhook cover that will go on next week.

A freshly sprayed left doorsill. I must still do the right side.

See what I mean.

Looking good there Jandre.

And again, I dig your steering wheel.

Describe the process you used to repair the door sills, it looks awesome...

She is coming along nicely

No real process there LZ, just a good clean, de-greaser, scuff pad, clean, mask and then some matt black straight out of the can. Cheap fix, I admit, and not at all professional, but it is good.... for now.

I do still have a nasty oil leak coming from somewhere, and I think the guys at Triangle transmissions stuffed up slightly. I have a small puddle of transmission fluid on my garage floor.

For the rest, it is all good. The sound from that V8 is lovely.

A common source of leakage is from the selector lever linkage, have that sorted soon.

Well I like the results, I think i shall do mine as well.

I have my E65 and E34 at home, so I shall take some pics tomorrow, been wanting to do the two together for a while.
