Spent half of the day, trying to put more silicone into intake system (samco 3b intake hose, smashed BOV was replaced).
After hour of unsuccessful trying - only this single piece was fitted, and old intake was put back. FAIL.
Tuesday:
Did test assembly to the strut:
There was some nasty dirt and rust in the strut housing, was cleaned with this very sophisticated device (it was very funny when it get stuck inside strut housing - :D)
Found in progress, that many necessary parts are missing. Spent some time hassling around the stores and gathering parts. Meanwhile sandblasting guy cleaned some rust. What a nice natural metal look:
Wednesday:It was planed to be painting day. Nature was prepared, after I came to garage - it started to rain (first time in three weeks). Temperature dropped from +20 to +14. All the paint needs to cure is temperature above +15. FAIL again.
However I am used to, so painted struts with POR15 rust preventive paint, and wishbones with Brunox epoxy primer (that's why they look not so nice).
Instead of 2 hours, paint will cure for few days, and finally will become hard only after few months. BTDT - it was exactly the same scenario last year (roll cage painting). Oh well. At least now I know, that it WILL cure :). No bearing job tomorrow, no coilovers at trackday and slalom in weekend. Just another big FAIL. I need somehow not to get used to it.
