I've finally gotten around to creating a album of photos showing my LC respray, which is actually going to be ending up as a total restoration, maybe called a trickle restoration. this is the link |

Good stuff, Charly.
May I pinch a couple of those for the "Rust" thread - the front cross member is definitely interesting.
Chris.

Impressive! What temperature do you maintain your garage /workshop for spraying? regards David |

We actually rented a spray booth for the painting, it was pretty nice. We could maintain about 68 degrees while painting and then cranked it up for curing, about 100+ degrees. We've only painted a few parts in my shop, and we just crank up the heat and warm it up and then shut it down and we get somewhere around 70 degrees.  |

Thanks for posting all the photos. It's looking really good. May I ask why you have left what appears to be a core plug out; aren't they easier to fit with the engine out of the car? regards David Putting the engine back together link |

The reason the freeze plug is missing is there was a block heater in that position and when I painted the motor I removed it and I've got a plug somewhere but I can't seem to locate it right now. I think the heater still works if someone is interested in it. I didn't take the motor out to do all this work either. Engine bay |

Looking very good! Lovely HT leads and Champion plug caps! A nice period touch.
Paintwork on both the car and engine looks very good!
We have the block heaters in Norway, too.
Keep up the good work!

Now I know where the block heater is installed, not that I need it here.  We have the block heaters in Norway, too. Keep up the good work! Tommy |
