Valve cover etc.
So after a few weeks of not working on my car at all, for various reasons, I've had the energy to do a little filler and paint work on my valve cover. Here, I've done a bit of fiberglass patching to mix a missing chunk of the plug wire cover, and ground out the TWIN CAM 20 and Toyota Emblem.
Same for the cam gear cover, the center was cracked, so it's ground down and fixed with some epoxy.
Here's a shot of the 16 Valve water pump backing. I've made the heater block off plate and painted the sucker purple..
Now with everything sanded down, I did a little bit of polyester filler to try and get everything decently flush
Then a silver base was sprayed out of a spray can...
Next top coated with this purple anodize paint that's from Duplicolor I think. I kinda dug the color so I went to town with it.
Same goes with the cam gear cover.
For the valve cover itself. Andy sandblasted the cover for me and I sprayed out this gray/silver paint on it. I think it actually looks pretty decent. Kinda ricer'ish but .... who cares?
and now some photos of Andy's pickup. He's finally had some motivation to work on it: The interior's been painted for the most part, well at least the interior panels that are metal.
Some shots of how the rear of the pickup's going to look. Running those stupid big dually tires he's had left over from his days of owning a dually.
Hopefully after beerfest this weekend in SFO, next week will be a week of body work before we wrap up the semester and the Cortina comes home for the summer for a new engine.
