Junior and senior students worked together, separating the cylinder head from the 2.0 litre four cylinder Mitsubishi engine so that each piece could be reconditioned, painted and reassembled.
To try to curb the annoying issue of crushed adjuster bolts on the lambo doors, we decided to purchase grade 10 bolts to help minimize crushing of the adjustment parts. We don't want the cool vertical doors to fall out of alignment every time the door is operated too quickly.
While the front fenders were off again, another Car Club member lightly sanded some rusty spots inside the fender, then applied a cost of rust paint to help extend their lives.
At the other end of the car, one of the grade nines continue to rework some dents to even out the body contours.
We also had an opportunity to shampoo and degrease the transaxle, making it cleaner for it's later reassembly into the car.
The Eclipse now sits with a more familiar facade, given more panels are being installed. We hope by next week, the majority of Car Club will be focussed on sanding and smoothing the Eclipse's body. Soon enough, the BR Spirit Car will be looking for a fresh coat of paint before its powertrain is dropped back under it's hood!
Slow and steady wins the race.. We will catch you next week with more hard work on Project Eclipse!
