Painting the underbelly

While I had the Baja in the prone position I painted the underside of the boot-floor, heater channels and under-bonnet area - they'd already been spray-primed with cold galvanising paint!
A few liberally brushed on coatings of Zinc-rich and black MIO will cure like concrete and should take all the knocks I can throw at it.

If a job's worth doing it's worth overdoing I always say

Micaceous Iron Oxide paint pretty much rocks!

I thought it would be prudent to strip & prime the underside of the footwell area while access was good

This area will be sprayed with silver/grey MIO when the rest of the interior gets done, just a coat of cold-galv spray for now
Next time out it'll be on its feet again.

Nixie clock's finished

Nixie clock update

I tried several case options for the clock with varying degrees of suitability; managed to snag a couple of enclosures, polished them up but never thought they were truly worthy of the project.

I revisited the site I bought the clock from and noticed they now sell an aluminium case specifically designed for my clock.

This is the site, check it out - http://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/index.php

Here's the case, image from above website

Took the plunge and bought one, what a piece of work it is - a 3lb. CNC machined chunk of billet 6082 alloy highly polished to a mirror finish. £55 is expensive on the face of it but a no-brainer if you want the project to look professional and properly finished - which it does, and then some!

Sexy, no?

Looks cool in the dark

Awesomely geek-tastic
