Does look good, hoping to pick up a spare dash and door cards soon and take them down to flockit in St Helens

how much was it all in if you dont mind me asking? I have no idea how much flocking costs

think your looking at around a ton for the dash snd not much less for the cards, also depends where you go and what colour etc.....

Looking well! Not a fan of them interiors usually but this looks ace!

Cheers dude.

Does look good, definatly need to get it done, hopefully soon.

Digging the project dude.. keep it up!

Thanks dude.

So i haven't done anything to the car in ages, I've just been using it to get around. I kind of got bored with it over the winter consequently the bodyworks starting to look tatty, rust has started to settle in the usual places as i didnt clean it for like 4 months during the winter

Anyway I'm starting to get back into it again, i haven't actually done anything yet but hoping to get the bodywork sorted soon and i have a few plans also

I did pick this bumper up yesterday from Tez, today i started to sand it down ready for primer then paint the bumpers actually originally green but got sprayed yellow then satin black so I'm sanding through the layers. Got to say sanding is tedious especially doing it by hand

Yellow paint everywhere

Hosed down

Got it all rubbed down now, just got to fill a small hole and go over it again in a finer grade And it'll be ready for primer. Hopefully it'll be ready for paint by tomorrow night.

hahaha difficult to get on with the car after such a long lay off lol =D

get it sorted mate, love your car on those wheels!!

It is but I'm getting the bug back now lol, cheers dude.

Well bit of an update, exhaust arrived today courtesy of Phil Jackson.

Slightly larger bore

Rear bumper is going off tomorrow for paint, also picked up another front bumper as I have plans for it, bit of smoothing and custom styling is on the cards, will upload pics at a later date.

Looking good glad your back on with it!

Yea same here dude, cheers.

whats the diffrence in bore size top the origional coz that looks massive

Not too sure what the original is but that's a 3''

A normal 16v system is 50mm so that's just over 2''

Well after about another 3 months of 'I can't be bothered with this anymore' I've decided to do stuff again, I've fitted the rear bumper due to being moaned at with it being in the garden and DO plan on fitting the exhaust when I can be arsed due to being moaned at with it being in the shed, also got some 6n2 roof rails that need painting and putting on, yes you guessed it because I was getting moaned at With those also being in the shed

In the mean time I've decided to start on the front bumper after being moaned at again with it being in the garden how do you think this would look? the bottom vents will be smoothed in and the other top grill will also be finished obviously

Cheers

Well made a start on the bumper today plastic welded the top hole and the bottom intake, fiberglassed it and finally a layer of filler went on. Going to sand it down tomorrow maybe.

Edited 15 July, 201115 yr by H@wK£R

Initial rub down, going to get another light skim ontop to fill light imperfections then a final rub down, and finish the other side. Ill update from now on when it's finished.

Are you fitting fogs?

Looks good though dude :)

Cheers dude, no they're intake grills so I don't think fogs will fit unless they just happen to be the same size as the hole If they are I might try it. Thanks.

I know that I said I wouldn't update till I finished but whatever I've just added the final skim of filler and rubbed it down and finished it using wet and dry now it's finished. I tried to use as less filler as possible and I think I did a pretty good job tbh, quite pleased :-D

what wheels r they the look amazing

what wheels r they the look amazing

They're called Borbet T's and have been painted in bronze. Cheers

On a down note, MOT next week should pass though.

So I've been going through the 'cant be arsed phase' again recently.

But went to pick up some wheels today, they're a german made brand called AFT, dare I say it rare.

I have plans for them so they won't be staying like this hopefully.
