Hi guys,

 

this car is keeping me very busy.

 

bought a dinitrol package from eBay the one for Subaru.

 

Came with

 

4cans of stone chip

3cans of cavity wax

can of rust stuff

and can of clear wax.

 

And a schutz gun

 

have everything from under car stripped off subframe, fuel tank the lot so thought I'd spray it all lol,

it's in my hair and everywhere so it had better be bloody worth it lol.

 

sprayed rear arches, back end of car fuel tank, tunnel either side of tunnel and have one can left of stonechip hoping it will do front arches and any little bits left or may have to buy one more can.

 

It's over paintable, but I have the grey and it looks really good, don't think u have to paint it wondering whether leave it grey,

 

do u think it will look bad in few weeks when it gets dirty.

 

Aligned my doors ended up cutting the spot welds from the hinges, getting the doors right and re welding them,

 

put my new 99spec bumper on not painted it yet, trying to get everything perfect fit before painting the whole car.

 

Took rear light panel out, bought set of 99spec replicas and broke one lol,

so buying a new set of original 99specs.

 

Got a 99spec rear spoiler, it's fitted to the boot waiting for paint.

 

Gonna get a set of type s side skirts,

 

Welding areiel hole get rid of it, no rear wiper aswell.

 

Still gotta take engine out to paint engine bay, reshelled my uk car couple yrs back painted the shell everywhere was like a new car and then master cylinder leaked and took all my new paint off.

 

Why engine is out gonna rebuild it and get new ball bearing tubs.

 

Painting suspension parts, brackets etc,

 

got m6 stainless bolts for wings and anywhere else they fit courtesy of work lol.

 

Thought I'd go on about what I have been doing on here misses is getting very bored with z storys.

 

Try get some pics up with camera tomorrow,

Wow thats some list :thumbup:

What did that pack set you back mate? Now that you've done it do you reckon that's the best way to go about it?

The pack I got was around £90 delivered from eBay,

just write stone chip in and they come up,

 

there's rattle can kits and schutz gun kits I got schutz kit,

got smallest compressor ever and it sprayed fine.

 

Most classic car clubs rate it, I have never done it before, so I'm no expert and suppose only time will tell.

To be honest though my seals and under my car have no rust it would put a lot of new cars to shame, so it must be quite good from factory cause it's an 1989 z I just trying to make stay clean a while longer.

 

Sprayed the whole car underneath and it looks great in grey so clean just don't know whether to paint over it in black I reckon if paint was like the top of car it would wash off easy.

 

It looks like it will last even sprayed fuel tank, tank straps, pipe from fuel filler, brake lines etc just masked up rubber pipe from fuel tank.

 

Warning though I think it will be ok, but there's storys of water getting trapped above some types of underseal, stone chips etc. Reading on the net was confusing me so I just went and done it and I see how it works out.

 

Yep this car is driving me nuts, it is a long list but I hope it's worth it.

 

Cheers for replys.

 

Didn't get chance of pics tonight daughters birthday party try again tomorrow.

Sounds good, it's on my list for one day.

 

What did you do underneath where the brake and hicas lines run through the plastic protector?

sounds like the perfect way of doing things. i wish I had more space to do it! Any pics of all the work thats going on?? nothing like a progress thread to keep the forum ticking over ;)

Sprayed it either side of plastic mostly and dusted it over plastic, check but sure it says it won't harm plastic or rubber, and all seems ok ain't melted or anything.

 

Will get some pics up tomorrow, then u guys can make your minds up if it's done ok.

 

I have no space, just jacked it up on stands wheels off, jet washed bottom while laying under it, a lot of crap came off I know cause it all ended up on me lol.

Left it few days so I know it's dry. Then sprayed away.

 

I took my tank and subframe off, exhaust etc but doubt it would hurt spraying subframe with it, it's like a rubber paint proberly protect that too save it chipping up.

I'd make sure I masked up brakes, shafts etc.

 

Cheers for all the replys atleast I have some people to talk about zeds with I bored everyone else to death lol.

You bored me dude! I'm not coming up anymore!! *YYAAAWWWNNN* lmao only joking, will come and be nosey soon, nice one ;)

hi guys few pics of dinitrol stone chip,

 

how the doors look after aligning the stupid things lol they were a bloody nightmare, i think they close better now flush and level. i know i have issues lol.

 

and my new 99spec bumper, its not painted just getting everything to fit right before taking everything apart to paint the car.

 

the pics may not be great they were taken on my new phone and the settings were wrong it makes it seem blurry if u move.

still learning how to use it, phone was in hdr or whatever u call it.

 

do u think it will be ok to leave stonechip this colour or would you spray the bottom black, let me know what use suggest im lost.

 

sorry pics have taken a while here goes (if they work)....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

couple pics of how it looked before i played with it....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

sorry for lots of pics lol

pics make it look terrible i get some more tomorrow, makes stonechip look weird it dont look like that in real life,

just took few more gonna see if they come out any better....

 

 

 

nope it must be some thing i am doing making them crap, its ment to have a good camera and on the phone screen there crystal clear.

 

or it could be my computer screen.

 

sorry for more pics

Looking good =)

You have done a lot of work mate and it will be worth it when finished:thumbup1:

Stonechip looks really good and looks like you have been mega thorough! Did you do all around and above where the tank sits and was it a big deal to get the tank off? Does this stuff just stick to the old underseal?

just undone bolts that hold the straps holding tank up and lowered tank on a jack sprayed above put tank back up removed jack.

 

i had subframe off, which made it easy to get in everywhere subframe only takes about an hr to remove on mine anyhow.

 

yep over what was there jet washed bottom off, then in arches got a rag soaked in thinners gave it a quick wipe round and sprayed the rust remedy primer stuff what came wit kit, then spray stonechip everywhere it everywhere. if it was rusty i would wire brush off has much has possible first then treat it.

 

still what do u reckon on painting it guys, or leave it grey.

Leave it grey, waste of time and money painting it imo

that is exactly how a zed should be treated ;)

Cheers for reply guys, I let use know if I paint it black.

Was hoping to do some more today but it poured down all day so sat on computer instead lol.

And taking pics.

lol thumbs up, if only you treated your missus the same way hahaha, I think she hates me coming over as she knows every other word is "Zed" well funny

She's just jealous I have something else better looking. In my life lol.

And I ment the z not u wink wink lol.

When ya coming over again I need to talk about....
