i finally got round to taking the rear spoiler off my jap/zed today..

 

i had a bit of rust on one of the bolts in the corner so i thought fk it .. its comin off..

 

got hold of one corner and it started lifting quite easily.. then it got fkn ard!!

 

so i got a very thing wallpaper scraper,, ran some tape olong the edge where the spoiler meets the boot and pused it along to break the tape.. that didnt quite work..

 

so...

 

i got realy annoyed... i mean REALLY ANNOYED...

 

and ripped the thing off with one pull..... grrrrrr

 

and thats it off it came in one nice and neat.. tomorrow im cleaning off the tape and taking the plugs outta the holes. i cleaned the surfaces and they are fine, i also used a rotary wire brush on the end of my drill to clean all the rust away and i then cleared out some pin holes, the rust wasnt as bad as i expected. i then got my panel tools out and sorted out a bit where the yank of the spopiler had pulled a piece of metal forward, thats back flush again.

 

went to motorworld and got some loctite rust remedy and put that on, waited 15 mins for it to go black then put another coat on, that will do till the sun comes out and i can prime it. then its off to the body shop for filling and the new back panel and the lights and new coat of paint... :shock:

 

i have had it two weeks and its already bleeding me dry.. but hey.. i dont drink, smoke or do drugs.. no kids.. so what else am i gonna spend my cash on.... well there is woman but she aint getting any :slap:

But I've only just found this out after 2 years on the forum...... :rolleyes:

 

Richard :dance: :rofl:

yea that looks very nice there friday..

 

gonna show that to my body man see if he can do the came might save me buying the rear strip then, just have to install the diablos. and match it to that. hey friday you got a set of diablos on yours.. they easy to fit, no cutting etc to do to offer it in? i think the straight down look on the back is very nice.

yes you do have to cut away the centre mounting for the stock lights and also a little cutting on the outer edges for the lights to fit but other than that the only other mod is if you smooth the area over the boot lock you need to remove the boot lock other than that you just need to convert the wiring to the new lights i fitted mine in about 2 hours

I migged my wiper hole up and it was OK.

Just used a bodywasher.

being a thread that i started surely i can post in it as many times as i like??

 

also my last 2 posts were an hour apart. it isnt my fault that after trying to subscribe 4 times already it isnt happening.. nothings workin and no money is going out..

 

all im doing is asking questions, sorry if i dont think of everything at that time but if i dont ask i will never know. :rolleyes:

 

i would rather be stupid for 5 mins and ask someone, than never ask and be stupid for the rest of my life.. :tongue:
