As some of you may have guessed I've been doing my car up for quite some time now and thought its about time I put some pictures up! They might be a bit big as I've just started using a new PC and haven't got any phot editing equipment... Let me know what you think, and somebody please feel free to make the pics smaller :D

love the front bumper bud ....very nice looking Zed ..... :D ;)

 

 

...

Cheers woozer. I'm altering it a little before it goes for the respray next week, I've put a front lip on it. Also as its a wide arch I decided not to go down the conventional route of buying a petrol flap and fabricated one myself out of fibreglass. Also flushed most things off.. Including the door handles, side repeaters, front nose panel, rear wiper, front windscreen wasers, ariel etc....

cooool! question. are you painting it yourself?

Impressive work there but why have you smoothed everything off and then put a lip on the spoiler, seems to contradict your whole scheme?

Very nice.....what colour ?

Thats a (zcentre) Tailgate skin, I think its a smoother look than just despoilered with perspex strip. Suits the design.

Hi mate, thats the only thing I didn't really like about the front bumper, just looked unfinished....my brother used to have the same...not really my cup of tea

I ain't painting it myself it's going into a bodyshop on Monday.

ahhh...you meant front bumper lip

Believe it or not i'm still undecided. I was thinking Candy blue but now i'm in double minds again between blue and gunmetal grey. I want to go for a slick and sophisticated look! Lol.

That's coming along really nice mate. What front bumper is that? Looks like the Viper one from zcentre but the mouth doesn't look that big. Or is it just me :confused:

i have seen something like that (number 2 pic) and it looked very nice all painted up ...

 

was thinking of doing the same kind of thing to my 99 spec ..but i am in love with the front bumper from the Twin's from Peru.....

 

..this one ...

It is the viper front and the mouth is alot smaller then what it used to be like...

 

I should have some more pics up by the weekend. Shouldve taken alot more since I starting the project, it don't seem it but alot of work has gone into it to make it the way I want it. Even took the engine out myself to change the turbos :D but thats enough showing off for this Valentines evening.

looks nice and how i want mine tbh

How much is the respray setting you back if you dont mind me asking ?

I got a friend who will do it for £800 for a full colour change etc..., including acrylic primer, laquer, taking out the rear glass and other little bits and bobs. I have to take out all the trim and pay for the paints but i've seen his work and its brill and he's giving me a a good discount compared to his normal prices.

Including taking out the engine, doors/tailgate/bonnet off? Christ. You've got a very good friend. ;)

 

Candy blue IMHO. :)

Ideally i would have the TwinZ bumper, but the Viper bumper has always been in the back of my mind as a replacement but always thought there is something not quite right about it, maybe the openings are to large, will be interesting to see the finished result once your car is painted, rest of the car is taking shape nicely though

You've got orbs matey ;) (ghosty things for those not in the know) hehe

 

Nice work so far bud, can't wait to see the finished car :D

Hey fella

 

he's not respraying the engine bay, so he will not be taking out the engine... He is doing everything else.....

Here a few more of the car before it went off to the bodyshop last Monday.

Here are the last of them.... Had made the mouth a little smaller from the original (last minute decision) as shown in the picture.

 

Once i get the car back these are the remaining mods i'd like to do-

 

Drop the car by 60mm odd, especially from the back.

 

Change those wheels so they will be up for sale pretty soon.

 

Refine the engine

 

and finally customize the interior.

Hey guys, sadly i've been unable to update the progress on the car due to my mate (painter) not having the time to get my car up to scratch.... however he has assured me that it will be painted within the next few weeks. So fingers crossed, i'll update the page as soon as I have any development.

 

Cheers

I'll look forward to seeing it matey :D

Okay guys heres an updated picture of the car that I took earlier on today....

In theory the car should've been out this friday but he wants to keep it in his bodyshop for another week.

 

Let me know what you guys think of the initial colour

 

Cheers peeps
