All red Damo no white bits showing!

thats quite a list Stu, well worth it car looks the nuts!

thanks Allan, my original choice was aston martin viper blue,but ive had quite a few blue cars. Hows the side skirts coming on?

hi guys and girls, started to get the door shuts, under bonnet, and under boot lid all painted. paint colour unveiled- yamaha r1 lava red- its a three stage system, looks the business in daylight. the body is going in today for the shuts to be done, hopefully get some more pics posted tomorrow. here are some pics of the shuts and we used the spare centre headlight panel as a test panel.

yeh, so have i lol.

just use a good quality 2 part primer but you can use a plastisiser in with the primer and paint would prevent cracking,( make sure pastic bumper is keyed up well, before priming). i hope this helps you out

thanks its slowly taking shape, i like both front panels but i want to keep it standard looking so i have opted for that panel. ill keep posted when the paint is near i promise

thanks gary im happy with the bumper too it fits really nice compared to some of the other bumpers we have used in the past. i think the exhaust looks good, came with the car plus its hks super dragger so its not a cheap exhaust system.

bumper has now arrived and the fitment was pretty good, needed a few minor tweeks to get perfect. might get some colour around the shuts next week, when i can get over the price of the paint (top secret). i have a standard front panel so the vented panel in the pictures will be replaced.

cor you dont miss much Mr Funky Si, just easier to flat down on rather than off,but its coming off for painting .Bumper arriving tomorrow so were offer it up to see if it fits.Rear bumper needs the treatment to rid it of all that stone chip stuff,rear spoiler is being prepared for primer,keep you posted guys.

well managed to get the rest of the car in the booth primed and guide coated. wait a few days to harden then we can flat down and hopefully get some paint around the shuts. [ATTACH]51568[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51569[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51570[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51571[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51572[/ATTACH]

thanks for the comments guys, keep you posted as work progreses.colours a secret for now.

well as im changing the colour, i dont want to see the old colour in the shuts when i open the doors and boot, so its the best way. no thanks i got a bumper, hopefully should be here wednesday.

thanks gary its getting there now, ill put put more threads on to keep everyone up to date on the cars progress.

more work has been done since the last thread, removed all doors,tailgate,bonnet ready to be primed, after we stripped them. had a couple of minor repairs to body, nothing to drastic. new front bumper on order :dance: [ATTACH]51542[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51544[/ATTACH]

no jaffa, no engine rebuilds at the moment but thanks for offer. Engine has HKS induction,turbo timer,apexi boost controller, engine seems to pull quite well..

yeah i agree. the looks have totally changed now i removed the sideskirts so there not going on again. thanks for the input si

yeah looks like its been painted at some point, not a very good job done.. wont look like that after we finished with it. the stock front panel i think looks better in my opinion too. trying to locate a different front, i like the 99 spec bumper.

hey everyone i thought i would keep you all updated with my progress so far, as you can see the front is now stripped and inner arches removed.. the headlights are removed and what a fiddle they are, but managed to do it. the front headlight panel is being replaced, managed to locate a stock one so the after-market panel i had fitted to the vehicle, is available for sale if anyone is interested- just pm me. door cards are being stripped today, so hopefully all goes well and the little clips all stay in one piece- fingers crossed. [ATTACH]51435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51436[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51437[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]51438[/ATTACH] this is the panel for sale if anyone is interested [ATTACH]51439[/ATTACH] thanks for looking and i keep updated. thanks bob
