Aye suppose so, I'll make my judgement once I have seen them.

Whats happening with the Green R?

James 30th July 2008 22:02

At the moment it's out the back, dead in need of a new battery.

Hardly drive it anymore, infact I don't do much driving full stop.

Got it booked in my calender to get detailed in 2 weeks though after I get it back out of the bodyshop when bonnet and front bumper have been re-sprayed. Then hopefully someone will buy it :S

James 30th July 2008 22:10

Bit of paint;

1 coat of satin black laid down to give a nice base coat for the gloss black to go onto,



Couple of coats of gloss black,



It now has 2 more coats of Gloss Black on but it's a bit dark to get a photo in, came up pretty well after 4 coats. Just got to let the paint harden over night and in the afternoon tommorow I will add 3-4 coats of laquer wet sanding inbeetween coats.

Progress is looking awesome mate. It's certainly getting there. Gonna be a damn clean Mark 1 fo sho!

Cant believe you still have the green one, it first went up for sale ages ago. So suprised it aint gone tbh, it's an awesome car.

James 31st July 2008 15:24

Tar mate, aye it is getting there. At least progress has moved along slightley.

My problem is the other side, it's a fooking mess. Really not looking forward to tackling that to be honest lol, will get the ecu back in place today and the rocker cover back on. Then i'll hit the other side over the weekend I think, be good for a chuckle thats for sure.

Not sure yet, just want to make it as nice as possible with spending as little money as possible. :)

Is going to the ring though hopefully.

Karl 31st July 2008 23:02

For the fact it's gonna be worth nothing in the real world.
Might aswell keep it, looks a dead smart motor!

James 31st July 2008 23:06

Only paid a grand for it lol, arn't going to complain.

Predator_R32 1st August 2008 00:45

James 1st August 2008 09:14

Your right pred, it was the flux capacitor bit you mentioned that I snapped lol

Cheers man :) alex said it's to stop interferance in your car as well though, i.e your radio when you turn lights on etc. I know in my green one, with my smoothed ariel the radio goes dead when i put lights on lol

James 1st August 2008 09:39

I shit the bed,

Off into town, got some things to do :) lol

cammedvtr 3rd August 2008 21:04

Saw the car on Sat and James is doing a lovley job...I'll let him drive it for a week then I'll show him how to drive it lol....

All jokes aside keep up the good work man...

Trying to hard repair sinkage marks with black paint is hard work, it will be much easier with silver paint mate, but i'll leave it to you to suprise me

James 4th August 2008 00:13

Thanks, but im finding it hard to motivate myself mate :(

I really do need to do that rocker cover propelly like I said to you but it's another tin of paint and another tin of laquer.

Still not decided what to do about that bar, silicone is a bit expensive for something were not going to see. :( meh

cammedvtr 4th August 2008 19:18

Just have a drive to B&Q next time your in Hull and see what they have, aslong as its rubber you can wash it down i guess...

Skorpion 4th August 2008 19:58
