Liam-westcoast 6th February 2010 20:27

right today my dad took me up to newark on trent to pick up a few bits from pouch (cheers mate). i wish i bought some other parts while i was there lol.

but while i was there managed to pick up a wing and arch, colour coded door trim and colour coded arch all in good condition and a good price.

i am hoping to get them fitted tommorow and hope to get the car on all 4 wheels as well, so can't wait to see it all together again.

Toz 8th February 2010 15:56

Looking nice .good job on the spraying

Liam-westcoast 8th February 2010 16:38

cheers mate it should look alright when the wing and arch and that are on, yeah i sprayed the mirror caps and they turned out all right

Liam-westcoast 11th February 2010 19:44

bigish update!!!

my dad in the week fitted the wing, door trim and rear arch in the week, my dad has done so much on this car for me which is great, and have to admit the car is looking so much better now.

at the weekend we are getting a new strut so i should be on all 4 wheels, then next step is to give the engine bay a good clean and have it mot'd and taxed

cheers man yeah that wheel colour defiantly suits silver cars, my dad did this but on my westcoast it took me not long at all just undo the nuts/bolts and comes straight off. when my dad took them of the car i got the wing from it only took him aabout 5 mins.

also i still have that exhaust i bought it of you in my room lol

right my dad took the ecu off today and found there was 3 or 4 rust holes about the size of a 1p today which is not good news but in the morning my dad will be making a plate up for it and welding it on so should be sorted.

but i will possibly spraying the strut brace tommorow and was wondering what colour i should do it.

either

black

or

dark grey like the wheels

suggestions please??

Liam-westcoast 28th February 2010 17:24

picture of rust


Liam-westcoast 2nd March 2010 21:43

right got these pictures sent to me with the plate nearly done just needs tidying up, but looks pretty good so far and i am happy with it.





i hope to sort out some new driveshafts and struts as i have a mixture of each on this one lol, and need to sor out some primer for the strut brace.

i will laso check under the car to check if there is any more rust

cheers

fastroadkid69 5th March 2010 23:52

looks better with the plate welded in now, anymore updates liam?

Liam-westcoast 6th March 2010 11:19

hi mate, cheers yeah the plate looks really good in there needs to be tidied up a bit and sprayed with the ecu tray. erm only other updates is both struts are off and the coil pack, ecu and fuse covers are on and look great.

i am also in the process of spraying the strut brace satin black!

i also hope to pick up some struts and driveshafts today

cheers

raunchz 6th March 2010 11:32

Have you got wheel arch liners in ?

As most of the cars I see with bad rust on the wings have no wheel arch liners in.

Liam-westcoast 6th March 2010 11:45

when i bought this i don't think it did as it had quite a few things of or missing but i might have some in my garage and i will fit them.

cheers
