i like how youve got the washers mate

[Winny]

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Done a little door cleaning today. Removed the door badges and painted the recess with evo stick, then sprayed it with sand to give a good surface for filler to bond to.


I also de-locked the car, fiberglassed behind the hole.


One picture of the whole car, although its a tad messy my thread needs a 'whole' picture!


I've filled all the recesses in each door but its too dark to take a picture!

[SaxoIOW]

I've done the grill earlier in the thread.

As for the interior I'm going to do a custom retrim.


Unsure about colour though, its still in planning until I finish the bodywork.

Your cars looking good, I just want to know about the washer jet relocation, did you use the standard saxo washer jets? And do they work as well as in the bonnet?

[S8TTG]

With a wooden mould for the fiberglass bit, and an accurately measured cut-out from the origonal bumper, its easy, just blending it in with filler takes a long time, but as does any filler work if you want a really good finish.

The washer jets work fine after I directed the jets with a pin into my window lol, I have some flat black Xsara ones from eBay now just waiting to put them on, trying to finish prep work for spraying.

I might remove the vertical slats from the bumper, want to keep some lines in the car.

[Winny]

Bump! Had the front bumper off today to make the lower 'grill' into a single bar, and remove all of the vertical slats, although after removing all of the supporting bits of plastic the middle bar was so wobbly, me and my Uncle just lopped it out. Widemouth!


Did a little work on the boot too, fitted a solenoid onto a plate and my Grandad made a mechanical way to get into the car, incase my central locking fails or the battery goes flat, the where-abouts of which will be a closely guarded secret lol!


Thats just about all of the body work done for me, car goes in for spraying in 5 days!

[saxomat]

good progress lookig forward to it all painted
