i think white badges n chevrons would go well. but what do you think of white inserts in headlights rather than black(or the standard chrome)??? someone on here did them red and looked good, like a red n silver theme.
i am going for a black n green theme on my car, jus started spraying alloys,did a test on my spare n looks good so far. only a quick rub with 1200 before lacquer in morning then finishing with a 2000 to polish. going to do a wee progress thread on wheels when i start them next week

Hi not much been done for a while. Had to do a few jobs like new driveshaft and front discs and pads. Also it need's the front caliper's changing at some point as one is sticking and the bleed nipple as snapped off on the other. Good times hey

Plans in the next few weeks is to tidy the engine bay. I've started off by spaying a spare rocker cover black here are some pics

sanded it right back


primed


sprayed




Needs a new chevron sticker/badge


Will post up pics of engine before and after detail/ clean
I have aslo got a strut brace that I will be fitting once the engine detail is complete
Thanks for looking

very nice car mate keep it up

Looks a very clean example not keen on the show cage/fire extinguisher though. Looks out of place. Other than that it looks great

I'm still in two minds if I like the show cage or not
It's m.o.t time in a couple of weeks so if I need funds to get it passed it will be for sale.

[bobertmate]

[29solomon]

Same springs as mine looking very good

[harry289]

It looks like you know what you doing. You're doing a great job. Looks a lovely example keep it up

Love the work you done on the back box polishing and refurbing your rocker cover!

[Amp79_vtr]

Hi not posted any updates for a while as it's been to cold to do any lol. Well the last few months shes had two brand new driveshafts from j&r diveshafts and Oil and fliter change.
When the weather gets better I'm going to start on the engine bay. Plans are to tidy it up with a good clean. Also tidy around the ecu and fuse box with a light sanding /primer then a few coats of gloss black. Then use some detailer on the plastics etc.

Once the bay is nice and clean Ive got some goodies to fit to finish the bay off:
Red upper omp strut brace with new top strut nuts.
Gloss black rocker cover with new chevron sticker and new gasket.
Carbon enclosed induction Kit

Pics to be added as when progress starts lol...I'll be posting pics up of the bay before during and after thanks for looking
