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

Whats happening with the Green R?

[James]

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

[James]

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]

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]

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

[James]

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

[Predator_R32p]

coming along nicely james

[James]

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

9:14, bit early for you isnt it james!

[James]

I shit the bed,

Off into town, got some things to do lol

[cammedvtr]

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]

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]

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]

Doing a good job matey!

Similar to my budget! non-exsistant!
