Seriously nice job you've done on that ! You will need to give me some tips on spraying via pm? I'd love personally to buy a car in poor condition and have it all prepped and re painted myself, Cheers!

Future plans

I haven't updated this again due to lack of funds, basically all i am doing atm is running the car for daily use. I've done a few bits like rust sealed the rear. I've also fitted standard mirrors. I had a new refurb'd axle from IM which was lowered 70mm so now its sitting a tad lower at the rear. but i havent got any pics sorry guys.

My future plans are a bit crazy since i only resprayed the car last year, but basically toying with a matt finish with gloss black bump strips, vts alloys and other few bits in gloss black like spoiler etc to brake the matt color up. Undecided on what matt color i'm going for its either Matt white, Black OR Red oxide :O!!

Thanks for looking.

Well I purchased a VT front bumper and side door panels to work on a while back thought i'd post some pictures of how its coming along.

Basically wanted a wide mouth, de-fogged shaped splitter VT bumper and de-badged door panels to make my sexo 100% debadged lol.

First started by chopping the plastic ridge off around the fog hole, and then cutting some mesh to fit,

Then glued the mesh in place just to add a little strength and so it wouldn't move for when i applied fiberglass

I cut some fiberglass matting to shape

Then applied the fiberglass resin...

This is what it now looked like from the outside....

Lots of filler, only got 1 picture of this but it took lots of sanding then appling more filler etc to get it right!!!

This is the finished result, in primer.

This is the wide mouth 90% there, and markings drawn out to where i'm cutting the splitter.

And splitter cut to shape. I didn't have the luxary of a jigsaw just a regular hand saw was a nightmare! Still needs more sanding on the left side.

Another pic of the splitter cut.

Here's the door panel a quick before and after, its in red primer.

No progress pics just afterwards....

So thats where i'm at, need to get the wide mouth 100% and sand the splitter more then i can primer the whole thing and get ready for its matt paint job

. Thanks for looking.

Cheers. I've finished my course at the college mid june. I always used to park up in the sports centre car park not the big main car park

Started to do some work on a rear bumper i brought a while back (as the one on my sax has the exhaust recess cut).

It has quite a few deep scratches more work than i was expecting on it tbh but all is good

Front bumper is now ready for primer will upload pics when its ready for paint.

Oh right thats interesting, I live 10 mins away from Illogan and have just finished my 3rd year at camborne college lol. Where do you live now?

Andy_K · 17th July 2010, 10:13

I moved around a few student houses whilst I was there. Started in the old Beringer Halls in Camborne town centre (now an old folks home iirc), illogan, portreath and Beacon. I moved back up to Huddersfield when I finished, that was about 7 years ago now!!

Portreath is a lovely place, love the beach there. Oh right 7 years lol, thought I might have been more recent haha. I've only lived in cornwall for 5-6 years so I wasnt even here then.

Andy_K · 17th July 2010, 11:41

Yeah love Porthreath and Perthtowen beaches. Best one is Gwithian near Camborne though. Yeah, I cant really believe it was 7 years ago that I left - showing my age now lol
