haha got some new plans for the audio too dude love being able to get some big amps on trade 13,000rms here i come

[liam_b]

Been a busy week had problem after problem took two hours to get the drivers door off as the bold was seized on and then it rounded off. Tryed welding a nut on top ect but that snapped off so in the end my mate got peed off and went crazy with some grips and got it off then the person who sprayed my car last didnt seal the wing very well as it was covered in rust so had to replace that.

On a good note i have ordered my new amps and my adjustable regulator for my alternater too.

roof on its last skim

heres my paint didnt realise its a colour changer. In the dark its a dark purple and in the shade is a purple/blue and in the sun its an epic blue only problem because of the type of paint it in we have to paint the car in one go with the doors and boot ect all on


last pic of the saxo in red


time for primer

looking good gonna look epic once sprayed

Yellow primer for blue are you on crack? lol

Love the blue you chosen mate going to look mint but I would seriously consider a coat of black or colour match primer before the blue base coat. I'm guessing its got a xirallic pigment in it so is going to look amazing in direct sunlight.

[liam_b]

thanks nath

not much of an update as just doing a few little bits 1st to make sure its spot on when we paint it but i have filled the door frame with a fiberglass and resin should hopfully hold up to the door flex

[liam_b]

bonnets done ready for primer and doors are done too used around half a liter on each door be intresting on how they hold up tempted to weld some plates in while im at it so i can wing nut the doors shut while im testing but dont do if i can be botherd as im a little bit behind on where i should be

Awsome car liam. I need to ask you a question as im getting a boot and rear bumper resprayed. Any my issue is how do you get the wiring loom out and back into the tailgate? as its a differant boot going on also would you know how much it would cost for a new rear window put in or for that matter a window transfered from one boot to another?

Thanks

thanks mate to get the wire out all i did was just unplug it all then tie some some speaker wire to it then left the speaker wire in so i can then use that to put the wires back is but you could try push thru a bit of speaker wire or get a washer and magnet then use the magnet to pull the wire thruogh windows i wudnt have a clue as i dont pay to have my windows put in or out

[liam_b]
