Whites just so boring though. Common as muck now. I've not one ounce of doubt that whatever colour you do it Neil, you'll make an amazing job of it.

Just be nice to see something different?

 

Sorry for sounding boring, but I like the idea of keeping the Blob and going current (or even Pearlescent) White, and then maybe just adding your own personal touches at a later date with Viny, but then I would LOL

Ricey

 

bioforger is the photoshop king....

Oh and BLOB

 

Hawk, gun grey, lambo red wheels etc.

 

depends on what you need done??

 

Im no good at photoshop neil, but have collected these for you. Food for your thoughts mate?.

If youre going all out show stealer, VAG shaved bay etc...

Red hawkeye?



CG with candy rims?


White hawk on candy rims?


White blob on gold?


Blue on LMs?


CG hawk on LMs?



Silver blob on BBSs


Matte white on white HREs?


Met grey on cany pink?


Bronze on black hawk?


Red blob on gold?

 

They are all stunning. The yanks certainly know how to mod a car

 

Indeed they are all stunning, and thanks for collecting them all for me Frayz.

Made my decision so much harder now.

 

Anyhows, not really a lot to show for the last days work, but I thought I'd show it to keep up to date.

So, having got it into primer, I decided to weld a few more holes up, which neccesitated more filler and priming.






And a different colour primer for a change.

 

I'd love to have the patience to do that - it looks so much cleaner already

Keep up the great work

 

The subframe mounting bolt thingies also had a few holes that I wanted rid of, so more weldery pokery and grinding..







I think the engine bay is getting near how I want it.

 

Met grey on cany pink?


It would be this colour with red wheels in hawkeye for me!sorted!

 

For me, this wins hands down.

So much so that i myself have been looking at sets of BBS LMs wondering if they will clear my APs

 

Have to say, again your work in amazing Neil, do you want to do mine? lol

I've hand the hanking for battleship gray for my next colour once the kit is fitted.

Keep it up neil!

Ricey

 

Your a mad man Neil lol,you must have to much time on your hands
Again though it will look quite something when completed fella

 

Cheers Paul.

BTW, your special part is all parcelled up and I'll get it sent out on Monday.


Cheers Ryan.

This is just the start of it, much much more to come..

 

i think it needs to be as current as poss ie hawk wrc
c/w wrc arches and caged in white mate

 

Flush fit fuse box cover...

 

Very nice, I have spied abit of the sides cut away to attach a new slam panel ?

Ricey

 

Hi Neil,

That wee 'special' part arrived yesterday, massive thanks. Let me know what you want for it? or if I can help you out in anyway :0)

Thanks again
Ricey

 

such a good read mate awesome car to great work

 

Managed to make a few decisions, and spend a few hours on it.

Firstly, I've decided to stay blobeye for a number of reasons:

1. Cost,
2. I have all the parts,
3. the car is a blob, and I don't want it be anything it isn't.

So, next decision, radiator and intercooler set up.

I wanted something neat which would cut down the intercooler pipework in the engine bay as much as possible.
I was initially going to make some kind of V-mount set up, but went for an RS500 style jobbie, eBay to the rescue, £200 for both. Bargain..

After a bit of measuring, a but of cutting, welding and primer, I came up with this:


Modified lower cross member, and you can also see one of the mounting points for the I/C here:






Intercooler goes here:



Front panel is now a bolt on/ bolt off affair:




Still plenty of room for the rad:



I've also welded up any redundant holes in the top of the slam panel.

Started to mock various items in place, such as the oil cooler:



Bit of trimming and it should get a fair bit of fresh air through here:





Still got a few things to mock up, but hopefully work permitting, I should get it in paint some time soon.

 

I'm assuming you're going to block the top of the cooler off Neil? I can see the air going right over the top of that and not through the core where it needs to be going.

 

Yes Daz, I am going to be making a ducting box type thing which will mate upto the bumper ensuring what goes in there, goes through the cooler.

In fact, I may even be changing the way it is mounted, but the same will apply.

 

Looking good Neil

 

i'm just on with fitting an rs500 intercooler to mine.wasnt sure about the ebay jobbies though,so i got pro-alloy to make me one up.its a little bigger than the standered one and i'm hoping its going to fit in just nice.just need to sort a rad out then.should make for some very short pipework though once its all sorted.
