lacquered the mesh today but can't find the rubber u channel I have to finish the bumper cut out...scuppered for now so I may have to buy some more. thanks to Lee for the cable ties all i need to do is sort the u channel and I can refit the wing and bumper

got a very nice parcel from Mr Carl Davey; top feed conversion kit and fuel rails, its such a well engineered package highly recommended. the forged elbow fittings are spot on...just need some injectors now.





I'll be dropping the Advans off to be repaired and painted this week too, looking forward to seeing how bad they come out

 

mmm tasty..... Hope its gonna go as well as it looks

 

me too, me too

 

ordered some replacement u trim so the other stuff id bound to turn up now...hey ho. Stage 1 of my filling the headlamp washers has gone OK; I trimmed my butchered bumper and stuck a section under the small infill. Once I've filled and preped them it will be interesting to see how i get on painting a small section....




Also ordered a pump bracket for my external 044, looks to be good value for the money...thanks Arch A couple of bits coming from Marks WR1 are providing the last bits for the oil cooler and injector set up too...time to give my wallet a rest I think

 

Nice bling items,these fuel rails looking nuts



Jura

 

Honestly, way better in the flesh Jura

 

A good day today...car got to see the light of day


and thanks to Millzy sorted the fog lamp induction trumpets...glued and fibred glassed in place


and then filled, smoothed and primered...more work on the washer jet holes but I've got to accept I need to get the whole bumper sprayed now so I'll have a crack at preping the bonnet for paint over the long weekend too. Glued the u channel on and as expected found the pack I lost I think its looking good so far massive thanks to Chris for giving up his day

 

Might b able to come up tmrw as ive not heard from zac so can do the bumper;-)

 

Looking good mate
Carl's stuff is amazingly well engineered and finished, he is a perfectionist and his stuff is top quality and he is also a genuinely cracking guy.
I have his original alternator relocation kit and it is first rate but the newer one is even better. Might well be speaking to him about some fuel rails

 

well you know I forked up my ST's insurance renewal so I won't be going anywhere too far

 

Cheers Arch, 100% agree on Carl; if only he made up some ******.com stickers...I'd run them

 

Stickers over the holes would have sufficed

Good thread.

TX.

 

Looking gooooood

Bumpers look so much better without the washer jets (not to mention some minimal weight saving removing the associated gubbins!)

 

Cheers john, done the sticker thing though...was way easier

Cheers Trev, my first go at body work so a steep learning curve...

Finally got round to drilling those two fittings out to remove the broken wing mirror...leaving it off for now just in case


Now I'm a fiberglass expert it was pretty east to finish off the bonnet reinforcement\clean up ready for some paint tomorrow


Filler primered, flated and painted finally...look OK, will check them in the daylight though...



most if my time was spent on the vent today; following advice from Chris I brought some glassfiber filler an made good the gaps by using a masking tape mould...yeah inevitably I cocked up the cut again, fit is poor though.



much rubbing down later I ended up with this...I've filled it ready for tomorrow too; more sanding after Sunday lunch

 

Looking good buddy, dont u just love sanding and filling and sanding and filling lol

 

No ****...its like Groundhog Day

 

You wanna try doing a whole car

Can't believe you cut the hole wrong....... again Looking good nevertheless

 

you got feet like a womans

 

I know Trev, what a donut...still all its costing me is more prep time

skinny ankles FTW

 

Nice progress fella

 

More pics tonight too...missed your call earlier, give me a bell when you are free mate text may have been a bit confusing

 

As promised lots of new pics...first off bonnet underside now painted, looks a lot more finished than before


Interior fiddle; blanking plate for air con switch and swapping the now redundant headlamp washer switch for modded headlight position switch which I intend to select my three different maps with



washer jut holes almost gone...



vent almost done, just need a bit more high build filler and some more rubbing down.



As it stands at present, looked better with the splitter but it kept bloody falling off so you will just have to imagine how it looks



800cc PE injectors and oil cooler hose arrived from Big Fud this morning, cheers Mark

 

Good work

 

Cheers Frayz...progress feels gooooood

 

Looking good

Jura

 

more rubbing down required then I'll agree

 

Mine's debarred! makes a great difference in looks! this is a great project btw

 

weight saving, lowers the centre of gravity, lowers drag...its a win, win, win

cheers Nelly, getting there slowly

 

oh and for every-ones entertainment...ordered my hose from demon tweaks - Dave Featherstone, top bloke and 15% discount for SN users - arrived the next day. I ordered the wrong size...

 

lol wrong size
coming along nicely
