Progressing nicely matey.

She will be pretty violent with the 0.63 housing ...... yeeeeeha

 

That's why I haven't been on here taking the p155 out of you mate

Been too busy on the car. Saving it all up anyway

 

Now now Daz, its not big and its not clever to make fun of people

 

I thought you were an Ex-marine??

 

I had assumed that

 

Daz has had his fair share from me Steve

 

I just pressumed Daz was the Bigger man by not saying anything

 

When he gets some free time I am sure the temptation will be too much to resist

All good fun.

 

Thanks to that geordie mad apple drinking plastered I mean plasterer my project as been lumbered with the name of project Gobshoite LOL

The name has stuck and now there's no escaping it LOL.

Bastids

 

Nah mate, I'm an ex husband!!

 

Damn I feel so guilty

 

First coat of stone chip paint. Massive improvement already.

 

Full back breaking day on it today. Apart from the rear anti roll bar and brake lines (which will be taken off tomorrow) the underneath of the car is now completely bare.

Tomorrow, I'll prep the wheel arch areas with a drill and wire bit attachment, etch prime and then apply the the final coat of stonechip paint.

By the end of play tomorrow I hope to have the whole of the outside floor pan in final 2k topcoat.

Here's a few pictures of todays progress.

 

ahwa qonswefull.. lovw this paint and vynils.. heh..

 

magic mushrooms , lsd , tablets with no names

 

Jeez Daz - you don't **** about do ya

 

Daz> did you have to do much prep on the underside, i.e. removing rust, old stonechip, before applying the new paint?

 

John because the car is a jap import there was no underseal whatsoever. Most of the underside was just primer. Considering the car has been over here for a good few years it was incredibly clean underneath. A few areas were caked up with mud but these were sorted with a stiff brush.

I would imagine that a UK car would be a different story entirely.

 

Yea, I'm looking at either doing the same as you or possibly re-shelling mine into a clean Type R. There are a few bits of corrosion on the exhaust hangers that I can see, but I suspect there is more lurking under there

Top work by the way

 

fair play mate, you dont f**k about do ya. most impressive, keep up the good work

 

hi mate where did you get your frount mount turbo kit from and how much are they also is there still enough room for your radiator cheers mate nice project

 

Looks really nice and clean. Definitely considering doing this bit by bit.

If you don't mind me asking, how much is all the powdercoating costs?

A lot better than the underneath of my MY00 UK Turbo. To be fair though it only seems to be surface rust...

 

Is that deox gel?

 

My new Bosch 1000cc injectors turned up today courtesy of Injector Dynamics in the states.
£330 delivered including customs charges.

Quite pleased with that.
