Nah, shes keeping her spoiler and scoop mate... just want her to look like a stock prodrive edition from the outside... well, within reason

 

you'll have to post up some pics of her naked

 

fookin quality work mate, lovin it, i didnt read all the posts just scanned the 1st n last few pages, i say it looks the **** wivout decals n sounds lovly 10/10

 

Cheers Sparky.

Yes Matt, ive alot of work to do on the paintwork yet but i'll get some progress pics up as and when.

 

did you ever get that metal sealant?

 

cmon Frayz where's the engine **** piccies?

 

Engine is the last thing i need to worry about mate. Its all the turbo pipework fabrication thats on my mind.

Engine build is my busmans holiday remember

 

nice to see your working on it again...

 

Spent another 3 hours on it this morning. Few more hours i think and it will be fully de-vinyled and needing alot of TLC. lol

 

got a bit of ghosting going on?

 

Great news Frayz, good to see your making a start buddy

 

Lots at the moment Matt. But having said that i havent even cleaned the polish/wax outlines off yet. Im gonna wait till i have the whole thing bare and then hit it with some Poorboys Bugsqush to rid any glue residue. Once i have it back to bare paint i'll hit it with the clay and then she'll want some rotary love

 

Good lad... as above mate, if you need a hand with anything just yell !!

 

got to put a pic up of it with all the ghosting. can look pretty with just the outlines of everything.

if you get any really stubborn sticky bits shout as i've got a spare drop of tardis.

 

Cheers guys,

Will be selling my carbon fibre fuel door if anyones interested. Retail from teh states at about £75 plus delivery. Id like £50 for mine

 

you're going to make the car heavier

 

Glad to see you're back 'on it' Frayz, what about some nice dark wheels (or refurb your's they are one of my fave's).

Keeping it subtle will suprise a lot of people who think its standard then

 

Wont be too subtle... will be very "me" though

 

like suprises me, good luck with it mate will be watching your're thread with interest along with the rest of scoobynet

Back to it, that's the way Frays

 

Good to hear your back at it again mate.

Looking forward to a picture update.

 

ok, now lets see some progress pics! I just post more pics here so you need to get on it!

 

Well i guess i owe you all a small update on the car.

Work has started on the car and im doing bits here and there when i get time. I spent 3 days with a heat gun carefully removing all the vinyls from the car and now have the painstanking task of glue removing and polishing every panel inch by inch.

Getting the car back to the way i want it will be a slow process but at least im on it now...

But heres a quick peek to show you that she is still very much alive and a shape of things to come.

Watch this space...

Frayz

 

good staff mate good luck with the project

 

Good to see you have got the passion for it again !
It came up well after the wash, nice and shiny. So shiny I can see the reflection of the TWO buckets you used to wash it, good man !! Always good to see someone doing it properly, I guess we should'nt be suprised as everything else you do seems to be top notch !

 

Cheers JB, but dont be fooled by the pic mate.

There is still a huge amount of work to get the paint back to what it was and the removal of the ghosting left by 2 year old graphics.

 

looks nice and clean, looking forward to seeing you moving it forward again...seems like forever ago you took me out after you fitted the FP Green

 

looks weird without the vinyl, always remembered your car as the mocom car lol

wiley

 

Small update,

100% of the car is now fully devinyled and 90% deglued... i'll continue on this when i get a moment.

As for today i decided to drop the 2ltr long block back in and start mocking up the up-pipe/downpipe arrangement and finding out where the turbo will sit best.

The motor is sat on her mounts and bolted up to the bellhousing. The manifolds are on and i have a dummy up-pipe in place with the turbo loosely bolted up.

I have lots of fab work to do but at least she has a motor in here and the turbo system is under construction.

Heres a sneeky peek of todays work

 

Good work

manifold looks unscathed
