it just means taking my hat off to your skills.

you go and enjoy it fella you've worked damn hard for it

 

Ahh not heard that one before

...and cheers I will do

 

Finished the steering wheel. Had to swap my stalks for jdm ones, (for horn connection and indicator canceller) with horn re-wired, and space them forward 5mm. The cowels are also from a jdm classic.

Looks and feels 1000% better.

 

Awesome work, hats off to you.

You need to do something about the faded dash though.

 

just read this from page one, good work mate

pat your self on the back!

black door handles breaks it up looks good

 

I don't know if anyone as asked you this (if they have sorry for the repeat question) but what spray gun are you using? my cheap old Sealy suction gun as just given up the ghost and I'm wandering what to replace it with, it's been OK but I'm thinking a better quality make such as Devilbiss or Sata may be worth while, so given the HQ finish you've achieved I'd be interested in whether it was obtained with a pro gun or a DIY type.
I realise prep is the key to a good finish but the gun does play a small part, and I need all the help I can get !!!

 

Its not faded, just the flash is reflecting on the dust . Would like it flocked though!

Cheers

Hey fella, its literally a cheap (£12 off eBay) silverline gravity fed gun. Its certainly not pro but seems to do the job well enough

 

Well done buddy read the thread start to finish ya deserve a gold medal pal well done.

 

awesome job chap, airbag looks like a right old faff and not a fan of switching to irish indicators lol but think your skills are awesome and the finished result is flawless

 

What an amazing read, welldone kidda

 

That is a genuinely awesome build thread. Having done a few bits and pieces of car diy myself i can fully respect what you have achieved, it is simply awesome. Well done bud!

 

I suppose it just goes to show what you can achieve with budget tools, and just how important the basic prep work is, you've done a great.

 

Ha, not been here in a little while!!

Small update, have finally got round to getting some later headlamps! I had a small issue that meant one had to be split to sort it, so I decided to paint the shroud black on them both whilst they were apart

Looks so much better and I can actually see where I'm going in the dark





I'm in the middle of two projects to go on the car, so hopefully some updates soon

 

looking good

you not fancy a v5 grille?? maybe black/grey/whichever colour you used on the fmic?

 

Cheers beef

Grille? Watch this space

 

looks allot more modern...black crystal sides next big boy

 

Big boy, who've you been talking too?

Black crystals are on my wish list......... its my birthday in March if anyones looking for an idea for what to buy me

Got some of these before xmas



so stripped them to bits




Only had two seized pistons so not too bad.

Just finished stripping and painting them. Got some SS pistons and seals from godspeed so will hopefully start popping them back together later

 

I've got a spare driver's side black crystal side light.

You'd just need to find someone that crashed the drivers side for a spare passenger one.

 

no mate just the heavy wear on the drivers seat

 

I'm sure I can find someone with a P/S one if you need relieving of it

I'm of slim build I'll have you know

 

that's a given if you were a fatty you'd never be able to reach the roof to paint it

 

Hats off to you mate, very nice work!

 

I hung from the rafters to paint the roof

Cheers

 

totally mind blowing rebuild chap just very jelious i cant do things like that

 

Cheers

Well after LOTS of cleaning and wire brushing, followed by a lick of paint, my four pots now look like this



Just need to build them back up, I have 8 brand new stainless pistons and a new seal kit courtesy of Ian at Godspeed



Discs, which came with kevlar pads, also from godspeed



Hoping to get the fronts on at the weekend

These came today, rear two pots and a spare set of front four pots (bargain price) which I'm going to refurb and put on wifeys car to save having it off the road! Rears will be finished as per my fronts.....

 

Mmmm, clean and back together



Stripped the rears down today. Clean and paint tomorrow.....

 

looking good

 

More blue then
