I've been away pretty much since I dropped it off so it hasn't been too bad, if work hadn't been busy it would've been a lot worse

 

jon that motor is lookin hot mate, good to see some colour on it,
will have to ask him for a quote for mine

 

I would mate, he's not the cheapest you'll get but if you want a decent job yoiu won't get better value.

 

Final colour has been applied on the shell/doors and wings,the depth of colour/shine is quite simply astounding and pictures truly just don't do it justice[I've sent Jon a couple of sneak peak pics so you'll have to wait for though's].
You lot better get your sun shades on if you ever see it in person

 

Looking superb. Great job Ryan

 

Thanks Frazer,hope I get the chance to do the same to yours mate

 

We'll see mate, have a few ideas at the mo

 

Must admit, the quality I have seen in the pics is amazing, the depth of shine and the results based upon my colour brief are awesome. I'm currently in Bavaria throwing myself off mountains under a piece of cloth so no pics until I pick her up in a few weeks time all being well

Frayz - Ryan and the rest of the team at C&K Motors are truely talented so you won't go far wrong getting them to give yours a makeover

 

I must say the anticipation for this project seems to just keep growing and growing.

 

Wow. Gonna look awesome Jon
Ryan, your work looks flawless . I'll be in touch when my next project gets going.........

 

Great project!

 

Thanks Trev,It would a pleasure to work on something of yours as well mate
It really does look amazing in the flesh now that the final colour has been applied,once cut back and detailed for that bottled glass look it will hold its own at any show!!

 

I'll get my house move out the way then its new project time.....

I'm itching to see the finished product, can imagine how excited Jon must be feeling now......

 

LOL,it seems a lot of people want to see Jon's car completed and tbho I'm looking forward to getting it back together myself but the clutch is going in this week and then the rebuild starts and finally the detail.

It's not until all the panels and mouldings go back on that the jo really comes alive and you can see the whole picture.

Given what Jon comments are through email about the final look of the car I'd say he is not far of a sex wee LOL!

 

bloody work Firewall rules blocking photobucket cannie see any pics

 

A couple more teasers

 

Jon nice colour,really looking forward to see finished project,Ryan is really magician with paint.


Jura

 

Its got the standard 95H as an undercoat with some light blue candy on top to give it that dark to light blue effect,looks amazing when you walk around the car in the sunlight!!
BUT I was quite pleasantly surprised when in the dark and the fluorecent light hits it and you start to see shades of purple/metallic and light pearl blue on the angles

 

I have the raging bone for this paintjob, mine is just looking so.......stonechipped. 95H is now undoubtedly the best colour!

 

Would just like to say a big thanks to Jon for choosing C+K MOTORS for his paint job and allowing me to show everyone on scoobynet what I can do

Oh and I now have another scoobynet members car lined up for this years winter project,but i won't mention any names,that's for him to do if he chooses

 

Does that mean I can start claiming my 10% referral fees

When it's all back together and I get time a full photoshoot will show the car off in all it's glory (less the engine bay as I need to start saving again for all the bits I want)

 

Looks out of this world, you have really out done yourself Ryan

 

Nearly there now with the build up,just the wheels to do now and put a few more bits on and then the detail.

 

I have to say, the last set of pics are showing it really coming together - more to follow when I get a minute as I'm stuck up in a field in Scotland for another week or so

 

I now have in my possession some pics of the car nearly complete - a little more detailing required apparently but I think it already looks stunning

Should collect it at the end of the month all being well so watch this space for a full set of photos

 

Like!

 

Hurry up and put us out of our misery.

 

All in place to collect her a week on Saturday (work permitting) and handing over some well earned readies to Ryan...

So what's he done

• Full respray - custom lacquer but needs the light to show it off
• Glass out and all panels removed
• All the black trim cleaned/painted in gloss black
• Started the painting of a lot of the under-bonnet and suspension parts - more to follow as I remove them.
• Extra coats of lacquer on the boot spoiler/roof spoiler and fitted the roof spoiler
• Sorted out my work blending the skirts, bumper vents etc
• Tyres off wheel respray
• Fitted an Exedy pink clutch and lightened flywheel

That's just a summary and doesn't go to show the effort Ryan has put into th work. I'd love to tell you what it cost but I'd embarrass him and it would be unfair given the deal we've done, but workmanship is worth every penny and more.

For those going to the Jap vs Euro meet at the LMM, bring your camera (again work permitting)...

 

So what's next...

• Big brake kit - k-sports front/brembos rear all painted red
• Quieter exhaust for trackdays
• VF34/35 or TD05-18g
• Red hoses and black intercooler pipework
• Remove the aircon (every ounce counts - so go on a diet too)
• Painted lateral arms
• TGV delete and new inlet to be fitted
• BC Coilovers
• Finish flocking the dash/roof trim
• Re-trim the steering wheel
• Remap

And that should be it done

 

Not much left to do then

I see you decided to go with the k sports, what swayed you to them?
