Exhaust fitted like a glove

Some slightly better pics of all the welding

 

Looks like he did a great job

 

thats really gone clean up the front end...nice work

 

this is going to look schweet when finished

Bugs look so much better with those daft side markers smoothed over

Seriously thinking of trading up to a bug from my classic......

 

Great thread not sure I'd have the guts to cut my roof.

 

When does she go for paint Jon?

 

When I stop spending the respray money I don't have

Flocked centre console arrived back today so should fit that tomorrow, finish flushing the welding work Saturday and then hopefully through the MOT next week

Then start thinking about when I'll have all the money together for the paint job - reminds me, must get a quote

 

Same colour?

 

Yes, but with a twist

 

prodrive rules is a painter mate did me a quote a while back and was a decent price not had it done yet been put on the back burner now due to a new arrival lol so just waiting for cash to free up

 

Yes mate I know, I have agreed to him doing the work, we just haven't discussed the detail yet

 

cant wait to see it finnished mate you done some nice personal touches

 

Hopefully get a few more pics up over the weekend:

Flocked centre console and stereo surround to go with the dash, got it back today and it looks spot on - big up to Oh-Flock for that

And should finish filling and smoothing over the welds so some pics of that

 

Dont forget to take the WRX Imprza badge off the boot too?

 

Already done mate, get your *** around this weekend and check it out

 

Flocked dash is in, a couple of scratches in the flock as a result of the centre console being extremely tight between the Sparcos

Still looks good. Only other issue is my PSI3 seems to be playing up.

 

Got to love the flocking! One of the best mods i have done, just gives a clear look to the dash. Top job!

Looking forward to seeing the the paint with the twist Jon :0)

PM coming your way shortly!

Ricey

 

nice update mate...

 

Looks amazing mate, r u going to get the lower dash flocked?

 

No mate, that's all the flocking done - 3M carbon next

 

Your going mad on her Jon

 

Oh, and the PSI3 is fixed

Stripped it down and found the build quality wasn't brilliant. The soldering on the PCB was good enough, but the final clean wasn't up to my standards with plenty of flux left around the solder joints. Cleaned all that up, continuity checked the lead to the data port and the flex cable inside the box. Re-assembled and hey presto it now works again

 

we should really talk soon mate ££££

 

No worries mate,just give me a PM when your ready and decided to stop spending and modifying

 

A wee bit of fibre glass...

 

Some rough filling and smoothing

 

And finally, some flatting, smoothing and skim of chemical metal to finish it off

 

OMFG...so while the Mrs is out shopping you've been a busy boy, nice

 

Looking good

Do you find it gets a little boring all that filling/sanding/filling/sanding......... I did, the end result will be worth it though

 

I've learnt the art of skimming the filler on thin enough that it doesn't need much sanding, plus I use 60 grade for fibre glass, an orbital sander for the course cut back of the filler and then wet and dry to finish it off
