I must say the black looks awesome Ry

Are you having second thoughts yet?

 

Honestly I just can't seem to make my mind up,trouble is I just don't want to end up thinking 'I wish I had done it in a ***** colour'

At this point I still have any option open to me so all good but it's getting very close to crunch time!!

 

Looking sweet, I say join the gunmetal grey club

 

That one is on the cards amongst others Banny

 

"show me the shiny shiny"

Looking forward to the end result are we Alyn

 

Wow that black is shiny!

Ryan, is that a paint specifically for showing up imperfections or does it have other uses?

 

You must be nearly finished now then Ry, paint on, holes plated over - not much left to do

 

Yes just to help aid seeing the imperfections,trying to get it as good as possible

 

No where near Jon it's just in the primer stage only shiny primer for reasons above
Needs blocking and flating down for top coat

 

So into the booth the shell went today,dropped the front cross member off the front with shocks/lower arms/steering rack complete so the front end can be done as one.
The plan is to get the inner arches done in this run so I can then get the shell back out and drop the subframes round to the powder coaters for him to do,the 2 subframes and diff carrier+a few little brackets are the only parts to be powder coated,the rest will be painted.
Once they are done I can install them and leave them on to get the car back as a rolling shell which will make going into the booth for top coat alot easier!.
Just need to get the shocks off the back to allow access to the rear inner arches and I can do the final bit of scotching ready to apply primer and 2K black again for blocking and flatting.

 

Great work Ryan....keep it up.

 

fire it up!

 

Custom FMIC/RAD combo is nearly finished,very happy with how it's looking!

Looking very tasty Ry

 

Hmmm....... Looks ok I suppose

 

Cheers Jon,I almost had a sex wee when Ross posted the pic

No need to get jealous Rossy boy,matt can't help he made it prettier than yours

 

I may drop it from my bedroom widow outta spite

 

Yours is better dude

 

I bet you had a face like a Japanese sniper or a Chimpanzee spanking itself when you saw it Ryan, it's looking very nice indeed.

 

I went running off to the toilet Ty

 

Intercooler/rad combo trial fitted into Ross's P1 and it fits like a glove,just requires the fan mounting into position now and it will be done!


[/QUOTE]

Fist lot of parts came back from the powder coater today as well,got straight to fitting steering rack back into the cross member with whiteline poly mount along with mounting the new adjustable whiteline ARB.

 

Ryan it's looking good man I bet hate it not being on road. Did u grt my pm ?

 

Good choice with the red for the powder coating, an inspired choice.

 

Cheers bud,what PM was that?
Send another mate I get inundated with them lol

 

I didn't want a punch in the head for going monster energy green

 

Looks tidy, wonder were the idea for red underpinnings came from

 

I thought the rad was going in front of the intercooler?

Looks like a nice bit of kit.

 

No Micky the intercooler needs to get the best air flowing over it plus if you look the core fins on the IC are alot bigger than the rad to allow good air passing through it

 

Make your mind up.
