Project car updated again
Spent another day with Gareth and the guys today.
Gareth was pretty busy so we didn't get much done, but we ticked off some of the jobs we needed to
The chrome on the windows has been blacked out
The lights back in
The internal wiring taped up
The ignition plastics swapped for the ones from the donnor car.
Cruise removed
Next up we had a look at the bumpers. I am amazed at how much they weighed. Closer inspection revealed and outer and inner bumper. The decision was taken to try to remove the inner.
This was achieved. You can see the heavy inner in the foreground
That complete we set about cutting the part of the inner we needed to retain out
I would suggest this saved us at the very least 6KG's. It also gave the others the chance to watch and laugh while I worked up a sweat. Yes GAW GUS George is eating a Kebab
When we trial fitted the front bumper we weren't sure about the look. We decided to take out the bumper strips to remain black. The rest will be painted Orange
The cold air feed was trial fitted. I like the look alot
The next steps are
Get a guy to touch up the interior paint and cover the areas missed during the main paint job.
Fit the driver window slider
Fit the 5th Bonnet pin
Fit rear door locks.
Sort the wiring and fit the dash
Seats
etc etc
Comedy moment of the day. Jimmy was having his alignment checked. I said he needed that doing for ages
Gareth pain stakingly set the equipment. He asked Jimmy to do something telling Jimmy to be careful of the equipment as he passed it. ''yeah yeah'' came the reply. What could only be 5 seconds later Jimmy kicked the lot over It made my day as it defelcted to Bollocking I got all day for a while
Another great day guys
