Wide Arched V5 STI Type R
I swore to myself that I'd never do another one but here I am, again.
Glutton for punishment, again.
Going to do as much as I can myself, again.
Including a DIY full re spray, again.
I bought this a few months back. I thought I'd start by bringing you all upto date with what Ive been upto sine I first collected the car.

Now that all the chopping and welding had been done I transported home so I could work on it there.
It was time to get it painted. Which was done in the open air in my back garden at home.
This time i'm keeping in the original colour in this case 86F . The Engine bay saw some colour first. Followed by the bonnet.

Bloody hell Daz fair play to you mate. Every time I see a jag in that blue colour it reminds me of your last classic! I'm guessing that your planning on running in s3 then with the widened body? If so the sky's the limit with regards what you can so with the motor!

This is going to be more of a road car. That said I'm aiming for north of 600bhp with this one. Not bothered what class re sprints I was always going to end up in S3 no matter what I did. It's just a shame that the arches put you in a class with full on race cars.

I used this stuff on the car. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/pr...schutz-coating. It's really easy to apply and including the special spray gun to do it the cost for the whole car was less than £50.
Surface prep was a dirty horrible affair. A jet wash, lots of degreaser and various scrubbing brushes. It's imperitive that you let the car dry thoroughly before you apply this stuff otherwise it will just hold it there against the paintwork.
