  • lights look spot on, do they improve night vision?

    Got to say though, square plate needs be on the side…
    looks better and you wont be covering your rad :wink:



  • Thanks… I think they do improve night vision... not by a whole lot.. but enough to make a difference.

    The plate is staying in the middle until such times as the holes get covered :wink:



  • all road legal too?

    Ah I see, you have plans :)



  • @175690e32c=youdirtyfox:

    all road legal too?

    Ah I see, you have plans :)

    Yeah Matey.. All road legal and MOT Friendly!!!

    I do indeed have plans… Although, these plans are constrained by cost, therefore all progress will be slow :cry:

    Hoping to have some done for Japfest... :wink:



  • So since the weather is nice…

    I have started to rub down a bumper with the plan to delete the standard number plate holes....

    1st pics.. i'll be doing this on and off... so do expect any over night surprises!! :lol: :lol:

    Hope to get it all rubbed down, filled and primed by next week…



  • Rear Cam Cover Painted This Evening…

    New IM Gaskets…

    OLD IM Gaskets vs NEW IM Gaskets

    Finally…

    I had an issue with No. 5 Spark... Lead melted...

    Pic of all old bits.. in the middle is the part of the Spark Lead :(



  • Radiator Panel Now also Matt Black

    Oh…And the car is up and running again!!! :D



  • well done mate, good to hear :)



  • Was much easier to put back together again.. :lol:

    Probably cos i now know where everything goes!!! :roll:



  • Picked up some rims today….

    all need refurbed…. and 1 is Gun Metal.. the others are Home painted black..



  • They look nice, what size did you go for?



  • They are 17's.. :(

    I want 16's but for £80 i can't complain too much :lol:

    outta the 5 i have 3 decent tyres and 2 look like they've been used for drifting :?

    Guy i got em off had em on his e30…



  • They are nice wheels, will look good when done and fitted



  • A bit of Pre- Show Bling in the engine bay…. :wink:

    Wish I hadda got my polished cam cover this week…. :(



  • @56bad302b2=djmarcopolo:

    They are nice wheels, will look good when done and fitted

    Watch this space :lol:

    I hope to make a start on em soon… although i wanna finish the bumper first :roll:

    Just painting to do on it.. a few weeks and it'll be on the car, then the wheels are next!!! 8)



  • cool, will look good, loving those screws you fitted, I am getting that panel and the front rocker powder coated very soon and they look a good finish to go with it



  • yeh very nice work, makes it look loads cleaner spraying the rad holder and washers etc are nice highlights



  • Well, Small update…

    I've had a few things niggling on me on the car..

    1. The front wiper arms looked horrid... all chipped and a few rust spots coming through... today i stripped the old paint off and painted them with Matt Black Enamel paint... much nicer.. 8)

    2. The 3rd (High level) Brake Light refused to illuminate when i pressed the brake pedal... turned out to be the connector, connecting the wiring to the unit itself.. all fixed now. :D

    3. I am still stripping paint (& powdercoat) off the 17's... what a biatch of a job... I have killed my electric drill using a paint stripping wheel!!!... :evil:



  • great work hammy. I really like the matt black and annodized part contrast, the nuts are the nuts!



  • Thanks Marco!!!… Nothing nearly as interesting as Sooty... but i'm happy with it!!! :wink:
