180bhp/209lb Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 sounds like a nice motor u got there matebut do not wire brush your rocker cover, u will destroy it use some flating paper, depending on how bad it is work your way down from the corser grades ie p180 down to p500 (u can go further if u wish but u can paint over p500 scratches). that will leave a nice smooth surface to paint over Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattyCD Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 ah ok thanks, will do that instead, wasn't planning on painting it yet because i will need new nuts and washers so i will just sand it down so it looks clean and shiny again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WallaceGlanza Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Looking good mate, I don't know if its just the picture but it looks like your drivers side headlight is a crystal one already?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MattyCD Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 Nah lol, it looks like it is in the pics because of the flash on my camera i think because i pointed it more to the left Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I thought it might just be that, it just looks a lot clearer than the other headlight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MattyCD Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 Had a right fiasco today thoughone of the buttons for the locking is knackered, so everytime u opened a door or the boot the alarm went off , we must have had it going about 20 times until i said fuck it and pushed it across to the opposite driveway and we went out in the other car and bought a new battery for it and came back and it was still broke! thankfully my brother got the spare keys from the previous owners neighbour and it worked first time. 2 hours of messing about to find the key was brown bread ;)Next month the ICE is going in with a self made enclosure, going to take the spare tyre out and put a plinth in the boot to level it then from ther inside edges there will be a sloping edge so its got a false bottom to house 3 Amps and i will have 2 subs (10 or 12 inch JL's or Alpines) with the backs facing outwards with more expensive, better looking cables and 4 new speakers for back and front. All fitting and the enclosure will be done by a family member and myself to save on cash Crystal Headlights and Front Strut Brace will go on aswell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
