TrisK Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Gonna taking a few bits off this tonight. Seats, spoiler etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 So project save this has begun. Started ripping out all the gash bits. Including these lovely seats that somebody decided are nicer than the evo recaros I put in....Luckily I have a set of standard GT seatss hanging around in the unit for such an occasion. So those will look a lot nicer. So to show how much the previous owner looked after the car. When I pulled the seats out this was waiting for meYummyBack to the outside:..Also as mentioned before somebody has flatted the paint back (for a respray I presume). So I've started sorting that out as they'd gone back to bare metal in places. I will repaint it. But don't have the budget. Again. I have things in the shed for this occasion. This will do as a cheap option for now matte white That's all for now. More updates after japfest probably Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So this has temporailly gone on hold til I get a new gun and some actually Toulene based thinners Im still gonna plastidip it. just waiting to get the correct thinners. as i think the stuff i used was wrong we also think that the nozzle on the gun isnt big enough, and that was part of the reason it was spraying strange Quote Link to post Share on other sites
