Idrees Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Thanks Paul, im gonna build the bumper back up again - Not wasting a penny!!G - U2U'd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Some new pictures taken this week:Today:Fitted on the primed wingThe reason i've done that is because it will be going to a bodyshop for a respray now. I've been thinking and discussing with some members, and decided its best for me to prepare all the car myself, and get it professionally resprayed as it'll be cheaper like that.Rear end:This is the main accident damage to the car:My cousins going to try and straighten it, but if that doesn't work then i'll get that section cut out from a breaker and welded on.Took the bumper off too, and stripped out all the inside left: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 How cool does it look without a wing ;) Thats the plan with me....get as much of the prep work done by myself and father and then just get a bodyshop to paint it!!!Looking good my man Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 11, 2007 Author Share Posted March 11, 2007 ThanksI've been discussing it with a few people, and they said its best left to the professionals to actually paint it, so i thought well i can just prep it up myself and get it in for a respray.Also started smoothing out the grooves on the doors yesterday with fibreglass, not done alot, just a small tester area!

Idrees Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Little update:Decided not to bother with a respray yet, willing to get it on the road for my dad to drive to work for about a year.I've started painted the wing, but then ran out of paint.Got:Corolla GTI-16 Sideskirts - In the garage, waiting to get modified and fitted after more important thingsSpace saver wheel - Got it free and needed something to keep as a spare!Waiting on:3hp Compressor (Definitely getting it this time) - Receiving this weekend hopefullyRazo Gear Knob - Paid forOrange Lenses - Waiting at the post office for meJUN Civic EG Lip - Negotiating Delivery chargeGlanza Spoiler - Talking my brother into swapping it for my TTE before he sells upStill needed are:Windscreen - This is the most important thing right now! Can't afford a brand new, need second handTailgate - Found one, need to collect itPassengers doorDrivers door mirror OR both Glanza ones with all wiring loomRear bumper - Getting a free damaged one which I'm going to fix up for my car, OR I'll be buying a Glanza bumper if the seller gives me a good priceThats it for now guys. I know I've not done much but thats because this is the most important time of all my school life - GCSE preparation! Its also because I've been spraying parts for other cars which i need to do for money to spend on my SR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Finally started on the bumper:Before:After: Cut the number plate holder out to get it all smoothed.Also fibreglassed an aluminium sheet in place of the fog light holes. Its the way a professional has told me to go about it for it to be really strong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
