Mikey Jay Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Plans coming along brilliantly lil' amigo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Cut the bumper out already aye???? you gonna cut the top grille out???Need better pics of the colour to be honest mate dont really do it justice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Yeah the bumpers already cut out I really do want to cut out the top grille but it'll loose support i think, because the honeycomb grille attaches to that and holds it to the slap panel. But what i am going to do is cut out the small bar that goes vertically, so that it'll have just one bar going across! I'll go get some pictures of the colour when the suns shining Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Theres a tow truck at my door and its got your name all over it ;) Now your just being greedy Idrees Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 Hahahaha!!Looking forward to getting my parts of G's old SR!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Had such a boring weekend so i thought i'd start preparing it for the new paint.. Starting from the front. Managed to get nearly one complete wing done, i'm going to strip the car totally straight after the VIC test, which i'll have to book when my dads back from holiday!(The reason i've put that useless picture up is because updates without pictures are boring!)

Nanglebadger Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 your one busy busy little beaver dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!keep it up!Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 Right, my Enkeis are now off the car (After spending ages getting the locking nut off without the key!) and my car now sits on 4 random steel wheels which are all different sizes! Its staying like that till I get my Paseo rims which will probably be in about a month. They'll only be temporary though Also on the way down from Scotland right now are some parts, i'm not sure of exactly what though. Something along the lines of doors and a tailgate. (Thanks to G)Will update with pictures tomorrow! Oh yeah, I've got a spare bit of cash from selling the rims so i hope to buy my Yellow paint very soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Ok, so my Enkeis went today for £180! I gave a £50 cut to my cousin for bringing me all the parts down off G's old breaker.So the new parts are:Passengers doorTailgateDrivers wing mirrorPassengers wing mirrorRear boot panel (Will have to be welded on)Standard air box with the pipe (Another one!)Heres all the little bits i've gathered so far:And heres the bigger parts: (Glanza bumper and spoiler are hiding away in a box!)Now i'm not sure whether i should keep my cash for the paint, or to order my Glanza headlights?! But besides a pair of skirts, V headlights and the rear plate surround, everything is there for me! Just need to get he VIC done before it all starts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Get all the parts first amigo, then get the paint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hmm... I'll keep saving and make up my mind after exams I'm just £490 away from getting everything! And then its just rims Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Enzo Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 mate your potent inspiration, soo wish i was like you when i was your age,top bombing Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Hehe, thanks guys! I started de-locking the tailgate today with some aluminium and fibreglass. I tried welding some metal behind the hole first but i couldn't get the welder to work for me! It just needs abit of filler and smoothing, I'm undecided whether to ditch or keep the rear wiper...

Mikey Jay Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Nah, no need for a rear wiper Get rid of it.(don't get a choice with the Seo, comes without a rear wiper as standard lol) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 You sure mate? It won't make the rear screen too difficult to see through in the rain etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Is ok for me, although gets awkward in uber heavy rain.Ask Keirz, I think he's had his rear wiper completely removed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Yes it will be harder to see bit will look soooo much better, im ditching mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Well, Sparky, I'm taking your word for it. It'll be coming off for sure It will pass MOT without it though right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey Jay Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Course it will, otherwise you wouldn't have cars made without them Rear wiper is not a legal requirement.When the Starlet did it's MOT, they didn't even look at the rear wiper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
