rob_bower Posted June 26, 2007 Posted June 26, 2007 oooohhh i like the yellow looking good idrees!!!! a bargain it was an a good looking car it will be!!! Quote
Idrees Posted June 26, 2007 Author Posted June 26, 2007 Cheers guys A couple of coats in White Primer...And then the Yellow...And some more Yellow....Then the 2K lacquer which was very hard to mix but it'll last longer then the ordinary 1K So now the most complicated part is out of the way!! I know I could have left the engine bay White and saved alot of hassle as alot of people recommended, but I'm abit of a perfectionist so I wanted it all done!! The glass company let me down as the windscreen removal was booked in for today And tomorrow I need to go 'nut and bolt shopping' to replace alot of them in the engine bay with Stainless ones as the current ones rusty Ps - The colour has turned out EXACTLY how I wanted it do be so I'm well chuffed with it Quote
Starletmeech Posted June 27, 2007 Posted June 27, 2007 That's gonna look awesome! using your time off well i seeGet it finished asap we're all excited by the sounds of it Quote

Idrees Posted June 27, 2007 Author Posted June 27, 2007 Thanks guys, as Sparky said the windscreen was crackedGot it removed today, and I decided to get the rear quarter glass taken out too (the bond had to be cut)Now at least I'm not worried about the paint eventually peeling around the windows Anyway, heres a few shotsGot round to starting on the interior too..

Mikey Jay Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Noice, your car will be like new when it's finished :lol: Quote
StarletRick Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 lol, i love the way you just sprayed right ove the top mounts of the suspension. Quote
Idrees Posted June 28, 2007 Author Posted June 28, 2007 Thats because the suspension is my brothers because he's borrowed mine, these are total wank and will be binned once he gets himself a decent set and gives mine back.No its not hard to spray but it was very hard when I first started this stuff, especially with a spray gun! The hardest part is probably mixing the paint! Quote
muddyell Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Not his suspension so dont matter His bro has his Quote
RobSR Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 looking when do you hope to have it finished?CheersRob Quote
SiCaln Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 gna look pretty smart when done i reckon man good work Quote
RoSsSr16v Posted June 28, 2007 Posted June 28, 2007 Good progress idreesi like the way the black on the rocker cover stands out from the rest of the car... well the whole engine actually lolafter youve got this project all painted...i think (this is just my opinion by the way) a set of black rotas would set this car off totallykeep us posted dude Quote
Idrees Posted June 28, 2007 Author Posted June 28, 2007 Cheers guys I want some Advans for her when I've done with the bodywork Today I gave the interior a second coat, didn't get round to lacquer though. I 'Reconditioned' a few parts from the front such as the radiator mounts and bonnet catch, so they're no longer rusty but instead are a nice Gloss Black Got most of the old painted flattened too, I need to sort the garage out and she's ready for the body paint Quote
Idrees Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 I got more of the paint flattened today, and some more masking up! Quote
Idrees Posted June 30, 2007 Author Posted June 30, 2007 Check out my fresh looking radiator mounts ;)Refurbed the bonnet catch and bumper brackets too, and sprayed the bumper and chassis bar Black to hide it all from the bumper grille ;)Ps - Spot the changes in the engine bay ;) Quote
