Love how this is done under a tent! Haha same way mine was rebuilt  haha

Would 100% been cheaper to get a paint shop to do it but where is the fun in that lol.

[Sam44]

Really enjoying people's builds. Getting skills. 

I need to get mine painted. Full paint. 

[akyakapotter]

Went down and fitted up the rear bumper up looks ok but colour is off owell.

Just rear splitter and skirts to finish now. 

 

[Bopthebear]

Looking good 😎

[akyakapotter]

Had an impulse and purchased an air compressor spray gun and all the bits to go with it at least will give me something to do if we get locked down 😂

[JxckGlanza]

Wow that was a serious read. 65 pages start to finish, good to see a serious loyal glanza owner lol. 
 

Great build and hope you keep up with it even though I really don’t know how those blue wheels make me feel haha. 
 

I saw you wanted a wolf ecu last year. Sounds crazy in this day and age to pay for one of those. Surely could speak to rob at fiske and get a link sorted for the same kinda price. 
 

over the years you’ve not really had a bad word to say about Tuning Developments does it still stand like that? Still speak highly of them? 
 

Your old evo recaro what’s happened to it? Would be interested in buying the pair If I’m honest, any possibility ? You could use that to get a passenger fixed haha.

Hey dude still stands with td good mates with Mike speak to him every over week. Wolf is the chosen ECU td use for mapping so I'll go with that when the time comes. Seats in my girlfriend's loft lol not for sale though. 

Thanks for the kind words.

Cheers nick

Done a bit more today got the skirts in primer hoping to wet and dry them tomorrow and go over with dolphin glaze where it needs its it's not an amazing job but I'm not a sprayer and first time using a gun and all keeping me busy in there's uncertain times.

good effort mate. nice to see youve got a filter on the gun also. Have you got a little regulator on the gun? you might find that helps. I know you have one on the compressor but one on the gun allows you to fine tune what your actually getting at the gun.

[JxckGlanza]

Hiya mate, where do you get your paint from? what company u use?

Yeah got one on the gun aswell isn't any good mind you tells me pressure at the gun but as soon as I pull the trigger it goes to zero and sod all adjustment on it even though it has a adjustment nob that's what you get for getting it off Amazon lol.

Just off eBay bud I've not used the 040 yet so dunno if it's the right one yet.

So..... May have got to the point where the genuine livesports skirts done my nut in one to many times this happend 

So they are no more oops I'll order a set of fisk ones they do the next run. 

Off down my garage the other day to get my oem skirts that I painted black when I had my na to bring home and repaint white for the time being. 

They will do for the time being better than no skirts at all. I'll get the rear splitter sorted at some point and back on probly repaint the rear bumper aswell as I wasn't happy with it. 

Thinking about raising the car 5 - 10 mm aswell as I keep having problems with rubbing on the arches. 

Cheers nick.

Had this delivered today hopefully will stop the rear main leaking oil seams to do it not long after changing the seal I'd assume it's because there is a ring right round the crank end so it seeps past the seal.

What’s that ??

[jellybaby]

That to slide

iver the crank ??

[akyakapotter]

Yes mate it's a sleeve for the crank to cover the damage so the seal has a nice surface to seal to hopefully. 

[akyakapotter]

Put my deposit down for replacement livesports skirts will be from Fiske so 6 weeks or so I'll have the new set in.
