Flynn Posted April 20, 2015 Author Share Posted April 20, 2015 Sooooooo nearly bought those wheels lolWith the clock ticking for Japfest and the car still needing tracking and what not I had a bang at fitting the RSR panhard but due to it being welded at one end I've got serious wheel poke on the left and I'm flush on the right. It's going to have to sit that way until I find another one then I can get it stuck in the garage! My Bride passenger seat and rail got dropped into the machine shop for a couple of brackets and will be done for the weekend so I can get that in with a box fresh Takata harness to keep things consistent up front!

Flynn Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks boys still got the skirts to finish prepping and then get them in with the Livesports spoiler for paint. That will pretty much be it for the outside, the front bumpers a bit of a state but realistically that's gonna have to wait a few months! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flynn Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 I've had 2 sets of OEM skirts sat in the shed for about a year and with 2 weeks till show season I thought it best to pull my finger out and have a go at prepping them for the sprayers! Sanded them back and filled a few chunks that were missing before getting a good covering of primer on. Only managed to flat that layer out today so another coat of primer and another smooth and they should be good to go!Was keeping these Ray's for a rainy day project but after picking up a genuine set of valve covers and finding an amazing deal on tires, I thought I'd get them painted and maybe rock them for Japfest!

Flynn Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 Got loads done today for a change, managed to finish prepping the side skirts and dropped them into the bodyshop along with the spoiler. Had to arrange for the paint to be mixed so dropped in my fuel flap for them to colour match.Should have them back with a couple of evenings to spare to get them fitting nice!Next job was refreshing the front brake callipers and having a general sort out up front (as seen above I had a cheeky test fit of the Volks!) Valve caps and internal drive wheel nuts arrived yesterday so they went on too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Been a full on weekend getting bits done. Finished the alloys yesterday and have a couple of nearly new Prada 2's so I'll get them swapped over in the next few days. Still waiting on delivery of the Cusco panhard rod so the car may not even get alignment and tracking sorted till Friday!Literally spent all day cleaning up and finishing bits in the engine bay, still got to run the wiring for the gauges but the mrs brother is giving me a hand tomorrowing evening!Gave the HKS back box it's first ever clean and it came up super good!
