micrat Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 I am MEGA happy with today's progress!!! My mate Dan came over in his 160 quid wonder which he was tinkering with...and I did my wheels, what a difference a bit of graft makes!!! See the pic above with the tank for a before shot... And now... Love it - and the start of my little yellow highlights! Quote
Amjad Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 I kinda like this! I'd have done the bumpers the same colour though Quote
Starlet-Joshy Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Mate that looks rudee!!!!! Keep up the work buddy! Quote
micrat Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 Little bits of progress being made - a lot is the paint, bits that don't show on pics but bug the crap out of me - its only a roller job so there's still a lot of door shuts / nooks and crannies to do! Also fitted my tow strap, painted my wipers and scuttle panel, painted the front crossmember as it showed through the bumper and was still the original 6p2 green...and added some yellow flashes... Have some fresh off the jacks, dirty, not very well taken pictures Quote
Vturbo Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I have always secretly wanted to Paint mine NATO green, looks good! Quote
Beastmode panda Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 No offence but what is Kanjo about this? Radial tyres and a rusty fuel cap cover? Quote
micrat Posted April 30, 2014 Author Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) No offence but what is Kanjo about this?Radial tyres and a rusty fuel cap cover?Admittedly not much...yet...not that the rusty filler has anything to do with kanjo styling anyway...but as a whole it is only maybe 40% done...it will get there and start to make sense! Interior...cage...window nets...splitter...all bubbling away...then some more power! Edited April 30, 2014 by micrat Quote
Starlet-Joshy Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Loving it mate! Kanjo style is the way!!! Quote
oliolip Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Really like this, nice to see someone do it differently! Just wondering, what did you bolt the towstrap onto mate? Quote
micrat Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Really like this, nice to see someone do it differently! Just wondering, what did you bolt the towstrap onto mate?Cheers I'll try and snap a pic of it but basically drilled a bolt sized hole through the front crossmember (all the way through as its box section) then opened the lower hole up until it was big enough to get a socket up into. Pushed the bolt up and through with a socket...spannered it up...boom. Quote
micrat Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 Thats looking down onto it...if that helps? Quote
oliolip Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Nice one mate, very helpful! I'll have a go at it at the weekend. Cheers for the advice, an good work with the n/a bud. Quote
Starlet-Joshy Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) It's not even a kanjo paint job tbf he's only just changed the title recently, So any new updates will be more linked than the previous ones Edited May 7, 2014 by Starlet-Joshy Quote
micrat Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 ^ what he said...its not done yet! Nowhere near. Quote
micrat Posted May 15, 2014 Author Posted May 15, 2014 Slow progress at the mo, family chaos, hospital trips and that! Managed to paint the door shuts etc, I have a spoiler being made at the moment out of some ally, designed it with cardboard templating and sticky tape so we'll see how that goes (potentially awesome but whats in my head and what will happen are 2 different things) and just trying to get all the sound deadening off the roof which is a shite job. This weekend the inside should get painted and then seats and steering wheel can go in. Have a few pics and 1 of my inspiration, my fave Kanjo styled civic (they don't all have the lairy paintjobs etc!) Fail for using red oxide primer too - overspray is mega obvious lol! Quote
Nanglebadger Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 getting sound deadening off the roof is a real prick. took me ages and my thumb was a blistered mess by the end! Phil. Quote
RobSR Posted May 16, 2014 Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I used wire wool and meth/thinners to get the shit off the roof. Edited May 16, 2014 by RobSR Quote
micrat Posted May 16, 2014 Author Posted May 16, 2014 Yeah I am just attacking it with the wirey attachment on my drill and then thinners! Like a load of granny pubes! Grim. Best thing is don't have to be all careful and preserve the paint as it will all be black soon anyway inside Quote
Rich-k Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 a livesports spoiler will look sweet on this plastic windows with netting everywhere, cant wait too see this its very different Quote
