morgey Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 So I've not done too much lately, brought an armrest a oil and water temp, and oil pressure gauge but have yet to fit them. discovered that my tank has split so idrees has sorted me out with another one for a good price as always And I've got fed up with not being able to paint my spare bonnet so I've decided my bedroom is a good a place as any to do it lolim using blackboard paint watered down and a paint brush, so far cost less than £9 and its had 3 coats, im now just sanding it back as the 1st layer was too thick and left ridges.my setup will be fitting the tank as soon as it turns up either during the evenings or over the weekend, gauges i need a sensor and somewhere to fit them (sandwich plate etc) and armrest whenever i get around to it.bonnet needs a couple more thin layers so it doesnt have too many brush marks etc but inevitably it will just get drawn on and shit so doesnt matter lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 The new bonnet has an intake in it? Looks like that on the picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PaulStarletSR Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 morgey the bonnet looks good mate, if the paint matched the car, to people with lesser knowledge you could pass it off as standard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ooo i like the sound of that would give the SR a much fresher/moderm look i recon i would like to have a go at spraying myself with a proper gun, which i have but just dont have the room to do it, well other than outside which may still be an option in the summer lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Xpect Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 If I had your setup in my car I would have this bonnet with the scoop on as a daily Bonnet. Would fabricate a dirt-stopper for when it's parked too, so no leafs or anything can block the air and stuff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yeah thats the main issue, this is dropping straight onto the filter so any rain leaves dirt etc will sit right ontop of it. Im going to have a word with a friends dad who deals reupholstering stuff and see about a leather strip i can clip over it for bad weather and when its parked up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shorty Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 fantastic build dude, ill be honest though i expected to see a 20v silver or blacktop under the bonnet, you ever considered the 20v lump? they rev their tits off and a supercharged 20v lump would be savage for a later phase Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Just read it all man! Fucking sick car, love it. Needs a cage in there somewhere xD.Thanks man But no cage im afraid its staying sleeper. It handles well enough without anyway Small update,Finally got around to giving the bonnet a coating of paint or 2 on the underside Also have received the first of the bits I've been waiting for, any guesses what it is? It is fairly obvious lolWill be getting on with fitting everything when it all arrives and i can get on with it all in one go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
