looks great shaun....what colour are you painting it....

Underside pictures from earlier, I went for gloss black, really because I'm not gonna keep this one to clean underneath

Rear arches will be painted the body colour though

Took 3 litres giving it a couple of coats





More updates on Friday

[jayrs]

you missed a bit , just kidding, look spot on mate

[Turboboy67]

Nobody will see it when its 2" off the floor mate

As long as it doesn't rust for the next few years I'll be happy

[jayrs]

thats ok then.
but i'll still bring some magic paint to touch the areas in for you. magic paint is red btw, it makes the car better, faster, lighter, just ........ great, about sums it up

[Turboboy67]

Right, more progress

All powdercoated bits picked up yesterday and it all looks

Rear arches have been painted, rear beam is on (with b/n bushes)

Rear arb would of been on but my year old deflex bushes have split ,

from now on, I'm sticking to Powerflex

Should have the whole rear end built back up before the end of the week

Not the best of pictures but you get the idea



And yes, the car is being resprayed in Frozen White

[luca]

Looks awsome mate!

How did you apply the white in the end?

[Turboboy67]

How did you apply the white in the end?

With a paint brush mate, 2 coats of Hammerite

The body will be sprayed though, I promise

He sure is I believe

[jayrs]

white noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[luca]

Dont worry Jay another few years and yours will be white too!

Just the pink years to go through

[happypaul]

White FTW

I'm still curious on them holes where you have cut half the back end off

[jayrs]

Dont worry Jay another few years and yours will be white too!

Just the pink years to go through

never mate, NEVER!
my very first car was a white B reg XR2 with colour coded kit and bumpers, that was enough for me, its bad enough my work van is white, although its got loads of blue sign writing over it to try and hide as much white as poss lol

as for pink years, yes ive suffered a tad of fade in the past, but that is a thing of the past now, just nice shiny red all the way now

shaun, if you must go white, do the kit and bumpers black to make it stand out, i said this to john and he done his and it looks spot on imo, you do the same and it will be better than just all white
will match the carbon roof and bonnet then

[YoungRogue]

needs to be all white with the contrast of a carbon bonnet and bootlid, black bumpers would look wrong next to carbon and white

[jayrs]

he dont have a carbon boot lid mate, its a carbon roof and carbon bonnet

[dangerousdave]

luca commisioned the boot mould last month

[luca]

luca commisioned the boot mould last month

[jayrs]

[dangerousdave]

i think we should get a whole removable front end made out of 1 pc c/f incl rs bumper/skirts bonnetvent etc simlar to the old mini

imagine showing your bay then luca!!

[luca]

LOL


Dont give Shaun ideas too! He is crazy enough to chop the front end off!

[jayrs]

that is so true too

[Turboboy67]

LOL


Dont give Shaun ideas too! He is crazy enough to chop the front end off!

It has crossed my mind

Colour scheme is this;

White car and body kit, roof and bonnet left carbon, new carbon hatch painted white as well,

If i don't get the hatch painted the car will resemble a badger

I have 3 sets of wheels for the car 2x Comp. MO,s 15" one set anthracite, one set gloss black, and one set of 16" Super T's which will also be going gloss black.

[dangerousdave]

dont paint it it will wiegh less mate!

[rsonblackwheels]
