Well been spending more money

got myself some new stickyness



these will go on my track wheels once ive oaintem them, also bohght a gt4 front bumper to do my modification to it also been looking at a set of bucket seats to fit but the guy hasnt got back to me

Been working on some gt-four riser blocks today, broke one of my old ones after removing them; so bought these and went ahead and smoothed over the -four on the badge to leave the gt on there nowhere near finished yet but looks quite good i think

[:: blade ::]

been tinkering with the car and some bits again

so finally finished spraying my rear strut brace and sanded the riser blocks some more, will be primering them again tomorrow ready for some BMW Sparkling Graphite paint, but here they are at the mo




so spent a few more hours cleaning the car ready for me to get the machine polisher on it next week hopefully, washed, iron x, clayed, washed and dried, so here are a few more pics

bled from the iron x, was expecting it to be quite bad and turn purple all over, but the only parts that were the worst were the skirts



can see where ive clayed and not clayed



finished




tad bit of corrosion




got quite abit of a leak from the filler neck too, so a new one will be bought end of the month

and a few imperfections on the car




so thats it for now

[:: blade ::]

so pretty much finished my riser blocks now, 1 more coat of lacquer and that will do for them, leave to dry for a week or so then wetsand and machine polish then fit them to the car, the colour is BMW Sparkling graphite




sparkly

[jonyb4]

not a bad effort at all lain

[:: blade ::]

few more bits done to this today

changed the doorcards and courtesy lights, look muchos better now



fitted my rear strut brace that i sprayed, excuse how messy it is back there, it will be sorted soon



and started machine polishing it, made abit of difference, only done abit of it, so will sort it when i can be bothered to finish it off





also fitted a freeview box in the car too

[jonyb4]

i was going to do that when i had a screen in, but i never even watched dvds, id never use a tv

and you'd have to retune it everytime you changed towns driving

[:: blade ::]

i know, but for the amount of times i will get out of the north west, itll be fine for me

[:: blade ::]

had abit of time with the car today and swapped the wheels over

need to get some spacers for the rear so will try and get that sorted at the end of the month, just need to measure the size i need.

jobs to do now for it to pass its mot is fit the catalytic converter, sort the handbrake kit out and fit the fuel filler neck, then get it some tax and insurance, then i can have some playtime with it

[:: blade ::]

well had a horrible day today while i was at work, had the handbrake sorted on it and had it sent for an MOT for it to fail on emissions as the cat i got was about 4"too short, so thought will go for it and see how it goes, well got a phonecall at 6oclock to tel me it PASSED very shocked with that but also very happy as i get to play with it again passed with the decat too, so happy days, had a few advisorys tho

all corners have light corrosion
front an rear discs (been stood for nearly a yr)
nearside balljoint slight play (strange as there new)

so im a happy chappy on another note i changed the leaky filler neck to be greated with this
