project frank (MK3 LX)

Postby teamshock nick on Fri Apr 16, 2010 9:58 pm

With a lot of help from my freinds we decided to have some fun with my daily driver.

Its unfinished, hopefully will be "tided" up tommorow.

Dont take it to seriously we didnt.

It started last week when derms decided stickers were a good idea.

Image

Today we took it a bit further.

Image

Started to scotch the paint and removed badges, side strips

Image

Image

No badges..

Image

binned the caps

Image

Image

Image

Kevo started to fit the K Boooooog Coilovers

Image

Image

Image

Image

K started to mask things up but pea was quick to start with the yellow primer paint

Image

Derms wait so long for me to remove the side strips he grew facial hair

Image

K started to get carried away

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

K tinted the real lights whilst i added the new fridge magnet badge

Image

Kevo came up with this clever design on the petrol cap

Image

Image

Image

Thats it for now. Tommorow we will tidy up the emense overspray and give the car another "lick" of paint.

I didnt have the bollox to keep the bonnet how it was left so thats been painted over again now and will be resprayed propley tommorow. The roof, front bumper and bonnet have matt black paint on whilst the rear bumper has satin black. Tommorow all the black is going satin.

Spec list..
K Booooooog "coilovers" drop unknown
Resprayed in pea pea for my bum hole primer yellow.
Derms satin black roof.
Standard steelies resprayed in satin black
A s**t load of old fastcar, max and Xquisite stickers.
Black tinted rear lights "M3 styleee"
K "sport" white performance exhaust system
Fridge magnet "Xquisite fiesta" badge

Thanks to
Xquisite automotive, Max powe,, Fast Car and Halfords
Derms
Kevo boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogggggggg
K "i want to finger Daves s**t hole"
Pea Pea all over Nicks car

Ok thanks to Katie, K, Alikay, Pea Pea and Kevo the car was finished off yesterday.

Its had another layer of yellow House Of Plaha paint put on it and the bumpers and roof painted satin black

Its very bouncy!!

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Anyone who has anything they want to donate to the project feel free :o)

ok, me and katie did a bit more today. Only 1 side so far

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

had a proper look at all the wheels today

one of the previous owners has taken a hammer to one of the wheels to destroy it so no one else would be able to have the wheels (why i dont know) hes put a small fracture in the dish.

I took the really bad wheel and one thats slightly buckled at the back to shadow wheels in reading

the good news is that the bad wheel is repairable the bad news is once its repaired he dosent think i will be able to have it diamond cut back to original.

for now the 2 wheels are just having the repairs done, hes suggested buying another wheel to replace it with but i would imagine thats not going to happen with how hard they are to find.

I might have to run the car with 3 diamond cut and one silver metalic painted wheel.

Massive thanks to my mate who did all the work.

It needs to be dropped a bit more but i need the arches rolled first, i also think it needs skirts now.

It got a slight bit of camber but this needs to go as it drives like turd now :(
