Next was to clean out the gun mix up the base and hold my breath! Mask adorned, compressor and gun set up, rain no where to be seen i wiped the car down once again with panel wipe, ran over the body with a tack cloth and started spraying. This was the biggest task off the day as i'd only ever spraye...

Once the car had been given a guide coat of black i sanded it all back with 400 grit paper on a da air sander, then went about filling any chips and deep scratches. Once the filler was sanded smooth i got about with the panel wipe, taked off the car and primed everything that needed primer ie: The w...

The whole car was masked up with masking plastic film that has been a joy to use, just pull it across the car, cut off what you need and shake like making a bed and voila, the sheets unfolds and covers the car. Its slightly static so sticks to the body, you then just push the sheeting onto the back ...

After waiting for what seems like weeks for a decent day i managed to find that Tuesday was the day to crack on with the rest of the body, plus i was dying to get some colour on too see what it looks like. This is where i made my stand lol http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s427/ajextreme2/MR2/file...

The finished front bumper

Cheers guys starting to become a bit of a mission but i'm plodding along, had a fairly productive day today and i must say my spraying technique is also coming along leaps and bounds. Managed to get the new sidelights and indicators wired in today, gone for DRL style in the 2 bumper ducts that come ...

Just for reference i think they look good fitted with the bar removed

My 2p worth

Makes sense mines an import! No holes in the bootlid

Removed all badges on mine I used a blade to lift an edge and then needle nose nose pliers to pull he badges off, stuck on with glue. Then attach a caramel wheel/do-nut onto your drill and remove the residue Wash and wax! When pulling the badges off thy do tend to bend out of shape so the slower the...

I use halfords premium dot 5.1, I have no where near 400bhp but still have pretty solid brakes when needed!!

Lol i went and brought a compressor and a couple of HVLP guns. Used the rattle cans to do the side intakes but a few weeks later stripped them back to blend in the skirts. Since i'm doing the full colour change myself i thought i'd better get all the gear. Using 2K paint and clear coat from local pa...

This would prob be a good time to say that if your thinking of spraying your car then its a time consuming process. I have taken it upon myself to do all the bodywork myself as its something i have little experience in so is a great learning curve and although it wont be immaculate the car will have...

End of day 2 i got the roof finished, the doors finished and back on and unmasked ready to be re-masked (joy) for some paint on the rest of the body How she looks at the moment http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s427/ajextreme2/MR2/file-36.jpg http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s427/ajextreme2/MR2...

Once again been a while since i updated this thread but been going as fast as the weather will permit. What have i have achieved since the last post. - Bodywork all sorted and kit blended in. - New custom border front bumper fitted - Spare suspension arms F&R stripped, painted and polybushed, re...

They are certainly an improved ride, i was shocked at just how good they are and am only looking at coilovers as i want to use my car for occasional weekends and track day's, my car was an everyday driver so Koni's were the best option but now i have the MR2 as a 2nd car :lol: No fun to be had on pu...
