[baron-lew]

of corse .. i like the red .. i ment bold in a GOOD way

I know mate I was backing you up.

[alan7]

cheers boys makes it all worth while

anyway i got my full interior back today all finished now









and got hold of a full replacement set of dash plastics to get flocked red aswell as my glove box going down to york to get them done on the 1st



and flinging my gloss black painted 1's in the bin

[baron-lew]

You just need a car now!!!

[alan7]

well its been a while since i updated so here goes

car is in its final stages now before paint
all prep work is now complete and around 2 hours ago the car was primed ready for paint either tomorrow or next week who knows lol

managed to get myself a import rear bumper and a set of import plates as thats what i was after really rather than uk



couple of pics of it worse for ware lol




my trd coolant cap



interior all removed ready to be flocked was going to go red but decided on black in the end to keep it subtle as i think too much red will look a bit poo

and my clocks which im well happy with



also had my roof lining trimmed in black leather with 2 red stitch lines put in

and then realised i needed a black sunroof handle and all the little parts to go with it inc the rubber around the opening and interior light cover

managed to source them all now though so im happy had trouble finding a good set of black sunvisors though so removed them completly and had them trimmed over which is ok as i have a sunstrip

few more pics


border front on






then while the bumpers were off stone guarded all the metal behind them cut off the rear lower grill completly rather than it bent up and also the sills were done before the skirts were fitted after grinding all the surface rust off and stone guarding they were blown over with gloss black 2k paint

crap pic but you get the idea



and a few pics of the autopista without the sides on





anyway enjoy and hopefully next time it will be in paint

[alan7]

also forgot to mention im having a custom border style bonnet made which is now cut out and welded in place but forgot to get pics so heres 1 of it marked up so you get the idea

[fearless]

nearly there matey dont you just hate filler dust it gets everywhere, that cheap border bumper looks really good and i see you started the border bonnet top man.

[alan7]

yup matey filler dust is horrible lol

bonnet is almost done now mate just final skim of filler to go on and job done

seen the clip of inside lol

[alan7]

just a little update have finally got my roof lining back and it was well worth waiting for im very pleased with how it has turned out





thats all my interior finished now apart from the flocking which is getting done saturday

[fearless]

that looks really good mate must be nearly finished by now, keep up the good work.

[alan7]

cheers bud almost now lol

ill let the pics do the talking







polished up the mongoose


spats done but went wrong so have been removed today and put right



as can see on pics went a bit wonky lol

partly my fault

custom border style bonnet almost there


final stages



best news got shot of my autopista and got a new rev5 spoiler which has always been my favourite so im over the moon

heres my new rev3 de-badged boot lid ready for my rev5 to be fitted to



and got my flocked dash parts back today



custom gauge pod




















still needs a hoover over when the adhesive has dried due to the guy having compressor problems so was only done today while i was there so didnt have time to dry, was a worrying time driving 2 hours home with it in the boot of the car still wet worried that it was going to rub off but it held well and looks cool

when its hoovered and the excess is off will look better

my sunroof blind and sun visors are getting done now also

[alan7]

yet another update lol

got the spats sorted and straightend out lol after the epic fail of the first fit pictured above



bonnet is also fully welded now ready for prep



and today my 20mm kei hubcentric spacers turned up and now my lost rear wheels are now perfect

before



and now after





and also a extra special day as this turned up too my rev5 spoiler
so its bye bye autopista and hello rev5



and fitted on my import de-badged rev3 bootlid



and my gf bought me this for my birthday
£250 + transfer fee of £90


so its almost there now actually getting the shell painted tomorrow which will make all the difference

[Andy_Foz]

Cool plate!!! Cant believe noone already had this?!

Andy

[alan7]

lol ano mate there is thousands of trd plates on there there is still k66 trd and k6 trd and also j666 trd aswell as a few others i just went for the k as my car is k reg but was going to go for d666 trd or k666 two which is also available for the same price

[alan7]

just a quick pic update

got 1 of my door card inserts fitted today lol

[fearless]

very nice indeed the plate hmmm some people are very suspicious on 666 i think it looks cool with the trd as the last 3 prefix's really looking good, ive just treated mine to a toms scoop havent bought anything for my 2 in months lost out on a set of rev 3 lights so bought a scoop instead which ive been trying to get for years but hopefully i might pick up on the modding with mine now, im looking at a greddy lip and maybe some skirts.

[alan7]

cool wish i knew mate

i have a genuine tom's scoop which im not fitting now as it dont look right with the rev5 spoiler so it has to go

[fearless]

i think i will concentrate on getting my rev 3 lights next got bored with the standard rev 2 lights now, so gutted i missed out by £2 on them and then look out for a drivers side scoop i do like things to match, it cost me £65 for the scoop which had already been fitted so hopefully doesnt require modification to fit and is painted black aswell.

cant wait to see yours finished now matey.

[alan7]

you and me both buddy i will get some pics up as soon as its done

give my mate a ring

he is called dean he breakes mr2's and currently has 2 sets of rev3 lights which he will do a good price on mate

07816881494

tell him alan gave you his number

[fearless]

thanks mate will keep that number handy spent my quota for the month sadly im off from work at the moment on long term sickness another story, but defo want the lights next i went through a few breakers and they are the first things that go sadly and im going to need the looms brackets , centre panel the lot to fit them.

[alan7]
