project rev5 BUK

[alan_uk]

well car is in the bodyshop and wheels are now done the paint came out slightly darker than i had anticipated as the paint chip was a lot lighter but hey ho its done now and i do actually like the colour even if its now what i was expecting







fronts ready for paint



and while the wheels were off i went mad with wire brushes and totally cleaned up all the suspension components on the front and covered them in grease sad part is my anti roll bar rose joints are knackered and knocking like mad so need replacing at the front






also having my spoiler blade fixed were a local fat kid leaned on it while he watched me fit my harnesses and cracked it in 5 places the hefalump lol

Like those wheels fella

[alan_uk]

cheers dude i was a little aprihenchious at first but warming to them now just a shock at the darker shade lol

[wilki]

Like the wheel colour

[Magic Beans]

+1 for the wheels Alan

Keep the car black

[alan_uk]

I think I'm gonna mate really like the contrast of the wheel colour feels weirded having my wheels refurbed and them not coming back gloss black lol

[Magic Beans]

Bets on how long it will be until your focus turns to the engine

[alan_uk]

your about 8 months too late already mate my engine now is all powder coated satin black with red hosing but that will be gone for a turbo conversion as soon as i get the call from atha n co for my claim full the works

[Magic Beans]

Weren't you looking at V6s the other day

[alan_uk]

was an option but way more than i want to spend to be honest im looking to spend around £2500-£3000 all in woodsport can do me a turbo conversion plus dress package in theat budget

then the world is my oyster after that lol

[chrisrev2gt]

Good colour choice

[alan_uk]

cheers bud

i honestly thought i would of got a lot of negative feedback for this lol seems everyone likes them

i was the only 1 who didnt at first as was expecting a lot lighter

[alan_uk]

well all wheels are now finished and back on all fours lol

and im loving them now







and boy does he need a clean

[alan_uk]

my vents arrived today very pleased





cant wait to get them fitted now

[synXero]

You should maybe mesh them? They look a bit unfinished. Maybe they'll look fine on the car mind you.

[alan_uk]

i hate mesh mate lol i think it looks very cheap :S ill sort them so they look a little more presentable

[synXero]

Likewise, looks a bit Halfords. It's probably just seeing them with the wooden floor visible through them, it'll be fine over an engine.

[alan_uk]

great minds think alike bud should be should look awesome over the new turbo lump

[craig]

Coming along nicely buddy! Fancy a set of those vents now!

Plus fibreglass is better than metal. Might buy a set

[alan_uk]

£60 a pair for imocers

and thanks mate
