[killa_vtec]

[ali-c]

Love your work on the engine, bay, something i would love to do in the future! looking foward to future updates.

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

Thanks for all the comments guys, its what builds up the motivation to do well.

another load of updates coming up now.

here removing the drivers side hub, preparing for subframe drop.

then passenger side

subframe loose

subframe gone.

then starter cleaning the underneath of the car ready for the underseal.

and done some more filler work.

got some etch primer on some pre finished parts to stop any potential rust.

then some more filler.

Will update some more later.

Nuno.

 

[sarkel]

crazy build man looking forward to more update

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

thanks guys.

now that the bubframe is out of the way the real work can start muwahaha.

also removed the rusty horn and OEM tow hook.

then rubbed down the front end of the bay aswell as my front mount support bar.

hit it up with some more etch primer

then rubbed down the inside and primed the middle bar too.

then started to sort some more rust out

meanwhile more filler went down and so did more sanding lol

then once wet sanded etc, some more primer went down.

More soon.

looks like a great build ! looking forward to it being done

 

[jordan101]

awesome build mate definately going in the right direction

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

the next step was watch paint dry lol

drivers side prep work officially half way through was finally starting to look a bit smooth.

noticed some bits were missed, so got straight on the case.

then turned attention over to the passengers side.

nitro moors is ur friend

then more filler and sanding.

here u see i smoothed over the engine mount holes (dumbass) eventually i realised it and drilled back through them.

more later.

right update time

started on the passenger strut, with more filler and sanding woohoo....

then onto more sanding and filler

also took care of under sealing the front end of the car inc some of the front slam panel (the rad and oilcooler will cover it up anyway, and it will be sprayed over so wont really be able to tell it has underseal on it)

also the little bits that were missed on the drivers side got filled sanded and primed.

i then grinded the extra studs on the firewall that i felt weren't going to be needed.

then slapped some primer on them.

then a bit more sanding and a bit more filler.

 

[Nuno@Camtec]

then set off with a task to underseal the front end.

some before shots and after shots.

afters.

some befores on the arches.

then some afters.

after that was done. a little more sanding etc and some primer went down on the passenger side to prevent rust and look for rough spots and still need work on that might have been missed.

As it stands the project is roughly only about 3 weeks delayed on here now, will keep the work and updates going.

thanks

Nuno.
