ek9 bonnet fit absolutely superb for me. out with the old bolts, on with the bonnet and back on they went...hey presto!
doors on today, wings on today, the wings are just lightly fastened on which is why in a couple they dont line up perfect, but i can assure you, the fit is perfect! the doors line up great, just gotta sort out all the seals where the door meets the shell.
tail lights are on and a few other bits are but my phone battery died before i could grab any shots!! bugger!!
Got a call from the company who are doing my graphics this evening around dinner time, who were at a 24 hour delivery depot and said they were paying for a saturday morning delivery so they should be here sometime tomorrow
work cracked on today again at the bodyshop, and after hours too after dinner. HUUUUUUUUGE thanks to raymond ( the bodyshop owner ) and dougie ( good friend and owner of another garage here ) who both put aside personal time, on a friday night, to help me put the car together. really wouldnt have been at F&M i dont think if it wasnt for them!!
Heres some pics from the car, FINISHED ( bar a few wee bits n bobs ). The graphics will be on tomorrow and hopefully the wing, however if that causes too much problems to fit at the moment il wait til after sunday to fit.
im not gonna be posting up any other pictures until after F&M but hope you like
my mate wullie came sneaking down just before dinner to the garage once all the work for tonight was done and decided to have a little stroke...
then, became slightly more aroused and proceeded to take things a step further...
then after dinner, it was time to fit things up tight and secure...
then around half past 9 / 10 oclock it was time to go and it was left to sit here for the night
sooo..tomorrows plans...
lexan window bonded to the tailgate, graphics, wind coilovers down further, get the underneath undersealed again ( which will also cover up some of the white overspray ). spoiler on possibly depending how it goes....and erm...thats about it...
more CarBrite polish and wax too...even though its already been drowned in it!!
Yes matey. However, i'm not going to be able to take my rally car like i hoped for, but meh - will still be good! Looking forward to having a gander around your Rex though
sorry iv not posted up the progress and finished ( for now!! ) pics as iv literally been dead all night after the show, and all day monday, it was a session and a half of a build, and it came to an end at around 10pm on saturday night after a 7am to 10pm session in my mate dougies garage!!! I cant thank him enough for it, he dedicated his own personal time to the car after 5pm.....on a saturday night!!!
i dont plan on doing graphics again anytime soon!!! what a bloody headache putting them together like a jigsaw!
