woah they look amazing!! Iv just started rubbing mine down ready for paint. will replace the stickers and stuff like you did.

Don't know weather to keep the lip polished or not. Shitty uk roads will just make them all pitted again hmm

Hi mate, just wondering what colour are your callipers and rocker cover? And is the stuff on the calipers high temp or did you just prime it with high temp? Also where did you get it from or do you have any left I could buy? Thanks

Come along way mate, great little car

I have made up the brackets for my new seats but only fitted the drivers side as i still need to purchase a passenger side ek9 rail. Here is the seat mounted and fitted with the harness back on

Then i set about putting my 262 discs on the back. All jacked up with the standard drums on..

Then fitted with fresh pads, HEL brake lines and handbrake cables all bolted up..

Wheels are rubbed down here, ready for some fresh paint Not too sure what colour to paint them yet though. Heres a pic of the engine, I know its messy and there are wires everywhere. Something il sort once the m.o.t is done

LOL^^

No worries dude!

Bought some D2 camber arms and fitted them the other day...

Also rolled the arches so no more scrubbing Also been sanding down my wheels every now and then when they are off the car but tonight I finished rubbing one of them down. Now this one is ready for primer and paint Will be getting started on it tmorrow.

Rear weels have finally been painted aswel , heres the process.. Stripped the stickers off using some nitromorse..

Also stripped the paint off the lettering so that the extra layers wouldnt make it too thick..

All sannded down and keyed ready for primer..

masked and primed..

[Pete180]

I've always kinda liked the black bumper strips to help split up the colour but this definitely pulls it off sweet build!
