I want the pheonix badge to replace the old Innsbruck faded badge but I don't have a tenner at the moment Shame really!

And thanks Daz, you'll be seeing it at the next kettering meet I assume?

UPDATE:

Did a bit of tinting and respraying, first of all the rear indictors:

Before:



After:



And the newly resprayed headlight protectors, I think I might actually do the bottom to give them more of a squint... I have no idea if it'll look good or pants.

Nice work Porl

it's nice mate))

p.s. can you say me where can I buy the same protectors in the Internet

I actually got these with my old car as the guy worked at Mazda (within the spare parts department) so he grabbed them pretty easily.

Buying new I'm not 100% sure actually, but I'm sure someone will know, if you're after some you're best of putting up a "Wanted" ad.

understand...so will try to find it))

Nothing Special today,

Resprayed front badge:



And resprayed the tints so they're darker, other ones were getting on my nerves:





Also have a super secret plan that's so super secret I can't utter a word about it. That said I'll try getting some photos up tomorrow.

Car also needs a damn good wash!

Really comming on well Paul

comin along nicely int it

Looking good

Thanks muchly guys always appreciated, Should be getting those calipers painted with the uprated discs and pads next week too

Tint looks good mate, which spray did you use and does enough light still get through?

Ecellent work mate that back end looks spot on!

@Justme - I used Savage tint spray it's very good stuff - I used several coats to get it dark as that, and no it really doesn't block out much light actually I'm surprised how good it is for that.

Ok, went to see Hughie to get a few bits sorted which included new drilled, grooved discs and mintex pads (which were like 3 quid cheaper than Brembo so why not), I also attempted to fit the HT leads, Spark plugs and as much of the brakes as pose myself, but I've discovered that hughie hates not having something to do when it comes to cars which is both good and bad Thanks again mate for the all the help Also nice seeing Darren and your family again, lovely cuppa

Old discs all crappy looking:


New Disc!:


Painted the calipers lime green, have to say this was good paint only paid about £7 for it and it can be used as spray paint too:




Pads fitted:


Also did splitter, had to get the bumper off for it though got "Bored" trying to do it on the car haha:







New sparkly HT leads and Spark plugs, much smaller contact area on the spark plug but looks good to me, I can say I notice a small difference in response but I'd say that was down to have very old HT leads more than anything.



To be continued... Next sat I've got MOT, going to get an oil change, fuel filter change, new throttle body fitted, higher brake light, body panels sorted errr thats all I can think of for now then she should start coming together a bit more! Hopefully get this all done for Japfest

Coming on lovely Paul

Nice one Paul, looking good mate.

Cheers guys.

Did a wash and wash yesterday, only managed a couple of photos on the phone:

that hoe is looking gd paul

Right managed to do some stuff whilst I was on the easter holidays but nothing near what I wanted to, ah well I'll find time to do that oil change in the next week or so.

Fitted chrome kickplates, unfortunatly the clips are pretty shagged so I couldn't drill the plates down so I've stuck them down using numberplate double sided stickers:





A couple of stickers, one to cover some rear bumper damage (which won't upload cause photobuckets crap):



And I Phoenix had a wash today as well:

Looks lovely fella, stickers are good, we like stickers

Must admit i liked Crystal but i like this one i like better

Loving those calipers! I want mine that colour right now! Lol

Paul , your car is looking evil since the last time i saw it . Loads done and i am sure more to come . Keep it up mate . I am looking forward to seeing the next mod .

Thanks very much guys allows appreciate it.

@Debz - Aye, I do miss Crystal!

@Phil - I can link you the caliper paint I bought it's brilliant and I think it will match the lime green you're using mate, PM if you're interested.

@MazdaMonster - That's what I'm going for, hope to see your new beasty soon

Consider yourself PM'd!

nice work paul, very good work

Looking great Paul, and I love those stainless sills, mine comming at Jap fest

You will mate , I'll start my own car thread when I get it . The new car will be at JAE this year too .

I'm very very impressed I have to say! Definitely one of the more tastefully modified F's Infact if I'm honest (and I might as well be) the only thing that I don't like is the black rear panel. Everything else looks brilliant.

Glad you like Si I am tempted to respray the panel gloss black as it is satin at the moment but I'm happy as it is for now.

I'll post up piccys soon but on Saturday I took the car to the bodyshop to get the bump strip mess professionally removed, I'm very impressed, the doors got a good polish, it's not perfect but it's better than it was!
