40" drop?

Love yur car mate, looks so good.

[quote="Simondo"]40" drop? [/quote]
Whoops, I meant 40mm drop! lol How low would that be, through the floor!

So glad you've finally put up a thread Phil, I F-ing love your 1.8 mate seriously can't wait to have a butchers in the flesh at Japfest!

Certainly not have to do the neon floor lights thing

Wait till it comes back from the paint shop!

Righto, finally finished my spraying. Pics below.

The parts to be sprayed. Front tow hook, slam panel and ZXi strut brace.
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/28042011145_640x480.png[/img]

Primered up after spending hours sanding the rust off. (No pictures of my cleanie shiny slam panel so you'll have to take my word for it!)
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/28042011146_640x480.png[/img]

First few coats of Kawasaki lime green..
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/29042011147_640x480.png[/img]

And the only bit of orange peel that happened. Cleaned it up as best as I could, but since it was on the underside of the brace, didn't fully fix it.
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/29042011148_640x480.png[/img]

What the engine bay looked like before...
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/29042011149_640x480.png[/img]

And what it looked like after. (Look, I even cleaned some of the sludge from around the bonnet catch!)
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/29042011150_640x480.png[/img]

I haven't fitted the newly sprayed tow hook, as I couldn't be bothered to remove the front bumper. But I'll do it before Tuesday.

Nice work mate, really makes a big difference.

Thanks, can't wait till I pain the rest of it! lol

Looks so much better Phil

Only problem is, now I need a whole poop load of shiny shiny bolts and dome nuts and things. lol

Spray the dome nuts with the green paint, when their dry push some toilet paper into the socket head and tighten

Could do, but they're all rusty and minging anyway. New one will last longer!

Did more painting today. But first a disaster!!!
















Tried to sand down my spare reflector panel to spray that up and it kinda, sorta, snapped a bit.
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/01052011151.png[/img]

So I decided to spray something else instead...
[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/01052011152.png[/img]
Can you tell what it is yet??

[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/01052011153.png[/img]
Here it is sprayed up, but oh no!!!!!

[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/01052011154.png[/img]
The wind caught it and it fell and cracked it a bit. By now, I was so pissed off I didn't care and continued on anyway.

[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/01052011156.png[/img]
Here it is fitted! Yay.

Also, since the sun was in my eyes all day, I fitted this...

[img]http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg52/mobiius/323F/01052011155.png[/img]
The worlds smallest sunstrip! But at least it's still legal as the wiper doesn't encroach on it since it's so small!! lol


So all in all, not a bad day. Coming tomorrow, (I hope) Going to replace the suspension bolt I borrowed from Spanner-It and remove the broken camera, front bumper and fit the newly painted green tow hook.

Can't wait till Tuesday though.

Can i ask why you took the rear reflector apart to paint it

Gonna look lovely when its all done

I took it apart cos I didn't want to have to mask off the top and bottom bits. Guess I'll have to mask it up tomorrow when I spray the one on the car.

Never mind
Didn't even know they came apart

Simple jobs always go wrong But looks good!

Can I ask though, what kind of cameras are you using, and how do you record the feeds from them?

What kind of car mounted camera you mean?

I bought the DogCam Rear View Camera from http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/reversing-camera.htm
It cost £45 and is awesome for what it does. Waterproof, night vision (To an extent) and most importantly, cheap!!!

As for recording, I bought the Mini DVR1, which cost me £99, but I cant find on their website any more. The closest I could find is the Mini DVR 3, which costs £199.95 and comes with two cameras, whilst my own only came with the mini button camera, not the bullet camera.
http://www.dogcamsport.co.uk/minidvr3-b ... amera.html


I do however need to buy another two cameras, as the front one is broken, and I want a rear one as well. (I also want a DVR recorder with 2 video inputs for track days, but it costs a whole bunch of money. )

looking good phil
did you not fancy doing the high level and reflector in green

Car mounted ones yeah Cameras seem to be the cheap bit, the DVR is always killer

[quote="col"]did you not fancy doing the high level and reflector in green[/quote]
I thought about it, and decided it wouldn't match my plans and would be a bit too much with the other green I'm having done.

[quote="Sloth"]Car mounted ones yeah Cameras seem to be the cheap bit, the DVR is always killer [/quote]
Then Id recommend the DVR 3, it comes with a bullet camera, a spy camera thing, (Like what I'll have to use at Japfest now) and the recorder.
The bullet cam can be mounted anywhere, but I'm not sure if it's waterproof? I'd say it was but I don't know.

Well i went to the body shop today and here is what i saw

Forgot to mention it looks like your rear near side door is going to have to be replaced as it looks like it has been filled with body filler and then sprayed with emulsion

Thanks for the pics! As for the door, filled, yes. Emulsion, no. Halfords matched spray paint.

Not looking forward to sourcing a new door before they've finished. Got no money.

Its good to see your sorting the wings Phil, good on you mate

It's about time, Can't wait till it's done.

[quote="TheRealMobiius"]It's about time, Can't wait till it's done.[/quote]


Neither can I. Its going to look the nuts

I take it the wheels are being stripped also?
