Cracked on changing the frontend and putting the boot on (still havnt glued the window in yet still need to pick the glue up. Panel gaps need sorting aswell but its comming together and should looks great.

Its getting there mate the wings i bought from you fit well (only held on by 1 screw in the pic)

HellaFlush · 25-09-2008, 23:49

Bonnet looks awesome fella.. Love carbon on darker cars

spin-king · 25-09-2008, 23:53

Yer loving the carbon look with the grey.

Need to get it lower alittle lower than yours

spin-king · 28-09-2008, 20:38

Fitted the eblow in the front room which the wife loved LOL.

Its all ready to go on monday now.

Its even fitted the right way this time LOL

Papercutout · 28-09-2008, 20:44

Wooo, good man!

Saw that comment about it mounted the other way, but no photo was appearing for me so I just sat here and chuckled

Nice to see works going well on the car. And the new front is awesome - I love Sil80 looking cars! As soon as its back together, running, and set up, get it drifting! This spends more time off the road than on, and you're damned well going to need the seat time!
I've finally fitted myself a harness and bolted my seat properly too, should possibly help a little! (trying to pad the seat out too, I'm just too damned skinny!)

spin-king · 29-09-2008, 08:07

Yeah i had put the elbow on and my mate Oscar noticed and said so i deleted the pic

Not verygood at fixing cars but i am trying LOL

Should be running again today once the arms have all been setup right i'll tax it and come back down the pod

spin-king · 29-09-2008, 14:23

Managed to get the manifold back on its a job i hope i dont have to do again its a pain in the rearend.

Its now running tub manifold and db power elbow not sure what power gains that will give me.

Also going to make a start on the rusty bits before the sil80 frontend goes on propley.

spin-king · 29-09-2008, 19:48

Got the car started its smoking alittle which it wasnt doing before i took the tubby off.

Also started on the conversion and fitted the bodykit needs work doing to fit right (dont they all)

But i am impressed how the cars starting to take shape lights should be on Tuesday and the window in the carbon boot.

Seano · 29-09-2008, 21:04

Zip ties my son.. thats all I need to say.

spin-king · 29-09-2008, 21:18

HellaFlush · 29-09-2008, 22:02

Cheers Paul.

Was going to spray it black but will keep it the same colour apart from the carbon.

Hoping it stops raining so i can finish the frontend today.

spin-king · 30-09-2008, 13:34

More work done.

Bonnet grill and lights on and screen in the back.

Need to put the bumper lights in which i will do later on.

The panel gaps are terrible at the moment but once it goes for paint that will be sorted.

Can close the bonnet proply so will take the catch off and just use the pins.

Its getting there.

xborninthefightx · 30-09-2008, 13:59

that looks really good man. How did you get the rear bumper to fit so well.

Fitted a large bracket below the number plate and got it as high up as i could.

Little update.
My disks are off being drilled for 4 stud ready for the skyline calipers to go on the rear so started mounting the hand brake.

And got the lights sorted need bulbs for the sidlights which i'll pick up soon.

Also sorted the driftworks bottom arms out and played about with lenghts
and camber settings

Only problem i have is there is a leak from the manifold didnt see any cracks so think its my dodgy spanner work so will sort that out when i next get a day off which is about 12 days Away LOL.

spin-king · 04-10-2008, 19:41

Finished work at 6 (working stupid amount of hours at the moment) so had a hours light managed to fit the clear bumper lights and also took the bonnet catch off so the bonnet sits much better need to sort the wings and tighten the bumper up.

PICS CRAP AS I WAS COLD AND WET AND COULDNT STOP SHIVERING LOL

Also started taking the rearsubframe off which is going to a mates to be powder coated green and have the solid driftworks bushes put in.

ady_mi16 · 04-10-2008, 21:21

looks great

s12 silvia · 05-10-2008, 14:12

thats realy starting to look rude now and i even like it not painted so it should be very nice done.

spin-king · 05-10-2008, 21:13

Yeah i kind of like it unpainted LOL.

Glued the window in tonight and manage to get the subframe ready to drop.

Also picked up my disks which have been redrilled to 4 stud.

Going to get them on with these calipers.
