Did a bit of work on the bumper i cut a fiberglass strip of an old bumper the bit that is at the bottom of the bumper that goes all around the base and fiberglassed it onto the ps13 front bumper as it was missing also strengthend abit more of the inside, its finished now just have to fill the bumper on the front and smooth it off. Just have to fill the front now and shape it all
Got a Garage Thrash racing 50mm alloy rad, was in good shape just needed a good clean and slight sand. Gave it a quick light sand waiting to get the polishing mops back to put a good shine on it. Nice different between the standard rad and the alloy rad. Fitted to sil80
Small update the auld bodywork is a long process haha heres the front bumper just have to block it down now but have the main shape got now just get all the lines rite, have the wing nearly done just fill a low spot, and started on the back bumper will have more pics later. Have the bumper 80 pecent done now to get it right, happy with the turnout so far just have to blend in the left side and the 2 vertical bits need sanding by hand.
cracking build that bud. like me pitures are better then words i have some smoked bumper lights if your interested lol
Thanks man like the auld pic makes things more intresting!!! Yeah man would be intrested in them was guna get some or fill the bumper holes over!!! Pm me a price for em an a pic!!! sound
Just a quick update!!! Sprayed the boot up orange same as the engine bay as it had bit of surface rust and gunk left from the sound deadaning!! Its going to mostly be covered by carpet but mite as well seen as i went to the effort to paint everything else. Few pics Boot cleaned and sanded down did more after the pic and primed it all but havent pics! Sprayed the boot then, happy enough with the result wont be seen anyway so makes no odds hahaha.
Wanted a set of dc2 sr3 Recaros in black for the sil80 but hard come by but eventually got a set for good money and mint condition, Some bollix to make rails for em and still get em low enough in the car but have em sorted now have the passenger one in and its low enough and dead straight so happy out just to start on the drivers side next, only mocking them up have yet to put the dash interior,alarm,gauges etc in b4 its done!!! few pics
Quick update been doing abit of wiring on the sil80, fitted the remote start alarm and immobilizer into the car works a1 cool bit of kit pulled it outa my rx7 3 years ago and fitted it there. Going wiring the plasma screen gauges in and then throw the dash in will have more pics in next few days!! Have it all hidden and tucked away since pics. few pics
Bit of an update have been putting the interior in and doing all the wiring jobs last week or so heres a few pics. Plasma gauge in its actually quite acurate ive to get a 1k ohm 1/4 watt step up resistor so the rev gauge will work on the screen and also for the remote start to work as it needs a rpm signal. Heres a few pics of the interior think im going to get the back seats reupolstered to match the rest of the black interior, the seats are just thrown in for the pics so not straight or anything but have all the rails fabricated for them.
Well lads started cutting my rear arches for the 50mm rear quarters this eve, first time doing it but took few fotos on how i went about it. Have yet to weld them in but will get that done tomoz if i get time, i took abit more of the arch half way through for peace of mind, rear quarters havent arrived so cant finish the arches till i get them!! Marked the outer arch out roughly cut it more even when i went at it. Marked the lip where the inner and out skin meet to seperate them and cut it out. The 2 skins seperated
Arch Cut out roughly Inner arch grinded down for welding Slots cut out on inner arch to bend up Outer Arch ground down for welding Cut abit more of the outer arch for bit more clearance and peace of mind. Slots bent up nearly ready for tacking together Shape of the new arch Just have to clamp and tack it all togther them weld it all up fully and seal the bare metal and stone chip it etc, will have more updates tomoz hopefully.
hi mate, where did you get the screen/ gauges combo that youve puctured above, looks similar to a HKS camp system. Any links to where you bought this from? Cool project also, wish i had this much space to work in!
Well lads did a bit more work on the arches have passo side nearly done and started on the drivers side have it all coated to prevent rust and metal filler used to seal it up and flush it over. have plenty off room to get my wheel up under the arch so happy out!!! Both skins welded together Metal filler applied
Wheel pushed up into arch Drivers side arch marked out Happy auld arch Arch cut out Inner arch slotted Arch Folded up to new arch
