On holiday and too much rain =

[crazyshad1]

nice project

[nismo]

Managed to get some paint on it today, 2 coats worth.





Just need to flat it back and then 2 more coats will do.

Finally starting to make some real progress...

looking good

That looks real nice as always. BTW I take it you are doing it in your home garage, how are you dealing with the fumes, and what sort of compressor are you using for the spraying.

cant wait to see the end result

[IKRAM]

Yes I have used silkaflex and about 50 self tappers.

When you used the self tappers, did you remove them after the silkaflex had set and fill the remaining holes?
or have you ground them flat?

i am using a 100 litre compressor and some specialist vapor masks for the fumes...

I used countersunk self tappers so i could leave them in position and fill over the top..

Some more progress,

Whilst waiting for the paint to harden off I decided to fit the new turbo, Gt3076. After having it powdercoated..



Also I have started on the rear bumper, have removed the fog light and smoothed in the number plate surround,



Here's the final pic off where I am up to at the moment, just started flattening the paint with 1500 wet and dry.

Lovely

Loving the blended rear plate surround, if i ever made a custom bumper for myself, it'd have the fog light and reflector flush aswell, hate the black surround, makes the bumper look

Looking good After you have flatted it back I would leave it a couple days. The paint will still be soft and flatting it back allows it to dry quicker - but you probably already knew that

Thanks for that

That is awesome. Might I suggest a nice addon, it's expensive but I think it would look just right in your bay:

They also make an SS washer tank, but the "aussie" one is also nice (and cheaper).

[nismo]

Looks good, but I like to be able to see the fluid level without taking the lid off, way to lazy for that.

Some more pics off the front and rear bumpers nearing completion..



and a pic off the modified side skirts 'kicked' out at the ends to acomidate the modified wings and rear quarters.

[nismo]

Started test fitting rear splitter from SRB. Had to cut it in to three sections due to the flaring out off the rear quarters. Starting to whish i had not flared them out and just bonded them straight on, as I would have had this finished long ago. But its done now.

[avinall]

Looking good mate! I'd like to see how your rear bumper turns out I'v never seen one done like that before, and I have to say the engine bay looks spanking! Hope mine will look as good one day lol!

[nismo]

Here's a pic off the rear end nearing completion, well chuffed with the rear bumper. Rear splitter needs a bit of adjusting but its finally getting somewhere.

[Davey3legs]

Now /\ /\ /\ thats what the standard 14a bumper should have looked like from the factory.
