here are a few pics so far,

in the pics you can see, the bumpers in primer after being de seamed, the car primed/prepped ready for paint, then the white sealer and the first coats of colour going on, the car has been painted with doors on so they can be opened to give correct colour match and no soft edge lines in the shuts

well got the car back from jakes today looks stunning , cheers jake

going to be taking my time re building her now dont think it will take 3 hours to put back together

 

[Berg]

Awesome mate

And the good news is the bumper was trimmed enough by the looks of it?

 

[chris_200120vt]

not sure tomorrow will tell if i cut the bumper back enough , think the best thing for me to do is just do 2 hours a day on it not going to rush at all which is a first for me

 

[jake]

less is deffo more when your working with fresh chippable paint lol, glad we could be of service, dont forget no waxes etc then once shes built get back down to us and we can finish her off, can even give you a crash course in after care lol

 

[chris_200120vt]

dont worry jake , hope you have some spare paint the door handle with the key barrel needs painting was not done , started last night jjust did the drivers door seal and rear window seal little by little

 

[chris_200120vt]

can even give you a crash course in after care lol

[jake]

[jake]

[chris_200120vt]

nope was just the mech on the handles that where taped up , well its going back together so far , just the interior to put back in and do the intercooler and its back together , and no marks on it either had a dslr lent to me so got some shots but in the garage look abit naff lol

 

[jake]

haha glad its going well, can you smell the paint in that small garage lol

 

[chris_200120vt]

haha glad its going well, can you smell the paint in that small garage lol

oh yeah good think i like the smell of paint ,me and a few mates christened her last night slightly sore head today but all going good , just remembered the other steering wheel came with a standard boss so may try that instead of the quick release one

 

[chris_200120vt]

well all back together now without a single scratch on her

big thanks to everyone that helped out and once again big thanks to jake

 

[jake]

fmic cut out looks inch perfect bud,

just try to keep it clean is with a good wash n wax etc,

do you have a rotary polisher? if so when you come back in, i can go through everything pads n compound wise

 

[chris_200120vt]

yeah i have two different polishers jake will bring them down with me , just gave it a wash in gold class by the water dont half sheet off , intercooler has a finger gap either side now so my guessing was right , also unplugged the n75 for the time begin , i will also bring those window decals with me im sure you will be able to fit them better than me

 

[chris_200120vt]

im now thinking of changing the wheel colour again any ideas what to ??? want to keep it oem+ though
