respray an modding thread nearly done

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

Looking good! Do you have solenoids for your back doors then or do you just open them from the inside?

Like the no handles look! Think it looks really good but takes balls to do.

[Icecavern]

Nice work mate... I still need to sort out my list for the Cordy so you can do me a quote for the respray.

 

[crezz]

looking proper sex mate

 

[jake]

well,

all the coilovers are on, just need to set the ride height. got my wheels back from the tyre man. fitted the new discs n pads, and got the exhaust on, but need to get the pipe bent a little on that,

pics :laugh:

how do you guys suggest to wind the coilovers down????

and where can i get longer drop links from too???

[DaNnY_LaD]

jake are you a pro sprayer?


fancy painting my wheels gloss black..

 

[jake]

yup im a 'pro' hahaha

tbh i'd use a wheel furb gut, they can do it alot better( have the propper tools) and at good cost

your looking at £40-£50 a wheel, but they come out to you, we use a really good guy

jake

lower the back until it stops as the rear doesnt go down 'that' far, then lower the front to match, dubs should be low low low,

i take it you need longer drop links for the front as you are close to the drive shaft with the arb? you can either get a neuspeed arb which is bent to clear this or measure yours and i will have a look when i get to work tomorrow to see what fits.

 

[Aimez]

wow this is the most amazing amount of work! You must be minted to have bought all them parts I'm so jealous!

 

[jake]

i'll measure up rick, tbh id rather the droplinks as there the cheaper option as funds are running low lol

 

[jake]

guna start my fmic today at dinner

 

[jake]

templetes have been sent away to the pipe bending guy, for the fmic, so i decided to tackle the decat, old one is off and the new one with new gasket is almost on,

jake

 

[jake]

Just finished a long night of car mods, the full decat is on along with the lambda spacer, then i put the rear stright through pipe and exhaust tip on,

fmic is pretty much plumbed in, i need to get some more hose clips and do a few minor adjustments to get it sitting perfect, also had enough pipe left to relocate the airfilter to the bumper, cai style.

and thats about it, piccies

Should sound fit with that decat! Looks nice - not too ott at all.

 

[jake]

fmic piping my way

 

[ChrisCurzon]

looks good that fmic piping is interesting way of doing it.

was the respray done by your self?

 

[jake]

yeap. every bit of the car has been done by me, bar removing the metal door cars, and i had a little help on the coilovers lol
