Re: TD shed respray and tart up!

Worked my ass off this weekend cos i think my boss is gettin pi**ed off with me havin panels lying about everywhere in the workshop!!

Did the doorshuts in the garage and painted all the little bits and the bumpers boot and bonnet at work, once they've been flatted and buffed they should be glass like cos theirs loads of paint on there!!

Fraid I cant take credit for the paint and asked a mate in work to do it, much more experienced than me and it shows! Ta John!!

This has really skinted me out now! If anyone has a half decent N/S wing that they will post for reasonable money please let me know, both of mine have turned out to be screwed now

Anyways what you think:

Re: TD shed respray and tart up!

Well its been a long time since an update!

Cars painted and on the road! Wooo
I think i was really tryin my bosses patience! Small workshop with bits of my car strewn everywhere.

Also bought and fitted 60mm jamex, the ride is hard but it does handle better. Far better.

Wheels should be painted and fitted by monday, dont know what colour yet but I was thinkin graphite gray.

Painted the body myself and was really pleased, no runs, no dry patches, no popping, quick buff and it was sorted.

Havent taken any good pics yet, when the wheels are on and the car is clean, i'll get some good uns up.

My first Vaux:




Bit of dodgy parking in college:


What you think?
Its been hit and miss with people so far, they dont get the diesel LS modifying thing!

Anyone got a cheap backbox and spoiler?

Re: TD shed respray and tart up!

I love it! If you've not got some decent seats in there, I'd make that the next little modification! You could have the best suspension in the world but it's useless if you slide into the glovebox round every corner.

Looking really good though, I love it!
