    Stripping down the coil overs for a bit of paint sadly im still struggling with one, left it to soak over night. Thats the only problem with second hand shit I suppose.

    Finally painted the inner part of the wings black. Also still not managed to move the one strut so said balls to it and painted it for now till I can find parts for it and cut it off. Unless it happens to be at the right position but doubt that!

    Was a little Por left from the struts so decided paint the rear calipers

    Excuse the photos, the 10 inch gap makes it a little difficult to aim the camera, looks a better when you actually lie underneath.

    Ah maybe you should have another update then....

    This picture my sister took expresses my mood at the moment a bit pissed of not really had much progress
    [​IMG]


    Painted the front wings
    [​IMG]


    Did manage to put the rear brakes on at some point last week but never put a picture up so here it is
    [​IMG]


    Put away for the night

    Battleship grey anyone? Just some more primer, this is supposed to be super high build as the white didnt seem to fill the little pin holes, and yes the arse still needs dropping before anyone says. Thought I had gone enough but obviously not.

    Don't worry about the height of the ass end untill you put everything back on......... BUT, in saying that, the front end could already be in trouble with some weight.


    I can't help thinking about how many nuts/bolts/screws that go into our cars and how the hell did you sort them when pulling it apart ?........ or didn't you :lol

    yeh looks like the front is going to be rubbing when you put the motor in, while the rear could use a bit more low

    Should really update you guys with the current progress. Didnt realism how far behind this thread is.

    Bit of Black primer and a few hours spent to get it rubbed down

    Then to try this.... :D A little fettling to be done with the paint tomorrow, Toyota 168 is not a dark as I hoped soon sort that and try again.

    So today I primed the sunroof and a few bits of body kit while I contemplated the colour, its now got 1/2 litre of black in to darken. Happier with it now would have perhaps liked a bit darker
    [​IMG]


    Metallic Grey is a bit more like it
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]


    Then I got pissed off after one of the front wings reacted for some reason. :( So means have spent the rest of the day rubbing that back and re priming it no photos of this due to the disappointment in myself.



    Thats about the most if it between running around after combines balers and tractors I have managed to do ....... bugger all really. I did get a little piece in the post so spent a little time polishing that. Also manufactured some more plates to bolt the bumpers on, after mine disintegrated on removal last year.
    Just an excuse to post more pictures.
