some painting...that car will be even too good to drive on the road when finished
like everyone else said..your insane ripping that car apart, but its looking like it will turn out savage..best of luck
just a small update got a new engine hoist there today so hoping both engines will be out by the wk end , spend most of the day today getting the front lined up and trying to get the gaps good ended up having to cut a re fiberglass the p/s wing cause just wasnt fitting good at all everything is fitting good now so hopefully after its painted it ll go back the same but never no with poxy fiberglass

got the wings dolphin glazed and blocked so should get rid of any ripples and low spots

cant wait to see the result, loved the car as it was
well got a bit more work done there few pics:
engine bay etch primered then filler primered
http://i56.tinypic.com/29ehia.jpg
i got the whole underneath of the car done to with 2 coats of sholts i then laquered( before laquer in the pic there) over it for a bit of added protection sometimes water can get under it and make it bubble up so hopefully this will stop any of that crap
http://i54.tinypic.com/258uy4n.jpg
came over saturday mornin and rubbed down the engine bay for paint i had wanted to paint it in the spray booth but with no subrame or wheels i decided to just paint it out in the shed cause need to get this done in 3 wks really came out nice anyway so all good, first i put down a silver base coat i really should been using gold to bring out the purple in the candy but i didnt have enough:eek:
http://i55.tinypic.com/2vxq42f.jpg
then on with the candy real pain in the hole to paint an engine bay in it cause its so transparent and then tryin to get the gun in tight spaces but came out really nice put a blue micro flake in with it cant really see it in the pics have a heap of stickers lyin round so i just through one on when it was in base coat and then laquered over it.
the camera didnt pick up the color great its alot brighter in person

i have more pictures here but tinypics not workin all of a sudden so ill throw them up tomorrow just started re wiring the car tryin to tidy and hide as much as i can, problem is there s not many places to hide the fuse boxes and that so just have to do the best i can without taking ages wanna have the engine back in by the end of the week and back rolling hopefully everything will work as planned:rolleyes:
Savage build if the last one is anything to go by this one will be unreal
got rid of the clutch loop pics shit sorry
http://i56.tinypic.com/29vnsap.jpg
http://i52.tinypic.com/2mzl3yp.jpg
down to the wiring , f**k me wish i didn't start with the wiring i was gonna put all the fuse boxes everything inside the car under the dash but when i had a good look realised i would basically have to pull the loom to pieces and would probably take a couple of weeks to do right, so i decided to tuck the fuse boxes under the car its still allot of work but its the handiest way to tidy up the bay, here couple of pictures from Monday i should be ready to put the engine back in either tm or friday if all goes well so ill have more pictures then
3 hours worth of soldering depressing:(
http://i56.tinypic.com/6qva4z.jpg
the smaller fuse box mounted have all the conectors sealed with double bubble (stop water getting in and corroding them) and well insulated so should be fine here
http://i52.tinypic.com/se3qex.jpg
http://i56.tinypic.com/14cqzr9.jpg
the cars just about all wired up now looks nice and tidy compared to before ill get some proper pictures up when i get the engine back in
Patience, you have it. This is going to be so good. Will u spray my car recession price please:)?
good job dude the engine bay looks ace...the wirin is pain in the arse ya dont think it'll take too long until ya start it
i no ive spent a full 2-3 day s already just wiring just hope its all done right done electrnics for a few years so hopefully it is we ll no by the end of the week anyway
[peterT] i could sort something out for you cheap if u want would be a month or 2 before i could do it dow if you were half decent at prep work it would save alot! of money that and the paint are the main big costs in re spraying a car if i got a car in the was prepped and literally just had to be painted i could do it at a reallly good price
I'll buy my kit, Bonnet and get going so, I'm sure gem could give me pointers on prep. I'll be onto you!
You running same wheels again with the 180?
Good work coming along nicely, you not be worried bout water getting into the fusebox?
Best build ive witnessed on any site in a long time, u are so anal its great! I cant wait to see her finished, always loved this car and cream over the wheels.....:)
ye prep isn't that hard its just a pain in the hole haQuote:

put the new bushings in and bought some a/m engine mounts too, there was allot of play in my old one not sure what make the new ones are anyone any ideas there 100 times better than the old ones anyway?
http://i55.tinypic.com/107kyz5.jpg
I've been sorting out all the wiring the past week this is the mess that was under the dash i don't no who was doing this wiring but it was brutal wires everywhere so i ripped out wat i didn't need and re-wired the gauges,turbo timer and wired my boost controller in too, also wired up my radio
before:
http://i55.tinypic.com/2i8hkiu.jpg
after:
http://i56.tinypic.com/1551gt5.jpg
next was the engine Ive spent nearly a week re wiring the loom and hiding the wire its been a pain in the hole to do i got 90% of it done, then i needed to drop the engine back in to finish off the rest,
bit of a crap pic but engine in:
http://i51.tinypic.com/14t8t2e.jpg
i then started to finish off the wiring hiding as much as i could cutting and leghtning wires and soldering them back together
http://i51.tinypic.com/25yy648.jpg
i eventually got everything wired up was delighted to be finished, went to start it and nothing the power fc wasnt even turing on:eek:head was rect well i spent next few hours checking all my earths etc everything seemed fine bar the engine not starting and the power fc not coming on ha,i checked to see if the ecu was getting power and it was then i got the pin out of the ecu an started going through it my head was melted at this stage i was after re wiring the whole loom so the thoughts of riping it out and starting again was depressing,then i had a little brain fart forgot i was after buying a new alarm the was already fitted in the car the sensor was on the ground so i flashed the key against it and it fired straight up :rolleyes:delighted
http://i54.tinypic.com/n2d3lf.jpg
http://i52.tinypic.com/wmc6lj.jpg
here it is all back in there s a few vacum lines the red ones there i wanna hide and few little wires and that, ill be taking off the rocker cover, and intercooler pipes all the purple parts there to re spray them got some paint matched up for crusie pink/yashio pink was bit dark when i took the pictures of the paint but its a really good match
