Removed the antenna this evening. It was annoying me. The motor is broken and i'm not a big fan of the look of antennas anyways. Antenna now sits just inside the rear quarter and it doesn't seems to have affected radio reception. You can see up close here why i want the respray too.

coilovers should finally be in this week too.
Where'd you get the plates dude? Looking well. Haven't seen it around Killarney yet unfortunately.
Got the plates from japman (Aidan O'Flynn) on here. 40 bucks for the pair. He's in Killorglin actually. I'm living in Ballincollig so not around kerry much in this. we usually take the oil burner (520d) if we're travelling out of Cork.
hmmm, not sure how those wheels are gona look on it tbh, but good work on the other bits! those coilys are supposed to be really nice
Nice car man best of luck with it.
They'll be different. The way i see it, i'll try them and if they're not like i imagined, i'll just sell them. The wheels are as good as brand new. If i do change i can see myself going for 15s or 16s in something 90s.Quote:

@daz12 - I got really lucky on donedeal man. They're brand new, never fitted.
@Spartacus - that's nice, but I'm going a bit more stock, keeping all the OEM amber bits and not changing the kit. Also the wheels are gonna be slightly smaller.
Isn't that PS13 pictured above just got the OEM kit on it with a slight roll on the fenders? Aftermarket grill alright.
Yeah sorry I should have specified. I've got the bog standard kit, no skirts and less low bumpers. Not sure what the naming to differenciate is. See OP for pics.Quote:

So the wipers on s-bodies get pretty shit looking as the years go by. I decided to attack mine with some rattle cans. While i was at it, i took off all the scuttle panels and did them too. Satin black ftw.

I couldn't get the offside wiper off as the splines had seized. Eventually i ordered a little puller device off ebay and got it off.

Not as exciting as a lot of the builds out there, but seeing as I'm not able to rebuild an engine or weld a cage it'll have to do :p
Lookin good did ya just use standard primer an paint from the motor factors
Halfords grey primer and satin black. All parts sanded and wiped with prep wipes before primer. Apart from a few man hours, you're talking a cost of about 30 quid...
Looks well mate, it's the little things that make a car awesome
that is one cool daily!
Couple more pics :)
Me out on track in Mondello at the last justjap day

looking good gets those wheels on im mad to see
Wheels finally on!
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...a03e8b5ff20735
Gonna lower it more on Sunday. Rear centre caps aren't on because the nuts are too big. Might put spacers on. Will see when it's lower.
to be honest man i think u could get better wheels to suit the car , thats just my opinion :/ but i dont really like them at all on it they do nothin for it . xd9s or concaved csts would look class
Yeah man no worries. I like 'em so I'm happy :) Appreciate the honesty though :pQuote:
