So have spend the last few nites getn the bay ready for painting engine was fairly handy to take out so that didn't take to long
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2d38fac5.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps996e7aec.jpg
After de greasing it and washing it I was actually suprised how cheap it was
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8bbe8470.jpg
But non the less the paint was getn stripped and the fun began
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...psda1d693b.jpg
Had a few small surface rust patches so they were takin care of and treated
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...psbb301d1f.jpg
Now left it like this tonight
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps04e265df.jpg
Small bit more paint to be stripped and just clean it all down and I'm ready for fresh paint must say I'm pritty excited to see the outcome should be pretty cool
While Iv the block out I'm cleaning it all down doing the spigot bearing puting back on clutch and flywheel
Iv finally got my motivation so I hope to have the engine back in by the weekend all going to plan
GOODIES............. ;)
finally got around to collecting my new wheels this weekend once again thanks to dave in Japanese performance for the great service he runs up there
so heres a pic of my new wheels
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...pse810f406.jpg
Even doh these were my second choice and being unsure about them after seeing them in the flesh think they should really work
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3194400e.jpg
also picked up this while I was up there its a dangerous place to be lol
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...psfbce7e42.jpg
Now this ant a bad view to wake up every morning lol
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps1be16690.jpg
now the main progress over the weekend was getting my bay done as we stripped the bay back to bare metal delt with all serface rust ect
began with etch primer and seam sealed it also after the first coat of etch primer went down
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...psfcb1999f.jpg
after that we laid down the primer
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8e5e272f.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3fd66dac.jpg
now after that was done it was time to put down base black it ended up getting 3 coats of base black
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...psba3a6fc1.jpg
now the exciting part the blue sparkle purle was put down and all I wound was jump with joy literally no joke I was jumping around the place lol
no picture will ever do this colour justice
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps23350a47.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...psfaf28bec.jpg
Now after that it was ready for lacquer but heres the interesting part the paint gets better I added this
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...psbd8a3584.jpg
And here is the out come
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps392a014e.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7904e588.jpg
http://i1198.photobucket.com/albums/...ps43cdb458.jpg
Now il say this again no picture will ever do this justice the colour is just amazing and I couldn't be happier with the out come ;) ;) ;)
Now a huge shout out has to go to my good friend Patrick Murray for doing the paint job man is seriously talented
And now the fun begins ;)
Loads of awesomness in this post. love the colour dude.
Looks fucking amazing ,, any chance you can pm me the paint code.
That's only class pal fair play
Sweet great job done,get it back together now and get it out!
i retract what i said about it should stay silver , it will be siick when its finished!
Well damn you ta hell Daren ha Here was me thinking i was gonna be original with a glittery engine bay lol I suppose at least my engine bay is a different colour :P
Cheers lads spent tonight cleaning all the small shit plans have changes slightly I'm thinking of changing my turbo set up but shouldn't delay much as one will find the other
Now the exterior should be interesting still changing ideas daily lol
Get onto liam walsh if ur think selling up that turbo I have him best advised as I can!
On other note think bout gunmetal grey,if go really well with xt7's
It might be sold if not il get on to him the hybrid turbo won't be cheap as ur usual 25 turbo dohQuote:
