Spent today tidying up the interior after the last few drift days as it was bogging and I mounted my oil filter relocator kit properly.

Also fitted the hks hi power exhaust, love the note of it and a good bit quieter than my old one.

Next job is to fit a horn for nct and give the exterior a good cleaning up and get it tested so I can put the coilies back in!!
So quick update on how im getting on, the car failed the nct on a few minor things...for some reason he took a disliking toy front bumper and how it was attacthed with only two cable tiesll
Passed emissions though so thats the main thing..everything else can be sorted handy enough
Because I have to fit the bumper right i've decided i'm gonna remove the kit and repair it and fit different skirts.
New braided driftworks brakelines and a full underseal
By the time im finished the car might be destined for a full respray
Here is where im at now

Bit of an update to whats happening now, since the car failed the nct and I managed to get a lend of a runaround for a couple of months im gonna do a bit of a total overhaul on this.
Plans are:
Rocket Bunny Spoiler
Origin Roof Spoiler
Nismo Bonnet Vent
Fit the driftworks braided lines
Fit the driftworks subframe locking collars
Fit the apexi AFC2
Full underseal
New Skirts
Repair and Refit properly the full kit
And more than likely a full respray (unsure on colour at the minute, thinking white or midnight purple)
I inteneded to underseal the car first but while I was under it I found a couple of little patches of rust that I wasn't happy with and thought I'd get it repaired properly if i'm going to underseal it so the car is over getting them done at the minute. Once it's back I will be going at that and doing it right.
I have never done any bodywork before so I decided i'd give it a go on the bodykit as its mainly cable ties i'm used to working with.
I started off on the rear bumper.
Removing the cable ties:

Putting on a few layers of fibreglass and hardener:

Hardened:

I then started on the 2nd hand skirts I picked up needing work:

I sanded them both down to see what repairs where needed:

At the minute I have both skirts repaired and filled ready for primer I just have no pics of them done.
The front bumper was in a sorry state and needed to be rebuilt so I gave that to a mate who works at fibreglassing to do it for me and try to get it in one piece. Just got it back to me today all done, fully reinforced ready for filler and sanding!
