My s14a re-build project

[Sideways Simon....]

, the rocker cover was getting a bit grubby so decided to re-spray it....

This is it off, as you can see its seen better days!!!





Next i got the grinder out and took off the nissan bit and other bit of writing, smoothed it all down, gave it a good clean and sanding to smooth it all out ready for paint



so next up was 3-4 coats of high temperature primer, and then a few coats of blue






i masked it all up then , and covered the bigger bits with newspaper





next sprayed these areas with white paint and then removed all the masking tape/paper and gave it 3 caots of petrol & oil resistant lacquer

And the un fitted finished rocker cover...


and fitted

Okay, finally after a year of looking at it i got my bumper fixed:wack:, and also slightly customised, before the front of the bumper used to come to a point, i wanted this rounded and also got the hole for the i/c made bigger.......


have loads of pics here of it, oh ya also got the bonnet debadged and sprayed as it had a lot of stone chips and the previous owner had stuck down the nissan badge with what looked like super glue. and finally got the holes in the bootlid welded and sprayed also


This was it before any work was done....






Bonnet badge holes welded




bootlid holes welded












The previous owner had this big ball of filler on the back of the bumper!!!


















In hibernation:wack:
