Ok time for a big update bought my kit and overs off newsome on here and have got to work on the car after finally getting her back from mapping, now running a safe 335bhp.
first a few pics of how she'll look




Had to repair the over fenders due to being 2nd hand, one was easy but the other was not so easy. The previous owner had attempted to repair the fender but didn't prep for fibreglassing and as I started to sand it the fibreglass began to lift. Only answer was to remove it all and start again, please note a LARGE portion of the rear part was missing and now has a section from and unknown front bumper in place. These are going to be used as moulds which I am making to make mint copies from.



Really should have took more pics but both are rubbed and completely mint ready for primer but will wait until the rest of the kit is ready.
Also fibreglassed the front bumper due to cracks and fractures again this has now been isopon'd and rubbed, the skirts and rear bumper need minimal work so all should be primed hopefully tomorrow night.


I know the kit needed some work but I do it day to day so was no big deal.

Did some more to the car today, pulled the stickers off her and surprisingly the body is in pretty good shape except the roof and bonnet(bonnet flew up @ some point) and the rust on drivers side arch but this is being cut out for the fenders anyway. Very little paint came off with the stickers thaks god only a bit around doorhandle etc etc.






Test fitted the overs also, unfortunately the one I repaired cracked as it was screwed on, but now its in its position I'll repair it on the car therefore it will be the correct shape it needs to be. Beat out the dented querter panel into rough shape too. Took of the wrecked side skirts and put on the new ones along with the rear bumper to see how all fitted together.







Plans for tomorrow are to attack the front and get all fitting nice, mark the dents the repair and sand her down, hopefully! Myself and stuart are both doing the same work to each others car(he has a onevia drift car getting a respray and overs etc etc) BOTH OF THESE ARE TO BE PAINTED STICKERED AND ON THE TRACK FOR MARCH 5TH.
We're cutting it fine as we still have our normal day 2 day bodywork repairs to do and are doing these at night or if we have a slack hour or 2.
