That would be amazing, thanks mate 👍

Started building the subframe up this afternoon. Rack fitted with powerflex black bushes, new genuine Renault tie rods and Meyle track rod ends. ARB mounted with powerflex black bushes. My uprights and bottom arms are with Frogjam to get the bearings, hubs and bushes pressed in so I should have...

This is a good one I've been watching recently, no voice over (I think they're mainland china based on the number plates) but decent long form videos of some resto work on JDM cars

I like Smith and sniff, and the radiator arms. I've really gone off the chris Harris podcast though. You could turn it into a drinking game listening to a load of boring old Tories blathering on about senna, Luca Di montezemelo and unattainable supercars none of us can relate to.

Just got my bits home from the coaters, really happy with them, went for satin black so they look OEM. They've done the subframe, subframe stiffening brackets, both hubs, bottom arms, gearbox end cover, ARB, ARB outer brackets, ECU mount brackets and a couple of other little bits... I was...

I'd ditch the pattern exhaust and get a fab shop to make something to fit, you can still have something quiet with a couple of decent boxes in it if that's your thing. I've heard nothing but bad things about the Ktec cats too, they're cheap china rubbish that probably won't get you through a...

Had the call today that my parts are ready to collect from powder coating, so I'll go for them tomorrow. In the meantime time I've been doing more bits of plating - ARB brackets, steering rack brackets etc. Decided to give the rack a freshen up too, plated the pipes, stripped the paint off...

I'd be replacing all the bearings and seals while I was in there, same for oil pump, chain etc.. I've got a dial bore gauge and a set of micrometers if you want to measure your crank and bores

I'll jump in on this, anyone using a tag to track their kids? My 10yr old has just started walking home from school alone, we've got life360 on her phone, but I'd like something else like a tag we can stick in her school bag or coat incase her phone dies etc..

Durham vapourblast for vapour blasting and bead blasting small parts, Stella blast are doing the powder coating

Dropped all of the parts I need powder coating off this morning, they reckon they should be able to turn them around in a week which is ideal. Picked up some bits I'd had vapour blasted for plating on the way home, I'd had the guy blast the exhaust manifold too, as it looked a bit scruffy. I...

That looks absolutely s**t, you'd be better off with a car battery and some jump leads (please don't do this either) You want a Mig welder for welding a nut onto a rounded bolt.. where is it on the car? What else have you tried so far?

The shell is really solid, when I removed the rear 1/4 panel trims to look down into the back of the sills there's a little bit of corrosion so I'll do the rear sills before it's painted. Jacking points/axle mounts etc are all good, thankfully

https://www.youtube.com/@Joshwaa___ this lad seems to do fairly decent welding/rust repairs.. 10k to do all of the welding and a full paint isn't unreasonable, assuming it's done to a high standard. If you're looking to spend a lot less then finding someone a bit more pragmatic who will make...

Thanks 👍, I'm surprised you've had a bad experience with powder coating, I've used the same place for mine for almost 20yrs and I've never had a part fail. I do agree you lose the fine detail in some parts with thick powder but going into winter it's too cold for me to spray 2k in the garage now.
