Didn't spend half as much time taking pictures as i'd have liked but was simply having too much fun on track and busy chatting to you lovely lot off track. But here is what i did take over the weekend. Thanks to all that made CSF happen, great weekend and can't wait for the next one. CSF 2017...

Really like that. Big fan of the z20let. Had a coupe turbo running approx 300bhp a few years back, they make an incredible noise when de-catted. Would love to see this in the flesh. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Cheers guys. The next plan is to rebuild the engine due to a cylinder head / gasket failure. This was diagnosed prior to CSF but i took a gamble on it not making the entire weekend but the old girl survived the 5 hour drive there, am and pm track sessions and the drive home again. After taking...

They need a few hits of drangons breath but then maybe pointless if they get refurbed anyway. Either way, a bargin set if track wheels Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Cheers bud. I used to do panel beating and paint spraying years ago and still know the owner where i worked which is why i was able to blag a day in the paint room but can only really do it for my own stuff. I can put you in touch with him, he's bloody cheap. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The car originally was just for track use only so running buckets was fine but now i need the car as a daily the buckets i have are no good. Will explore other options in time Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Lets go with White 182 track car Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The harness setup with standard seats had been on my mind. I do run standard belts for road use and harnesses for track, mainly to keep me upright and secure. I will probably end up with some trophy seats or similar Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Kind words mate but your trophy has been a big inspiration. How do i change the title again? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

No its a 182, what did you spot to think its a 172? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

due to the seat strength and structure in an impact? Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

The repaint was intended to be a quick job so there would be many things done differently e.g full glass removal, if i was going all out and doing it properly. But for a quick job that took approx 3 weeks of working odd evenings i really happy with it. Hoping to take and upload some better...

Once i had finished assembling and polishing i drove it back home to finish refitting all the smaller parts and interior Custom carpet, inspired by Rob's stunning supercharged clio Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Evening by evening i put the car back together and start machine polishing it with a 3M 3 stage polishing system Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I left the body and panels to further cure for a few days so in the mean time i cleaned up my turinis Cleaned up the original seats as i no longer wanted the raw buckets seats. I also shaved the suede part of the seat to remove the worn nobbley bits Before: After: And fitted bigger...

As it was a nice sunny day i was able to leave the car in the sun after baking. Thats went i was first able to really appreciated the pure, crisp white paint i picked. I then loaded everything back in the workshop and called it a day. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Also repainted the front grills in a special plastic trim paint which came out far better than i had hoped Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

I took a day off work and got everything painted in one day. Space in the paint room is limited so had to paint the body and panels separately in shifts throughout the day but got all done inside of approx 9 hours Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Thought i'd upload some pictures of the respray journey. I started by doing as much stripping and flatting off at home and then driving it to the bodyshop to finish the prep work. Once at the bodyshop i continued to strip and prep ready for painting I fitted my blue track wheels to...
