How much you after for your bootlid?

Yeh I've seen them. Will see what I find when I have the money. Thing is im starting a new full time job so won't really have much time for bodywork, but would be nice to have a good gun for when its needed on mine as well as the mini im restoring :)

Ah Yeh I've heard good things about the sata guns. When I start my new job I will either be rebuilding my gti pro, or getting another decent gun. Or maybe both!

Yeh that's all I used at my work. It is good stuff! Quite pricey though! But looks like I will be getting 3m cutting compound and extra fine polish. Just going to have to pay the price for something decent. Out of interest what guns do you use? I had a devilbiss gti pro but I now need a rebuild...

I'm not being lazy. We got a new computer and it won't upload the photos. Update on the car: insurance sorted! Wallet empty. . Tax tomorrow and then im sorted :)

Haha Dan I wasn't going to tell anyone! Cheers nixonbradley, only just noticed your comment. Some of the work im not that happy with but im spraying in a dirty yard with limited tools as opposed to in a booth. Getting some decent polish soon because that's the only thing im annoyed with, after...

I've got rid of that one now. Got a nice black pioneer one which sits better in the dash and looks a lot nicer

I know that sprayshack can do them but not sure how much they charge, but Yeh sure I don't mind doing that mate. Drop me a message

Yeh I'm not going white anymore, I'm going anthracite with wheels and badges

got quite a bit done to the car recently. sidestrips off and rubbed down again as I wasn't happy with them. got a little collection of parts waiting to be painted hopefully tomorrow which include: Front and rear smoothed bumpers (now with exhaust cut out completely smoothed and done)...

whats a different colour then?

haven't uploaded anything on here for a long time! and to be honest not much has really changed with the car. got both front 182 seats fitted which has finished off the interior, bought and sprayed my 182 spoiler which is a huge improvement over the standard. a couple other things are that I...

got a couple pictures from recently. mainly a couple pictures of the new interior fitted in the back :) still haven't painted the bumpers because ive been to busy working etc. but they will be getting done next week! i also lowered the coilovers more and removed the rear adjusters. i bought some...

Yeh I've seen them go from £150 to £250 so if I can get somewhere in the middle when they are returned I will be happy. The more money I can get towards insurance the better! Need to pull my finger out and get the car done!

No I don't want them returned. I do that myself because im a paint sprayer, I just wanted someone to give me a rough price of what I could sell them for once I have refurbed them

Yeh I probably will but I want to do them in a colour most people would be interested in, which I think would be silver anyway. Want a rough price what they will go for refurbed if anyone could give me an idea?

need some help guys. im buying some oz f1's off a mate cheap with the intention to refurb them and sell on for a bit of a profit. in my opinion the best colour would be silver because lots of people want them standard. correct me if you think a different colour (also due to the fact I have half...

yeh im going to paint mine blue with a white 1.2 16v sticker. i just really dont like the style of the covers, probably just me being picky! i was thinking about coloured leads and pipes and decided its really not worth it on a 1.2. all im really worried about is having it nice inside and...

yeh thats the engine i have and i have one of those engine covers, but i need a new one as the clips broke. i was just hoping someone had attepted the 182 cover but i didnt think it would work. the engine just looks rubish with the 1.2 cover on because you can seethe wires at the top and stuff...

also, has anyone every tried fitting a 182 engine cover to a 1.2 engine? I need a new engine cover and was wondering if its possible with a bit of cutting etc?

Not much to update unfortunately. been busy doing other peoples cars and yesterday was my birthday so didn't go down the yard. ive been down today but ive bee spraying my dads car, but while I was waiting for paint to dry I managed to get some of my new interior in. sorry for the rubbish...

thanks for that nice comment mate :) not much has been happening recently as i have been busy doing other things and also did a refurb on my mates wheels. a few pictures to follow though. fitted my rear bumper just to give me some motivation and get it done. also after 2 hours, lots of swearing...

bit of an update today. managed to get my coilovers fitted but they need adjusting. rear needs to drop a bit more and then i will see what its like only rears fitted, not that you can tell because they are still on a high setting fronts fitted picture of the lows! i put the bumper on just...

got my front bumpstrip smoothed and primed yesterday. still needs a couple bits sorting but nearly there :) also look what just arrived! going to pick up a sport interior on saturday, including dash and plastics so i can get rid of my horrible colour dash!

Thanks for that nice comment mate! Yeh I do want it to turn heads but the main reason im doing it is so im happy with hoe it looks and that I know when its finished that I've done everything myself :)

so, a bit of progress done yesterday. got my rear bumper primed, still needs flatting and a bit more shaping to get the rear line and corners right but its getting there! also removed my front bump strip and got rid of the number plate recess. firstly i plastic welded in a piece and the second...

not much of an update but took a couple of pictures while i was down the yard today. my smoothed bumper, still needs a bit more work and then will be getting primed. ive plastic welded it underneath and then fibreglassed with a little skim of filler on top. i know people always say it will crack...

Yeh both those mods will be happening. Just getting the bodywork all sorted while I have the time and then the other mods will happen. Opinion on getting rid of sidestrips??

Right guys I need some help. I'm debating whether to smooth off my sidestrips. Doors and quarter panels need painting anyway due to little dings and scratches. I think it will look really nice smoothed and I know its a lot of work but I really want my car to stand out and prove that even though...

yeh im not going to go overboard. trying to keep it as subtle as i can :) im not sure on the wiper blank. i think it maybe be better in black? opinions? also does anyone else have any ideas on what else to do? still need to colour code the door handles and then its finish smoothing my bumpers...
