my lil 1.2 :)

[Android]

lowering 35mm ftl.

good project though

 

[joshhatton]

what do you suggest then mate ?

 

[Android]

Aw its just personal opinion.
Id suggest a 60mm drop or less tbh.

 

[joshhatton]

i cant go 60 cars going to be basicly fully paked due to job, and riding, will most of the time have 2 people in and 2 bikes also i live in a place where there are allot of bumps

i still think 30 ish

 

[Android]

That will just make it lower hehe /
And go over the bumps. SLOWLLYYYY

 

[joshhatton]

haha well i can alwasy start at 30ish if i dont like them im sure soemone on hear will like them

 

[VeinAST]

[alex-avfc]

Oh yeah, if u get chance could u post a pic up with the lights turned on? Just wondering wether its a decent cheaper alternative to buying a pair of Xenons!! Thanks

 

[joshhatton]

yea mate will get some pics tonight they really do look the part my dad gets them quite cheap own his own car buisness

 

[joshhatton]

Go all the way and get it lowered 90mm mate Does me alright!
Even with a full car it still doesnt rub because the springs are so solid.

 

[alex-avfc]

Those look good actually mate I might opt for sum bulbs like urs, easier than paying a three figure sum for a set of original xenons

 

[traffmeister]

[joshhatton]

and excuse me looking rough

this was what i spent my day doing....


first poped down to my local store, and picked up my supplies

then got my new toy rigged up with my spray gun

then got my spoiler that was ment to be done, into the primer position

ooooo and cant forget safty procautions

once the primer was done, i decided to heat the room and spoiler a bit so would dry faster

and then got going with the spraying , not finshed yet, as have to leave it over night to dry next bit of paint tomo

 

[joshhatton]

well today i started to get on with the side strips so decided to just go for it really.


starting with......

of the car

primer on

masked up the 16v badges, trying to keep the chrome.

finshed that....

primer finshed

just a random

and sprayed, went really well....

 

[R1XPH]

Lookin good!

 

[mradam87]

F*ck me you did an ace job on the side stripes!

 

[Alexander]

F*ck me you did an ace job on the side stripes!

[joshhatton]

[Pettsi]

Very nice, its looking pretty damn good!!!

 

[VeinAST]

Indeed v professional with that spray gun!!

 

[joshhatton]

cheers, it comes out amazing, used to use cans but his is a different world paint is a lil more expensive but worth it

 

[Reyes]

Nice car, nice thread

 

[joshhatton]

thank you will be more on tonight

plannin to put my new speakers in the back, spoiler on if the painting goes rite,...

also planning to get the bumpers of tonight and maybe put the springs on in teh next few days

 

[VeinAST]

V good progress. I still use the rattle cans, can't afford this high tech equipment

How did you sand down the sidestrips? I spent hours on them taking the orange peel effect off...

 

[joshhatton]

they still have a tiny bit of orange peel on them but planning to change them this was a test, use 5 lots of sand paper and green stuff, with a maching, also with a bit of sand blast

 

[Willy]

Really? still looks like a cracking job mate.

The PS2 install looks pretty swish, much trouble?

 

[joshhatton]

its really once you get a very bright light to it, i was planning to have the bumpy effect on it, (i quite liked it) but turned out better not,

just finshed my mates smoothed his rite down,



i started with them off the car,
sand blasted them, took some off, smoothed it with some wet and dry and teh used green abrasive stuff toge t the rest of with a machine, really smooth!!!! took about hour to get it perfect.

step 2

drying them off with air gun. and then using plastic primer, clear primer , then use high build grey primer filling the gaps/ as you can see in the pics of the badges and stuff...

step 3 after drying with hot air gun, baking, all of that mixing paint half paint half thinners.

step 4 hanging them up, and spraying used about 3 4 coats, of silver, then 3 coats of shinny laquor,

turned out really good


thats is basicaly a short quick version of what i did


sorry about bad spelling and text and stuff at work under eye of boss
