[Turner]

[Timmsy]

foookin amazing!!! i really must find myself a 172 rear bumper.

was it hard to fit? and do i need the arch liners to?

 

[f0xy]

cheers for the comments about the work so far people!

g_timms21 - easy to fit and its better if you have the 172 arch liners, but with mine that low, i dont run any at all

 

[kiza1986]

How much were the custom springs and where from mate?

 

[-KarL-]

nice!

and no archliners all the way!

 

[f0xy]

How much were the custom springs and where from mate?

ended up getting them made by a guy who does truck springs and stuff local to me, did them in his spare time for a challenge, ended up with a few sets, the others being useless........didnt cost me much only give him a bit of cash for his time

 

[n0rm]

awesome car jord, as many have already said, one off my favorite cars on the club, excellent work mate

roll on the engine transplant

 

[J0sh]

How hard was it to c/c the door strips and handles? I need to do mine but been told it'll just end up flaking. Has put me off doing it.

 

[f0xy]

as long as its properly prepared the paint should stick, i could never get the laquering right, so i ended up putting up with it, didnt bother me really.......ended up eventually getting them professionally done

 

[J0sh]

How much did that cost? Been putting it off long enough, needs doing.

 

[Skinny]

looking nice, if u dont mind me asking, you insured all the mods youve done to the car? Does it ever anoy you only having two seats?

 

[f0xy]

yep fully insured and nope dont have to ferry people around

 

[Greeny.]

Good thread mate, but nose down is where its at!

 

[MT AUDIO]

looks good jord,are your handles perfectly smooth or do they have the orange peel effect to them as im finding it difficult to get them smooth

 

[f0xy]

had them done by a bodyshop, perfect finish thank god coz i could never do handles lol

it could be the type of laquer maybe, im not sure

 

[Ollie82.]

Looking forward to razzing around the IOM with you Jord....didn't realise there had been so much work involved with this!

I still think its too bloody low tho...

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

Look very smart that mate, how did u go about painting ur drums they look smart as. cheers

 

[f0xy]

ran them over with a wire brush, then wet and dry paper, then just used hammerite in a spray can

 

[Chris_Cliomk1]

Nice one pal, gna give it a go, cheers again

 

[dutty_112]

[The Seer]

I really fail to see the point in spending money like this on such a boring car.:S

Save your pennies, sell it and start driving something worth it's salt.

 

[dutty_112]

[JD]

I really fail to see the point in spending money like this on such a boring car.:S

Save your pennies, sell it and start driving something worth it's salt.

and spending 2k on insurance, plus lots more on fuel, running costs, up keep etc etc etc isnt a waste of money for a 19yr old?

lol i love the modding vs 2.0l owners debate haha :quiet:

on another note, love it jordan, keep it updated lad

[Dunx90]

[f0xy]

well i went to get a cage modified yesterday in northampton, long long way!...ended up practically making a new cage...

needed to get it out today as im getting it powdercoated, but it was a very very tight fit....5 hours and lots of swearing later, oh and lots of trim out too....

--------------------

Still bolted in, seats + harnesses removed:

after trying loads of manovers, it was too tight of a fit to get out, so started removing trim....

then attempted to remove

finally out 5 hours later...

bit of tidying up with a DIY grinder/sander, lol

more coming soon
