Really is stunning. What you doing about the inner arches? Bit of satin black or a s**t load of cleaning?

going to paint them satin back, too much overspray to clean up, still got lots to do yet

 

[memsp1]

i got the tailgate fitted up, and the side mouldings on

 

[Daz.]

I love refitting stuff

 

[memsp1]

body is very near finshed, still need to refurb the wheels, pics taken on the phone

 

[VeinAST]

Stunning

 

[Daz.]

You've officially entered my "I like you" list

(I love you list requires a wheel refurb/polished lip and removal of that exhaust for something more standard looking )

 

[steven.m]

Just read the whole thread, immense work. Hero.

 

[subarufreak]

job welldone, car looks sooooooooooooooooooooooo good!!

 

[fUbAr]

Incredible.

 

[Chris205]

awesome work, well done

 

[Triki]

Oh that i like lots !
But i agree with Daz. it needs a standard/standard looking exhaust and a wheel re furb with the polished lip for epicness.

 

[Addicted]

just read through all 13 pages, what an awesome thread!
definitely wish i had the skill/tools/time to do something like this!

 

[Rob]

[tricky nicky]

This is Awsome i WILL have a Williams one day!!

only if someone saves them, unfortunately i'm guessing this will be his one masterpiece

 

[Nashy]

Yeah need to get one sorted in the next year or so!!

 

[memsp1]

thank you guys, i'm all embarassed now
and as for the wheels and tyres, i ordered a set of conti's for it but didn't like the tread pattern so sent them back and i'm getting michelins instead!
i had an hour spare today so took a tyre off and polished a rim to see how it looks, still need to paint the wheels, i just wanted to see how it looked, very subtle, but makes a big difference

Can we have pics close up of the sills? See what epic work you've done? I'm really sad and like looking at 'Before & After' shots.

 

[memsp1]

[ilovewilly]

Hat of to you!

Amazing work.

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

epic! love it how much has it set you back so far then?

 

[twingors]

amazing mate!

 

[memsp1]

started on the wheels today, got a few pictures off the phone again, hope it don't bore you!
started by rubbing the wheels down with an orbital sander using 180 grit

then a few coats of primer

once dried went over the lip with 80 grit to get rid of the kerb marks

then 180 grit with the sander to get rid of the deep scratch's

then 240 grit wet

then 800 grit wet

last bit of wet with 2000 grit

then four stages of polish

2nd stage

3rd stage

and the final stage

now just need to flat the primer with 800 grit base coat and laquar

 

[Daz.]

make sure you get the right gold or it could all go wrong!

 

[Toms_clio]

i would love to be this talented!
i have always wanted to do something like this!
looks really really good !
keep the progress coming

[fUbAr]

Seen so many Williams' with wrong colour wheels... do you know the correct paint code?

 

[Whiteley]

Stunning work, such a transformation from when you started the thread

Nice touch on the Williams ^

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

hat off too you mate very very tidy and good project

 

[memsp1]

thanks guy's, and i think i have the correct colour, i'll find out tomorrow when i paint them

 

[memsp1]

got the base coat on with the rim masked

then the laquer withe the tape removed

then fitted the new michelins and i put bead seal on as the rims are a bit corroded on the lips

and i painted the calipers semi gloss black as the yellow looked pants

 

[Daniel]

If I could, i'd like to make love to you?

 

[Addicted]
