  1. Can't say I'm a fan of the car but that is some awesome teckers with the painting. Are you a painter by trade or is it a hobby. Wish I had the funds and the facilities to have a go at something like that.

     

     

    I'm an av designer by trade this is a new acquired hobby lol I'm no professional but I'm enjoying it I think it's cost about 600 in paint this year to do it all and been working on it in between trips abroad lol

  2. during the spray session the wheels got a bit of over spray so it was time to give them a new lease of life but being wolfrace wheels they are not worth refurbishing professionally so i gave them a quick going over to see what they would look like

    next step was to flat the lacquer and give it a polish this does however show where you didnt put enough lacquer on as im no professional i did cut to far on a few bits and have had to redo some bits but we all have to learn

     

     

  5. so stage one of the new work consisted of stripping the bits i didnt need off the car and then prepping the new bits and the car ready for the transformation to start

  6. ok so as all of you know i did some work on the car last year when i fitted the r34 bodykit as shown in this thread

     

    LINKY

     

    i was not overly happy with it so this year i decided to bring the car back out of storage and give it a new lease of life

     

    this consisted of the following

    New alarm Viper 5904

    New Nismo Bonnet

    New Nismo Bumper

    New Aerokit Rear Spoiler

    New Rear Skirt

    De handle the car

    New Car pc System

    Complete color change

     

    so up until this year the car went from

     

     

    This

    1301084203_resized.jpg

    To this

    ae8c2576.jpg

     

     

    New Images to follow

  7. That's ok mate :) easily done

     

    The kit comes with 10m per cable mine got terminated into a waterproof box at each camera then I ran a 4core vid cable to it and dc cable to them nice simple install :)

  8. I installed CCTV in 2011 due to recent invasion of Pikeys on nearby fields and a sudden increase on smashed wingmirrors and cars etc

     

    i looked at some of the stuff maplins had and at the time there was nothing i liked and due to the length of time abroad i wanted to be able to log on and view the drive way road and property whilst in a foreign country

     

    maplins now sell the system i got which is priced at 299.99

    this unit

     

    it works great i actually installed it on my own using my estate car as the footer for the ladder and adjusted the camera angles using the MObile phone app was very easy to do (saying that i install AV system in buildings so....)

     

    cant recommend this system enough
