valy Posted April 8, 2017 Author Posted April 8, 2017 I feel your pain bud! Fronts looking seamless and sweat! Are you leaving the front rivets exposed near the lights? yes,the plan is to leave those front two rivets exposed and there will also be 2 at the back exposed,think it will still have that rocket bunny feel especially with some nice titanium bolts Quote
evilscorp Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Where do you plan to buy the bolts? Been looking and pro bolt cost an arm and a leg! Quote
valy Posted April 8, 2017 Author Posted April 8, 2017 most likely them but because I will only need about 10 should be sort of ok.... Quote

valy Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 quick update,finished filling and blending the kit in,washed the car yesterday and took it to my work place garage ready for Monday bank holiday spraying with my Autoflex...boy I was happy I am nearly there... ...phone rings this morning only to find out the thieves were in and have stolen most of our power tools,spanners etc...including my spraying compressor,gun and so on.... first question was did they touch the car?.... .... Thanks God the answer was no the car is ok... Just coming to terms with all...run the cctv's unfortunately the recording is not great so struggle to see their number plate .... absolutely disgraceful... contacted the police straight away and then went to bring my car home as it is and will think what I am going to do over the next days as that place is compromised .... mood ATM not great...

Dean.B Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 I'm glad that you have finished blending the kit in 🖒 That is sh*t news about the workshop mate. Scumbags I hope they manage to find them somehow. It's a shame it puts your car behind now to when you are ready for paint. 1 Quote
evilscorp Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 At least all your hard work wasn't ruined, tools can be replaced, time can't. Hope they get them and you get your stuff back, can you borrow a compressor and gun from anyone? Did they take the paint? 1 Quote

Hope they get them and you get your stuff back, can you borrow a compressor and gun from anyone? Did they take the paint? Yes,glad they didn't touch the car and the paint was still here will probably speak to a friend that used to have a spray booth to see what tools he has left... Quote
valy Posted April 17, 2017 Author Posted April 17, 2017 ok past the negative things,I have brought the car back home where is more safe and it was looking like this and I hate that multitude of colours on it and since I am not decided what next,when I can do my Autoflex paint ,it crossed my mind to give it a quick twist and give it a graffiti coat with ARTFX purple matte just in time for Japfest and later will continue my work on it my aim is for the car to look half decent for the first show will have to get the rest of the bits added ,like front splitter,side steps,rear diffuser etc and that should tidy it up nicely 7 Quote
Dean.B Posted April 17, 2017 Posted April 17, 2017 Well I think that looks awesome mate great work. And much better than the multi colour haha 1 Quote
