Tackleberry's fairlady - Wrapping finished!


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Ok so a lot happening in the next few months. Figured i'd make a start on a build thread.

 

Bit of history. Picked the car up after an 8 hour drive from Aberdeen to Weston Super Mare.

 

This was a few months in.

I decided it would be a good opportunity to get the front debadged.

Few months afterwards i got a hold of some berk decats from Smudge. Then rather than get the rotas refurbed and have to replace the rear tyres i ordered these!

Wasn't fun carting these up the stairs on a top floor flat!

Just a bit wider than before!

 

 

Will be getting this put on and aligned very soon so more picture abuse to follow!

Cheers fellas!

 

Probably wont be anymore visual upgrades until i get it wrapped. Will be a nice wee autumn project for me! Had initially thought of going for a matte military green but now torn between 3m matte white or metallic blue.

Looks very cool B)

 

Ordered a few nismo stickers today and might get the nismo gearknob fitted this weekend.

Looks very B) in the first pic she looks like she's doing 100mph just standing still.

 

Is that aerial next on the list?

 

As it happens....

Now that the new wheels are on i really want some springs or coilies to try to shift some of the space between the wheels and arches which is bugging me a little!

Little update!

 

So I drop the car off tonight for service and MOT and more importantly fitment of Berk decats and hopefully an uprev although I may need a second session for that! Sound clip to follow :teeth:

 

However the car was recently treated to a good going over after a clay and polish. Very pleased as this was my first claying!

Quite possibly! I have been looking at new bumpers specifically the amuse one but then the missus has been looking at new houses too so we'll see what I can sneak by her! She can't see a remap or decats!
