How i brought her
We had a right game with this nut
In fact it took us 1 hour plus to get this nut off :lol:
The coilover
Everyone turned up to watch :roll:
Smiffy avin a brew on the job
The hard work paid off
Then i went onto fit my new bumper as the clips on the grill had broke on the other one and the paint started to crack so i picked this bargin red one up off ebay for £10 After a nice trip upto Runcorn to collect it and a quick sand down n a spot of filling on the stone chips and it was time to fit.
Manged to get the old bumper off
Fitted my splitter back on
Lined the bumper back up ready to fix it on
Ad to leave the grill off as i ran out of time on my breaks at work :lol: and had to drive home minus a grill
Then after i shot blast the wheels myself at work and prepped them ready for me to use the powdercoating faciltes at work :lol:
How the wheels started out
After i had shot blast the old paint off
Mask up of the bolt face
Ready to trim
And trimmed
Ready to have a fresh lick of the finest powder
Let the painting begin
Then time for them to go in the oven and left to bake for 20 mins
Baked at 180 degrees for 20mins
Then the laquer went on (yup it is white but turns clear when baked)
Now time to bake the laquer on
The freshly powdercoated rims have rubber back on and are fitted to the car. I admit when i first fitted them i thought what have i done they look wack. But as time got on they started growing on me. Fink it was jus the big change from white to black :lol:
Then i ordered my bonnet off ebay manged to get a second hand one from somewhere in Rotherham not bad for £50.
Soon as it arrived i final manged to get it in the car to take to work and fit on me lunch.
Bonnet off ready for the new one
And fitted. All though it wasnt easy lining it up on my own but manged to do it after a few hic ups
Now after ordering my new lights yes off ebay again not so cheap but i decent buy at £136 And after a trip to seat to buy a new grill surround and other goodies it was time to change the lights and grill
New and old grill surrounds
About to get the old lights off
Old lights off
And new ones on
And grill fitted
Lights in action
Then a DubbedOut sticker added to finsh the day off with :lol:
Then a couple of days later she went off to my mates unit to be painted
Well my friends got my car back about 8pm saturday nite. After a nightmare 2 days
After a bit of a tweak cuz some bloke told more than a white lie when selling me the car
See what i mean ur not tellin me this is what happens when u hit a large bird unless she is crossing the road to go weight watchers.
Oh well we progressed on.
Knocked the wing in and smoothed it off.
prepped the bumper
Prepped and painted the roof gloss black
After a couple of coats on the front end
Then laquered
Then it looked like this
Gotta go back to the bodyshop tonight to get it mopped as he ran out of time on saturday so will get pics after an upload them when i get chance.
Oh and i fitted the grill in yesterday to.
Thanks for reading everyone
