Just jumping in.. what’s everyone’s current thoughts on the state of xrp? it’s looking really strong and a big contender to shoot up. Got in relatively late but wondering if to buy some more considering it’s projections

After braving the storm this weekend, managed to pick up a few bits. Firstly R154 Gearbox, Clutch, Prop etc. Believe it's got the drift motion hydraulic release bearing kit so will prob leave that for now to match with the AP Racing twin clutch. Also managed to pick up a 4" ETS FMIC and a set of Black Recaros with Harnesses. Also Also got a few other goodies but will leave those for now until i know what i'm doing with the car further.

Might have to - if i do it again. I think from factory they were done this way? Just need to get myself a decent compressor and airfed set up then it hopefully won't be so bad.

Haven't updated in a while.. Started off rubbing down a few of the misc bits to paint. Halfway through it really now Inbetween that managed to switch over the Auto Dial to Manual which was awesome Managed to pick up a FFIM with 90mm TB which looks to be of decent quality. Still brand new but unused. Then was a trip to London to pick up a bonnet.. It's in pretty good nick, just needs the washer jet holes cutting out and maybe some Aerocatches fitted The car then went off to @TheTurtleshead for a new lower rad support to be Welded in When the car came back i thought it would be a good idea to paint the engine bay so got onto scotching it all up and treating some of the rusty patches and put it into epoxy Sprayed the OEM 202 Black Then the clear went down nicely Untitled ‑ Made with FlexClip.mp4 Until it dried - and i had a bit of a disaster with it. After speaking with a couple of paint experts, we couldn't really work out what was happening, so i rubbed it back ready to shoot another layer of colour and clear again. And....... the same thing happened. We were finally able to conclude that the solvents in the clear were reacting with the solvents in the epoxy. With that being the case i thought the only way round it would be to completely strip it back and start again with different products. So here is where the car currently stands.. Luckily a local bodyshop has offered to spray it for me using their stuff if i prep it for them which is an offer i couldn't really refuse after spending around 30 hours getting it back to this point there's no way i'm risking it again. Hopefully will be painted by the end of the week then fingers crossed off to JJ for some welding on the sills and manual surround. Also off to pick some bits up for it this weekend so watch this space i guess

@blythmrk

TT auto aerotop, full bare metal respray, needs no work at all. Get in and drive. Lovely underneath 37.5k

I’ve just bought the exact one on eBay for £100

Are they the glass headlights? Can i be nosey and ask what you paid for the new headlights? I've got a pair of glass ones sat in a box not knowing what to do with them

Fuel tank now out, no idea how but when removing the fuel tank strap the retaining nut snapped off inside the box section. Had to cut top of the nut off, get a magnet inside to get the nut out but no idea how I’m going to re fix this yet. Possibly a rivnut I guess.. After that got the diff and shafts out. That’s it for this weekend I think. Potentially paint some misc bits but that’s it for now
