dude Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just an update, bottom end is all built, just waiting to get the ovesize valves put in the the head now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 This is the dash I am going to have flocked, its pretty perfect, not bulging like some do, this part is going black and the facias in dark grey. Need to get this back in by next week as the roll cage is being made and welded in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 New look front courtesy of Supra Matt who resurected an old Bomex for me!!!! Side skirts repainted and Blitz rear bumper which I'll fit as soon as ive fabbed the parachute bracket:blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 Throttle body adaptor welded on, we are fabbing the NOS mounting today, we have to weld bosses on for the direct port distribution nozzles but they are very tight to the injectors so each one is a custom fit, then its back to the polisher.

dude Posted January 27, 2010 Author Share Posted January 27, 2010 The full race turbo manifold is at CR Turbos to have a custom T6-T4 adaptor made, this way I can switch to a large frame turbo if the car is too slow:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 OK just got the dash and console, what a job he's done!!! I don't know if the effect will come out in the pics but it will look stunning, the dash facia's will be done next week and I'll prob get the door cards etc done to match.

dude Posted January 31, 2010 Author Share Posted January 31, 2010 The strange thing is this stuff seems almost indestructable, the guy has had his cam covers and wheels and archliners done for 12,000 miles and it looks fine, the main problem he is having is getting it off the wheels, it wont come off with an industrial steam cleaner !!!! He has also done his steering wheel and there is no sign of wear, he can fade colurs or mask off and do 2/3/4 tone panels, also custom finishes like his dash which is 1mm black flock with 3mm blue dusted on to give a shimmer effect, heres some pics.

dude Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Dash looks good. Not too sure about those flocked cam covers though That was to show how hard wearing it is!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Where do you get the flocking done? What sort of price we lookin at for a dash? A dash works out about £220 and centre console about £50, but if there are problems down the line the work is gaurunteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
