hodge Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 hows the work going John? cant wait to see it. How's it coming along mr hodge I'm off to the bodyshop for a peak after work tonight funny enough. I called over Tuesday but they had shut up shop by the time I got there. Hopefully all being well the car should be in primer. I'm banking on getting her back sometime next week I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazil Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I like the stock electric Ariel bud. Once it's back from paint there will be some very very long shifts put in to get her back together that's for sure. In my opinion the stock eletric ariel is very out dated..! A stubby ariel would look 10x better..! looking forwards to seeing you car out of the bodyshop..! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 stock ariel rocks imo, not a fan of stubby ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 Well the car isn't in primer just yet. The doors, wings and roof are though but need flatting back. TRD spoiler ends have had the primer removed to be redone as have the timing covers. The rear bumper is now all sorted as it was slightly out on the passenger side under the light. Front and rear screen are out and tailgate is off. Hes told me I should have the car back all done by next weekend all being well. I've taken a few pics but nothing special. I'll upload them later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 oh well mate, be ready when its ready, they seem a real decent bodyshop. timing belt covers bubble up? No mate. The paint that was on them was shite, especially the front cover. He started to flatten it down to paint it again and theres was so much paint in the recesses the water got under the paint and lifted it all straight off. Im in no hurry really. Ive taken the week off work before Suprapod to see if I can get her ready and put some miles on so I know its all good to drive down. I really dont want her to miss another 1.

The bodywork has taken longer than expected cos Everytime I call over the bodyshop I give him something else to do on the car. Fingers crossed all will be finished for Saturday.

I've seen the doors and wings etc already painted and there far from a dull colour. Once they've been machine polished on the car it's going to look awesome. I am pretty excited that's for certain but I've got a massive push if I'm going to get it ready for Suprapod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Dull was probably the wrong word but i read some where on supraforums think it was on a for sale thread saying that they didnt use laquer or much of it when they left the factory (white only) if this is the case the colour will look much better repainted using proper amounts of laquer etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 Some more body shop pics. Things are looking good for getting the car back Saturday. The whole car is in primer, and flattened back. It's going into paint tonight. Front bumper is all painted but this pic doesn't do it justice at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
