Hammer Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Liking the facelift rears mate. Aero is doing fine. I've just done some work to it, cam cover gaskets, spark plugs and leads amongst some other bits. I have a few new things for it but a bit undecided on the finished look I want Want to get it right first time if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted August 4, 2014 Author Share Posted August 4, 2014 Not sure what happened to the pictures in the above post ??? But some pictures of the old girl at the meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 (edited) Nice pics. Jake. Not changed much yet, the lip (had it for 3 years ) and still don't know if I should fit it and if I do leave the ears, cut the ears, paint it or leave it . Changes every week, ideas welcome mate. I now have wheels I have waited forever for and will look the biz. when I put them on just sorting a few bits on them first. Fitted rear speakers and new head unit and also dial rings lately and I really like them, got the rings from Noz, top service. A couple of quick pics for you, taking the top off the engine is really time consuming but I'm glad I finally sorted it: And one from the old days, rainy/ waspy pod: Hope it's ok putting them up here mate, if not let me know and I'll take them down, no probs.

Timlowthian Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Great Progress Jake! Never going to park near you at shows again once your done. Did you sort your arches being rolled? If so what sort of price is it? Just purchased some new wheels with 10j rears so I'm thinking of getting mine done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially once re sprayed next year all being well. I didn't still talking to my local arch enemy guys, its been a nightmare trying to get a date as the local guy left the country and they have been training a new bloke.

Timlowthian Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 That is annoying then. I really want it done but have actually been thinking about just having the lip cut off as it may stop paint coming off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an option but stops you from ever having the arch pulled/flaired if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timlowthian Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hmmm havent thought about that not sure id ever want that though. Are your rears 10j? If so what tyre size you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hmmm havent thought about that not sure id ever want that though. Are your rears 10j? If so what tyre size you running? Yep 10j, depends on the offset though as to if you need a roll or not. Yep mine are 10j running a 275 on the back, they fit perfect imo no stretch, perfectly flush with the arch, thinking about upping to a 285 in the future depending on the arch rolling situation. What wheels did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timlowthian Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was looking at a 275 or 285 tyre. I found a set of rays evolution 4's in a 9j front and 10j rear for a bargian price. The rears have an offset of 41 what are your rears? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 Problem number 1, l cant get my rubber washer thing out of the rocker cover so guess I need a new one as I can work out how to get it out as it seems a bit firm.

Dazzi Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Good job! Forgive me if this has already been covered but did you use any kind of special paint for the intake like high temp or is it just regular paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
