DodgyRog Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 When Jared was doing a bit of tidy up work he found some moisture creep in the panel to kit join, we think this has caused the re occurring crack in the rear spats, so they have been dried and then fully sealed and re shaped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Did a little bit more polishing tonight, not bad for half an hours worth As it started and about half an hour later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Looking tidy rog. Are you going to share the colour as it's in progress or wait until the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Looking tidy rog. Are you going to share the colour as it's in progress or wait until the end? Colour won't be shown until it is totally finished I am afraid I can't really do it justice by describing it, so it will be staying totally under wraps until I can get some decent pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 They have started on the Engine Bay today, but I am going down on Saturday to remove the Rad and few other bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Will the bay be the same colour as the car? I know some go for black bays to make the colours pop a little more. You smoothing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You smoothing it? No not bothering with the smoothing, really need to take the engine out to do that Colour is undecided at this point, it is going to be Black first and then I have to make a decision whether to do it the same colour as the bodywork It will probably go the same colour, but black would make it easier if I scratch something while working in the bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah black makes life easier however i personally think painted is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Any idea on how long it will be till it's finished? I have no idea as such I am getting it done at a cheaper than normal price, as he uses my car as a promotional car along with his own Rex The agreement is, it is done between other cars and when time allows, but he is also hoping to do a colour change on his Rex before the Show season, so he wants to get mine sorted, so he can start on the Rex The Rex is being done is this new type of paint as well, different colour version though He has a deadline of end of March Once the Paint work is finished I am getting the new Nano Quartz Protection done as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) Absolutely love the near seamless lines I love the way Jared has managed to get the rear of the Spat and rear Bumper to meet totally flush, it is something I was never happy with, but it was really difficult to get it like that Anyway, been at Dip Demons all day today stripping the Engine bay down and doing a few bits and bobs The Engine bay now looks like this and is just waiting for some prep work before paint. The wiring loom is completely loose, Inlet and Throttle body removed etc, to give some access without removing the block I know it's not as good as removing the engine totally, but I am already spending way more than planned on the exterior. I am have to do the engine bay strip myself to keep the cost down and only get one day every two weeks to do it All the glass was removed yesterday and thankfully no rust has been found anywhere, so that's a big bonus Edited January 24, 2015 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
