Mugello Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Looks a nice tidy job, what underseal did you use mate? I used hammerite underbody seal with added waxoyl Was easy to get a good finish, and the added waxoyl means water will run off it easier too.

Mugello Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 UPDATE: Cleaned up the tank on the outside, paint the hard pipe black for added protection. Rinsed the inside through with petrol (Inside was clean as a whistle, i was expecting some 'fuel jelly' but nope, none !) http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180088&stc=1&d=1391011029 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180089&stc=1&d=1391011029 More coming soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugello Posted January 30, 2014 Author Share Posted January 30, 2014 UPDATE: This arrived.... I was happy with the quality and adjustments this setup offers. I have previously ran HSD's (Mono's) but decided to run with BC this time around http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180108&stc=1&d=1391104763 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180109&stc=1&d=1391104763 More to come soon!

Mugello Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 (edited) UPDATE: While i was waiting for some bits and pieces to come for the underside of the car, i began working inside. A full clean was in order and it was soon looking smarter I decided to get a new center console and lid from Keron thanks buddy, as my lid had a broken clip/hinge, i also started to tidy the wiring up a bit. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180279&stc=1&d=1391459652 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180280&stc=1&d=1391459652 More to come soon !

Mugello Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 UPDATE: With most of the interior out of the car/not installed, i decided to remove it all and start over. All plastics/trim was removed and clean before being fitted again. And i also cleaned/hoovered/wiped down the chassis before the trim covered it. OCD Clean nut case i know Anyways, some pictures of this process, not the best i must admit. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180634&stc=1&d=1391975471 Battery and fuse box have been relocated to the back But i want the battery to be in the boot, as its not a great fit behind the seat. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180635&stc=1&d=1391975471 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180636&stc=1&d=1391975471 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180637&stc=1&d=1391975471 More to come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugello Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 UPDATE: well, kind of. While cleaning/wiping the chassis over before installing the interior trim again, I came across this http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180709&stc=1&d=1392158259 Gave it a quick look over and all was in order. I also phone them and spoke to one of there engineers to confirm everything. They were very helpful indeed. More to come soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted February 13, 2014 Author Share Posted February 13, 2014 UPDATE: With the inside cleaned up and ready to be re-installed, the parts i was waiting for to run the new custom brake/fuel lines arrived So i began to make up the lines, staring here with the brake lines to the rear. I already had HEL brake hoses (stainless steel) so these were used also. http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180751&stc=1&d=1392317508 Went with black fittings and a stainless steel 'T' piece http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180752&stc=1&d=1392317508 http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180753&stc=1&d=1392317508 More to come soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugello Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) UPDATE: I offered up the brake and fuel lines to the underside, looks a bit messy to was tricky to do it on my own, it got tidied up after http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180873&stc=1&d=1392666084 I also cleaned, inspected, painted, protected, restored the rear subframe. Ready to be fitted. (Adjustable anti roll bar, new drop links etc..... still to come) http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=180874&stc=1&d=1392666084 Notice i cut down the brake shields a little too. I just removed the folded lip on the edge as my new rear brake setup was too big to clear the shields. I didnt want to remove them completely, so i cut them down and sanded the edges More to come soon !!
