Rob_Mitchell Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thanks guys. Yeah it's been a absolute pain in the backside but with a bit of time and not rushing it's looking better than expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 17, 2015 Author Share Posted October 17, 2015 Productive morning. Dropped the coilovers to make the smoothing of the turret tops easy. Gone perfectly. Next is to get the bay in full thick primer next week and go from there if any more work needs doing before we order the paint up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Gave the bay another once over and a real decent degrease/panel wipe down, before spraying some generous coats of primer. We will leave this a few days now before attending to any imperfections (if any). Hopefully get some colour ordered up by the end of the week.

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Brilliant work there, are you fabricating all the material etc yourself? Majority yes mate. Well my dad is lol.

JasonR24 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Rob this is art. That's all I can say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks guys. I wouldn't go as far as it being art lol but my OCD definitely has the better of me on this build already. It's always nice looking at something and working on something that's clean and dirt free. I think the track days will be a obstacle though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 UK spec front seats. I won't be attempting them though I'll get the trimmers to do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted October 27, 2015 Author Share Posted October 27, 2015 The intake manifold runners have been smoothed, mirror polished and i then sent them to be nickel plated. I got them back from the chromers this morning and i began to do the work i love. Gold plating!!.. on this build im using 18ct pure rose gold. its a bit more expensive compared the 24ct gold but the colour is more subtle and has a almost peachy/ copper look to it. well i got the runners finished and laid it next to the manifold. I think it works nice. hope you guys like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
