SUPRALOOPY Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 First of all i'd like to say a big thank you to john d for not chucking this in the bin:) Right this veilside nose was smashed to bits when on jonhs car and he gave it to me cos i said "i can fix that". So hear we go, this nose WILL be on my car and in mint condition by the time i'm finished. i'm only spending a few hours a night so lets see haow long it takes as my car is off the road and summer is comming Here are some pics of progress so far, all reinforced and fibresnotted up, next is get it to a ruff shape and get the final fit on the car and then finish off with filler. So if anyone has any side skirts or rear spats that are damaged and not wanted due to cost of repair please donate them to me:innocent: as i am skint due to just having a baby:d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Probably because hes fitting a new nose cone? But surely the old nose cone is ok untill fitting day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRALOOPY Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 But surely the old nose cone is ok untill fitting day! but you need to offer the nose up and then take it off again to get it just right with even gaps all round and fitting nice and snug under the lights:) and with all after market stuff this will take time.

SUPRALOOPY Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 well i've done most of it but its still not finished. the bumper is in place but not lined up properly,and will not be bolted up until it fits nice and snug,the calipers are done and all the cooler pipework is done. While the bumper was off i tarted up all the rad and hose work behind the bumper. I am well pleased how the bumper repaired:d oh and i've been told if i don't sort the garage out i am a dead man...
