lucasl Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Thats looking good! Are you planning on smoothing in any of the kit? no smoothing allowed on my kit, I want every panel removable buy nut and bolt so i can replace panels if i damage it on track. Comming along nicely mate. what colour are you going for? is that tow ring not slightly on the illegal side? i was under the impression that you arent allowed anything to stick out past to bumpers due to pedestrian safety? Im keeping it red. Im going to take the body off and take it to the shop to be sprayed up. Yes im affraid i think the tow ring is illegal but if you look at the bumper from the side it doesnt stick out any further from the front, anyway whats the differnce having a tow ball sticking out the rear of the car? as i was told it could be a danger to pedestrians walking past the front of the car.

lucasl Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 update again, finally took the car to the garage to get the rear arches welded up, they did a good job so now i have plenty of room for my new wheels next painting. http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/3750/photo0444jo0.jpg http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/9021/photo0439aa4.jpg http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/2959/photo0441at5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thats going to look stunning mate, I quite like it half red and half white Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasl Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 more update Needed to sort out my wobbly arches so i got some alloy angleline and made a sort of arch support and glued it to the inside of the arch. Its come out pretty good i think, Just the rear arches to do know but its taking ages becasue i only have so many clamps lol. Nearly ready for paint unfortunatly ive run out of money so im gonna try paint it myself. any ideas how i should go about this would be great, im planning making a spray booth out of some clear plastic, ive got a compressor and a spray gun, i was told to use 2 pack high build primer, does that sound right? http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/4480/photo0462kz5.jpg http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8520/photo0459po2.jpg I also made a new stainless backbox from 3" pipe looks pretty cool and makes it much louder. http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/460/photo0463hx7.jpg http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/5061/photo0465ny2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 So you are leaving exposed self tappers and panel gaps? You know you wont pass noise tests at pretty much all UK circuits right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucasl Posted June 27, 2007 Author Share Posted June 27, 2007 Errr will that exahust be anywhere near legal without a rear silencer on it?? I think as long as the cars not over 100db and has cats in its not ilegal. Made a fuel cap for the kit i will eventually get a proper ATL one or something, the original one is still under it. http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/7246/photo0468ot5.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoff Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Wow. The project is coming together brilliantly. It looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 It is a cracking project but i seriously doubt it will be below 100Db though mate. I hope im wrong cos it woudl sound awesome but i wouldnt hang your hopes on it. You will end up getting pulled left right and centre by the coppers.
