Right finally got my finger out and started doing some work on the car... its off the road for winter now, so going to start getting busy and getting some jobs done on the car ready for some more fun next year!!
First job was cleaning the floor up of the rest of the sound deading.. also done the big slab above the fuel tank! more weight saved!
part of my plan for the winter is to remove the orange from the car, getting bored of it now and its not how i want it to look..
so with that ive wrapped the wing mirrors on carbon vynal.. poor first attempt but i'l re-do them again at some point
also wrapped the dash board ends
Main big spend so far has been the bodywork repairs, the car is now rust free, had the rear arches and the B pillars around the bottom of the doors, looks a million times better now! will also be undersealing it soon!
also been gathering a few parts for the car
New Oil and Filter
Motul 600 Brake Fluid
Bits needed to fit my oil pressure guage
Magnetic Sump Plug
13 Row Mocal Oil Cooler
20mm rear beam spacers
oh yeh... and the best bit! 4 Pot Brembo's!! :grin: will be sending them away for a full rebuild, just not sure what colour to have them powder coated.. maybe thinking anodised purple??
Anyway...This weekends fun and games, fancied shedding more weight from the car and the rear bumper was the candidate for some work,
Started by removing the bumper, and then splitting the inner frame from the bumper skin, also drilled some holes along the bottom of the bumper
Bumper without frame
Frame removed - quite a heavy chunk of plastic this!
Now i was going to use bonnet pins to fix it to the car, but the pins aren't long enough so i cam up with another solution, i cut the inner frame in half..
and the bottom - now in the bin!
reattched the top part of the frame with alot of silicone and then secured with some clamps and left to dry
Thats that for now, the bumper is in the shed drying off, will re fit the bumper tomorrow night and hopefully fingers crossed it'll fix nice and solid!
oh and i also fitted a few cheecky stickers!
