14/1:
So my sideskirts are finally on their way. But trying to d some other things to keep this moving along...
I degreased the engine today and my god I have never seen so much flith in my life. Good news is I can now see the color of my gearbox isn't black like once thought.
Anyway, my bumper and front lip were pretty ****ed up. Sanded the lip back to plastic and the bumper down to having no scratches or blemishes. Will be bogged and fibreglassed tomorrow, not having a front crashbar all these years has made the top of the bumper sag. So need to stiffen it up a little.
Picked up a Greddy oil filter relocation kit on the cheap and have mounted it where the cruise control used to be. As much as I wanted to keep it. Meh, might try hook it up at a later date. The mounts have been painted black now and I think the whole thing looks ridiculous! Will eventually be braided hoses to and from oil cooler. They are in the back ground.
Where the oil cooler will live from now on. Using the same fan and shroud that was on the old intercooler. Perfect fit!
Had a bit of practice with the paint today and figured out how the car will need to be painted. The car will be this color when its done. Did this by sanding and sandblasting this badboy today.
in Primer
First coat, bitta purple.
Pearl coat, bitta blue/end result!
Pictures don't do justice how amazing this color is! I cant wait.
Oh almost forgot, test fit of my new leather seat covers...need to fill them up with a bit.
