Kent Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi Ross :') hi claire On the Bathursts by Ross Mullins, on Flickr They tuck like crazy though The arches have been cut out completely now too, 1.5cm cut out, re-rolled, flared, stone chipped & painted over. Much nicer to drive with, as the noise was doing my head in.. and shredding my tyres The front bumper was done at the same time which was stone-chipped like mad, there were 6 layers of paint on it too however, it's going back in a couple of weeks to be re-done as the colour is ever so slightly out Now to start with re-building plus juggling 15k worth of uni work due for the 9th of May Wish me luck!

davidelliott294 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 do you know what number plate bulbs you bought? can remember seeing a picture earlier on in the thread and thinking wow, they're awesome.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Nah they didn't, not many places did in honesty! I think I'm sending them off to mike the polisher now as he's the only guy who is willing to try my idea haha!And for the numberplate lights, if they're in a photo it's the previous bulbs which are just 'ice white festoons' from HQ lighting. These new ones are crazy bright with them being entire sealed units, still need to grab a photo of these though.

coxBEANS. Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 This carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr looks lovely, looks so cool just on the standard wheels? haha.You at players at the weekend? I wanna see it!Mega paintwork jealously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted June 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Cheers both, I'll be at Players but not on the standards (I hope) I hate them haha! I ran no spacers, they look cool from side photos but silly from the back... Big thanks to Dommmm as we both stayed up till 1am last night & he'd already done an all nighter for uni work the night before, we've got the BBS rebuilt I'm just putting extra coats of sealant on ready for tyres on Friday ready for the drive to players Saturday morn, hopefully they don't leak I'm so happy with them, they were with the painter for about 2 weeks and reacted on the day I was supposed to be collecting them so only got them yesterday afternoon. It's a weird colour, it changes from red, black, bronze & brown depending on the light, but it's a dye rather than a paint.. I think it's sick can't wait to get them on.

Kent Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thanks you two!Didn't really grab many photos as it was all last minute, me and dom stayed up into the early mornings building the wheels up and halving the sealant drying times and keeping our fingers crossed. Managed to sort new stubby valves from mike the polisher who sent them next day for me and the tyres went on friday afternoon, took 2 of them 3 hours to get the rears on with everyone sat on them and me closing my eyes and gritting my teeth.. Washed the car and had an hour or so sleep before the dreaded alarm at 2:30am Saturday morning to meet and drive down to Players. Here's a mix of photos that were taken, most on my iPhone or photos taken by others.

Players was sick, was over the moon I'd got the car sorted and to a state I was happy to park in show and shine. The quality of cars at the show was immense, but I felt pretty happy to see mine parked up! Oh, and all those late nights made me the most tired person in the world, resulting in the worst sunburn I've had in my life when I fell asleep by the track! Untitled by Ross Mullins, on FlickrHaha!! Oh and here's one more from a local meet sunday night.Untitled by Ross Mullins, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
