Rowan S Jones Posted May 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Well got the centre caps painted (mostly) today! small amount of touching up to do before lacquering them. first I sprayed them taff green which I had to get made up at halfrauds bit of a rip off for the price but meh.thought i'd take some pics of the job!Hollie starting off with the gold leaf paint. was actually quite enjoyable painting them!My Puffer fish was intrigued as to what we were doing haha and the (nearly) finished product, going to re-touch the red and have a bit of a neaten up. I'm fully aware that our painting skills are VERY basic haha, but I think they will look alright when oncomments and criticism welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowan S Jones Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Right, there's been no progress because my gearbox has gone!!looking at getting it sorted ASAP, but it will have a knock on effect on the plans for my sport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James827 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Get an S Gearbox! Will be better on fuel maybe a bit slower getting there mind. sure i seen one on ebay today..(i will look now, don't quote me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan S Jones Posted May 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks, yeah was looking at the gearbox from the s, as it's a lot cheaper for a recon one than the sports one. Also, my home internet has crashed! so i'm afraid the only updates I can put (with no pictures) is i've primered two of the teledials!will get photos up when they're done!

Rowan S Jones Posted May 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) Well I got my car back today! unfortunately 30 mins after driving the gearbox started making a loud whining noise and wouldn't deliver power peoperly. Soo i'm going to be dropping it back into the garage first thing in the morning. bit gutted if i'm honest I proper missed my car while it was off the road!!updates coming when it gets back from the garage!
