Ultimate street car went well this weekend. The car was sitting pretty. Walking around Santa Pod gave me more idea's of things to do so I should start making some more progress soon. Few pictures from the show

Yes Mate

Fitted tyres to the wheels today and got them fitted. Had to raise the rear a little because I had a little issue with fitment. I'll invest in some camber adjustable plates for the rear coilovers soon so I can bring it back down. Couple pictures of the wheels Test fit yesterday Quite happy with them apart from the fact I had to raise it up. I'm planning on extending the wheel arches at a later date so i'll have the wheels sitting out wider when that is done which should give it a nice stance.
-
Fitted the spoiler and horns the other day and bought a new set of wheels today. Wheels should be here by the middle of next week hopefully so I can tyres fitted and fit them before USC next weekend. Starting work back on the diffuser now so there is a slim chance that will be fitted before the weekend too.
-
Fog covers, mirror caps and the horns were sprayed and fitted yesterday, spoiler is being done today. Also lowered the car by another half an inch so the wheels fill the arches a little better now. Also fitted some new tyres the other day too. Few pictures..

She's home. Putting it all together over the weekend and then just waiting for the other bits to be sprayed. The colour is very.. Bright.. More pictures soon.

BIG update time. The car is now sprayed. Got it in on Tuesday and finished the paint this evening. It will be polished up and will come out tomorrow. Means tomorrow evening will be filled with rebuilding it with all the trims etc. I went for gloss black on the trims between and above the doors. Mirrors will come off in the next couple of weekends and be sprayed gloss black with white caps. Spoiler and fog covers still need to be sprayed, as do the supertones. All of which will hopefully be done this weekend. Few pictures

Made some more progress on the car today, got the doors off so they're ready to be rubbed down and sprayed. Also welded up the lock in the boot and the side repeater holes which have also been filled up. Should be spraying the door shuts and inner doors tomorrow with any luck ready for the rest to be done over the weekend.

Started preparing the car for paint this week, and got my coilovers adjusted to a better height, still not keen on the gap at the front but its already difficult to get on my driveway.. Anyway. Started repairing the damage to the rear bumper that the car came with and a dink in the door from someone in a carpark presumably. Also began stripping some bits and pieces off, getting them ready for paint. Spoiler is off, as are all the fancy bits on the front bumper, also removed the boot lock which will be smoothed along with the side repeaters which will eventually be relocated to the wing mirrors in the form of led's I imagine. Also made a bracket up for the new horns and resprayed the wiper arms to freshen them up a bit. I also took the horns apart so they can be sprayed from red to white along with the rest of the car. Should hopefully be heading in for paint late this week.

Just some ebay specials at the moment, Max Speeding Rods or something along those lines.

Update time. Bought a set of coilovers the other day so I fitted those this evening. I still need to adjust them to get it sitting lower but they're fitted atleast. I haven't really got any pictures of them fitted yet because there isn't much difference in height at the moment. I'll get them adjusted properly in the next week or so and then i'll get them set up and sort out the tracking etc. Also bought some hella supertones (knock offs) which i'll be fitting tomorrow hopefully. Also the big news is that i'm hoping to get the car in for paint next week. Full respray in white. The horns will also go from red to white when it gets sprayed. Stay tuned.

Made a bit more progress on the diffuser lately. Cut around the template on a piece of perspex and started cutting it around and bending it to fit the bumper properly. Needs a lot more shaping yet but i'll be starting on the fins soon so I can fibreglass everything at once.
-
Sprayed the inserts of my headlights black today. Pictures to come of the lights back together again.
-
Sprayed the whole underside of the car in stonechip the other day to clean it up and give it a bit of protection from rust. Also started making up a template for a diffuser for the rear bumper. I'm making the template out of cardboard and then either covering it with fibreglass and adding fins or transferring the template to a sheet of plastic. Early days yet so don't judge on what it looks like at the moment... This is what it should look something like when its done
