garetheves Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 ...so have been tarting it up a little over the last few months. Looks much better if i do say so myself. This is what it was like when i bought it: http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/9431/before16nw.jpg And this is what it looks like now http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/8858/after29qj.jpg http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/7200/after17ef.jpg http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/2150/after37wu.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2004/after40ge.jpg http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/2938/after55kz.jpg Big thanks and thumbs up to Col (Colsoop), his workmanship is top notch and a great bloke as well, he supplied a lot of the parts either directly or indirectly as second hand parts off other members. Couple of bits left to go; i need a PS resevoir, a CF Slam panel and id like to get all hoses and silicon connectors Red as well but these will come in time. Also have a Chrome Catch Can waiting to go on in the future and would like to powdercoat the ends of my strut bar black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Looking great Gaz How much did it all cost roughly? Iv wanted to do it but from what i can see a polished pipe is like £60 a peice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Looking really good Gaz! Fingers crossed mate you get it running this week Is it back in Hyper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Looking good gaz. I plan on polishing/chroming everything on mine when it's on the engine stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Cheers all the kind words guys, im really chuffed with it. In terms of cost its hard to say cos ive been collecting like a Magpie for a while now and some of the parts were second hand. I reckon around £400 in total. Rob: Nah a mate has a friend who is a Car Sparkie so hes taking it. Weve narrowed the prob down to electrical so made more sense to send it to him. Hopefully hes picking it up this week.
