Let me know if you need any help mate Not taxing/MOTing it, it will stay as a track car, purely because it is cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted June 20, 2010 Author Share Posted June 20, 2010 did you use the 3m stuff gav ? I did actually, I've not done a proper job as it needs to get both doors and bumper resprayed but I did spend the better part of 2 hours with both 3m products REALLY did make the job easier. Big thanks for those again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 New seats arrived Just wondering whether to de-cat the car though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) The cat looks like its trapped under the wiper lol. Initially it wasn't too keen on me taking a picture, but a swift kick to the head soon made her more compliant or I could say, it wasn't my cat, I found it next to the road with a 'Free Cat sign'....BUT I'd be lying, she is my little cat and just loves sleeping there for some odd reason.

ShamelessTT Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) Has it had a respray on the rear offside back wheel section? looks like some orange pealing going on there, which you just dont get from the factory. Just curious, ive been doing shit loads of spraying recently .......just wanna see if ive got my eye in. p.s Id like to get in the car all stealth, crank it up, and drive off super quick, cat would be owned....

Just curious, ive been doing shit loads of spraying recently .......just wanna see if ive got my eye in. Yup, it has had a BAAAAAD respray when I got it (long story...gt-cars....) If you look at the first pic and look at the doors, the paint started sinking and cracking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShamelessTT Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 No worries mate, just testing my eye lol. So many cow boy resprayers out there. Even on my car which i had done by a very reputable company has marks in very minor places under the clear and varying paint depths (looking at it with a half trained eye now).

Si Given that NA's aren't worth a lot and the fact that paint is sh.... poor, it just made sense to turn it into a track toy.. A full respray which it would REALLY need to be half decent makes it worthless IMHO.
