Kaan W Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 That darker grey is really nice, that's the one I'd personally go for. Nice choice of colours. Dark grey is my favorite. That dark grey can't wait to see it finished mate Alot more depth to the darker paint, very nice choice Kaan The dark grey looks awesome mate Dark grey. Look's awesome. Will make the car look very evil. Looks awesome. Has that sparkle that the last colour didn't. Brings something special to it Wow that's much more like it! Beautiful Thanks everyone It really does look awesome in the sunlight with a different shade at each angle. I cant wait to see it done The dark grey looks awesome! I never understand why people put things straight on the ground. Even though they aren't the final products, I'd never put painted items like that straight onto a hard floor. How hard is it to chuck a piece of cardboard down first?! Looking forward to seeing the finished product! That was my fault We had about 5 minutes of sunlight so I was rushing them to compare the 2 colours but both panels need flatting back and primering anyway as it was just a tester. Thanks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks guys the dark grey looks awesome mate. I'm expecting a ride in this when its done Of course bud Need a little help deciding on the colour for the bottom of the trial bumper, I think gloss black might not notice as the body is quite dark. Either satin black or maybe satin silver?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaan W Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 Well... I have just had some pictures sent to me from Lee @ SRD of the engine progress, all I can say at the moment is WOW what an amazing job he is doing! I cant thank SRD enough for the care and attention they are putting into this engine it almost looks to good to use. The block has had all the machine work carried out in order to take the stroker kit, it has then been flushed cleaned then painted with new freeze plugs fitted. Heres how its looking - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luxluc Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Nice one mate. Similar spec to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 The eagle eye reader will also notice every nut bolt and washer replaced with new stainless steel Next fitted - New oil pump New water pump Welded timing gear Billet tensioner bracket New tensioner Gates timing belt Titan cam gears Chromed cam gear backing plate And this is how it stands now and I must say I am over the moon with how this looks, what a fantastic job by everyone at SRD good work guys I had the timing belt covers test fitted that I bought from Rob's gold rush supra but I think it would look better with painted covers? Im not a fan of carbon parts so either painted gloss black or colour coded to the body. The theme of the bay is silver and black, what do you guys think?

listy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Don't you dare paint those gold covers! I think having them in there, regardless of the colour scheme, is a nice way to remember the goldrush. If it was me, I'd at least get it together and see how it all looks. If you don't like it, just swap them out then. I know it would be a pain to remove the crank pulley again, but hey, to have that forum history in your engine bay, imo it would be worth it.

Kaan W Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 I won't be painting the gold covers I have a spare set. Personally I think it would look silly with no other gold parts on the car. I would rather get it right first time rather than getting it all done then taking it apart again. I'm sure someone else would make better use of the gold in their bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry_10 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Sell the gold covers and have them in gloss black would look ten times better. I still remember when you first got this car mate now look at it, wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
