Only idea's i really had from you was the powder coating and loosing some of the loom

I only asked for the boot to be painted but the lad said he mixed up too much so went over the rest

Not had the engine bay done as i was only done about 9 months ago, just needs a good polish

Will pm you the price

Damo V · 22-03-2004, 05:14 PM

Aiiiii In the flesh, the powder coating DOES look the tits mate.... Well worth it, whilst its in bits IMO...

Bit of a result re the floorpan there

RSMick · 22-03-2004, 06:59 PM

Damo V · 24-03-2004, 07:59 PM

What you gonna use to refix the kit mate? on my old car I used Stickaflex, but that was a black car.....

Tony Turbo · 24-03-2004, 08:23 PM

Nice work Gav

How long reckon before you will driving it again?

I wish I could have my boot done too

PMSL

Gav Diamond · 25-03-2004, 04:24 AM

Sure if ya talk nice to Damo he will sort it

It needs to be ready for TOTB quilifers if its not i will leave it far a while to sort me finances out

Damo
I am picking the kit up today(thursday) and am going to ask them what to use
Will update later with pics

Gav Diamond · 25-03-2004, 04:44 PM

Damo
Spoke to the bodyshop
He said i could use stickaflex but its hard to get the kit off again
Said he uses 3M double sided tape, costs about £15-£20 a roll, been round everywhere by me to get it but i can't find it, if ya see any at the paint place you use let me know so i can order some as his supplier is out

Gonna underseal all the under side of the car before i put the arches back on as to not cover them with it.

Damo V · 25-03-2004, 09:00 PM

Aiii, thats the trouble with stikaflex... didnt really wanna use it, with the taoe, cant really bugger it up either

Try brown brothers.....

RobCarden · 25-03-2004, 11:38 PM

Engine = Scotty SUPER special

Not sure about flying matey as i have never been on track before, you will have to come out with me and show me the ropes

Newts · 29-03-2004, 12:12 PM

You can follow me for a while 'til you get bored

As long as its not Castle Combe

Maybe the Saturday at Dono ND weekend, see what my poxy 360 horses can do against the many 500+bhp motors there are now.

Gav Diamond · 29-03-2004, 04:10 PM

Sounds cool matey, you gone light blues conversion now then, saw your car at Scottys a while ago, what happened to thet rim

Gav Diamond · 29-03-2004, 04:32 PM

Newts · 29-03-2004, 05:19 PM

What cage is that, Gav?

Greys, actually but same bhp as blues. That rim - well, there was this kerb and it just lept out infront of me doing about 50mph. Hard bastid wheels those MO's

You must have some patience, starting from scratch - top marks, mate. Is the engine at Scotty's? Might have a nosey, see if it is SUPER special

Keep goin'
Newts

Gav Diamond · 29-03-2004, 05:29 PM

Cage is a full Safety Devices Bolt in, got it from Peter Lloyds

There are bits of the engine at Steve's
AFAIK he has the:
Rods
Pistons
Head
Will get done in the end,lol

mk2rstaff · 30-03-2004, 09:20 AM

Newts · 31-03-2004, 01:52 PM

How do you rate the cage for quality? And how hard is it to fit?
Think I'm getting one, too.
I guess its the 6-point jobbie?

Gav Diamond · 31-03-2004, 05:03 PM

The quality is pretty good to be honest, but it would have been nice if the front cage went through the dash rather than in front of it.
It fits well easy if you don't want the trim in, but with the trim its a bit of a nightmare.
Mine is the 6 point i think, i you aren't bothered about having the trim in speak to Scotty as the one that he had in his track day car was better than this one in my opinion.
HTH

Newts · 31-03-2004, 06:42 PM

what does "trim" entail??? Door cards, stereo compartment?
I'm having the back seats out anyway, but didn't want to go too minimal.

Cheers
Newts

Gav Diamond · 01-04-2004, 02:28 PM

Trim is the rear 1/4 cards and roof lining etc, it can be done but it takes time.

Anonymous · 01-04-2004, 05:00 PM

Ian2wdsaffcos · 02-04-2004, 12:35 PM

Damo V · 03-04-2004, 06:24 PM

Gav, did you manage to get hold of some 3M tape mate?? My local Brown Brothers had some when I was last in there...

Gav Diamond · 04-04-2004, 09:16 AM
