I do plan to strip the car down end of the year and do the underside in the same coating as im fairly impressed with it.
You can colour top coat it and it can be lacquered. I cant makeup my mind if im going to re apply stone chip or GRAVITEX just to give it extra protection?

While i was in about with the buff i managed to clip one of the brake lines, so i put an order in to HEL brake lines monday morning and Tuesday they arrived in the post, the look to have changed the lengths ever so slightly made them smaller which is fine as they now fit alot neater!

Still have the other side to do but rain and dampness is stopping me from doing that just now. the 2 pac paint really needs 10oC to dry in about 7 hours but mine is still a bit soft 24 hours in (but only at 6oC so garage heaters are on and at 14oC - should see how fast my electric meter is spinning haha!)

and in other news , 4 months of trying to order one from DR Gas, my side exit pipe finaly showed up. Had to buy it via classic industries in the end, and if im honest both companys get a mark down imo. DR Gas replyed to 1 email , then never heard from them again, they also dont answer there phone or get back to you... (not that i was expecting a phone call back to the uk) then classic industries have the weirdest order system in the world, item was in stock , then not, then took my money to refund it with no reason, 2 day turn arounds for the email replys, item then on back order with no ETA, then one day i notice my money drops in my account, and find out after a phone call that the item is in stock again and on its way to me lol, worked out at like $280 USD for a tail pipe lol what ever!

Have it now and will get it chopped up and fitted soon

Thats all for now!

Rear KW 2-Way Comps, always surprised me that the bodys were just zinc plated, but im glad i put the socks on them! has defo saved them for looking alot worse than they could of been. Quick wire brush, clean out the dust seal area of all its crap, and then a spray with moly film. Wrapped back up and ready to install when the arch has dried fully!
