Here are a few pics of how of my turbo used to look when i sparyed it black about 3years ago



Then i got abit pissed off with the stickers and the white wheels so i took the stickers off and painted the wheels silver



And then is this is what happened on way to a show 15 months ago


And here are some pics from the start of the re-build

 

Nice one mate good to see a few local cars getting the treatment

I've just started a thread on my new bargain buy too

 

Nice project whats your plans for it

 

Hopefully the start of a full under body resto there ,good to see them being saved

 

When i brought this it was just a rolling shell as my frist rs turbo was rotton ,So i got this shell as it was the best i one i could find at the time but it was mercaury grey and i do not like that colour at all so as i paint cars all day as it my job i thought i would give it a nice black paint job but i have now got abit pissed of with black.

So the plans are as follows........

full body resto and the underside will be getting done as well
colour change
smooth engine bay (TWINS style )
new wheels and they are 18's
adjustable tcas
engine rebuild
cosworth management
hi spec 330mm front brakes
cosworth rear brakes
new front wings and front panel
gaz coilovers
full poly bush kit
some new seats but unsure on which ones yet
full samco hose kit
and much more i hope

Here are some more pics, i have been working on the car for about 8-9 mouths now so i have lots of pics


started to remove some panels







Lots more pics to come

 

Dude how much for the voodoo's? pm me

 

sorry mate already sold to my mate they are on his mk5 rs2000

 

Not danrs2k surely he's already got a set

 

yes thats him that set was my set

 

About time you put some pics up mate it seems a fookin long time ago since it looked like that

(GRANT)

 

Once i had got the panels off i got some of these from a shop near me for £2 pound each so i got 20 of them


and then it look like this








And then i found this hiding under alot of sealer


So i have got some new chassis for it now

 

Because of the rot on the chassis i did not want to weld plates on them so i got some new one's

Here are the new one's


So i took the old one's off





And then got busy welding the new one's in to place





hope you lot like and i am just up loading some more pics

 

After welding the chassis in i did not want to leave the underside of the car in bare metal for long so the next day i wiped the underside of with some thinners just to make sure there was no oil or grease left on it, Then i give it two coats of etch primer on it and then i left it for a few hours to go hard then i when and sealed up all of the joins were i had removed the sealer from





Then i left that for a day or two till my stone chip come as the pepole how we use at my work place did not have as much as what i need in stock so they had to order it for me from 3m,

this is the stone chip stuff that i am on about

the only thing is that it is about £15+vat per bag and i used 16 bags on the car thank god i got my works discount of it

And this is what it looks like














lots more pics to come let me now what us think

 

Nice one matey keep up the good work,

Do they do that stone chip in aerosols as i havent got a compressor, I'll have 500 cans please

 

lovely work mate...

 

Work looks great so far

 

Looking great

 

superb

 

Thanks for the comments

i will get some more pics up later or tomorrow night

 

Right then i forgot to put these pics up they are from after i had etch primed but before i had stone chiped

the new wheels

new front panel and wings on and lined up to make sur of a good fit and the i weld them on when i was happy with the fit



i then removed all the springs from the car to see where the wheels would catch the arches so that i could remove the metal that was in the way





more pics to come soon hope you like

Nice work matey, was your new chassis rails a arse to get on, cause mine are being a rite c*nt!

 

Oooh Craig you bitch

Then again, your Rs was a copy of Soy.....

 

1. You didn't even own that car 3 years ago

2. It's having a colour change

If you have nothing decent to say don't fucking say it,

Jamie what ya doin with the front end keeping it as is or going for something different mate??

Top work btw anymore pics

 

nice one mate i do not have to say anything now

and the front end will look the same as be for but i am hoping to get a carbon bonnet and i will have two different front bumpers so i can change them when i get bored

 

sorry you think that mate but i got my ideas from this car

SOY r.i.p

 

right pepole some more pics

just before i weld the front end on i thought i would weld all the hole up in the engine bay and on the front panel (TWINS STYLE ) hope you do not think i am copying fella




and the front panel all done


front panel on and welded


all the inner wing filled and front panel

still lots more to come

 

Jamie that blue is fuckin gorgeous get it done and do the voodoo's white again would look mint with the blue that

 

that blue is mega Go for it

Wicked project,the blue looks awesome..

 

Love that blue


Good work on the underside too



But you copied Dave

 

Actually young rad i think you will find mine was started before dave if you look at the dates

 

Thanks for the comments pepole

no its not going to be that blue as it is a lot of money and its a pain in the arse to spray it cost me about £35 to paint that one wing as you have to paint it silver then you put that blue on and if the blue goes on a bit to wet in one place then you have to start it again

any way a few more pics for you lot

next step was to get some high build primer on the front end and on the boot tailgate for got to say i have removed the boot lock and rear wiper






and after 4 good coat it looked like this







and i put some on the underside of the front panel


still more to come

 

What primer is that mate? Looks like a primer we use in work, Good quality high build ( cant remember the name )




Started being the word here.. Making it to various shows is another
