Default J500RSC 4X4 saaff general/underside tidy up and some new bits

Has the car about 10months now, had some fun in it over summer and want to make it my own now and tidy it up here and there. Just started taking a few bits off my saff today, was meant to be started a few months ago but only just started it due to various things, i want it back and sorted by summer but not sure if that wil happen, dont want to start using it again till ive got every thing i want for it and its totally how i want it to be. I want it tidy looking undernieth, nothing special just usable, and reassurance theres not going to be any rot in future, from what i can tell there isnt at the min but will no more once the bits are off the underside, havent done that much cus its outside atm, and its going in the garage next weekend, thats when i can start getting bits off the underside and get rid of the horrible underseal which will take me ages to get off i think!! Might need some help along the way on the best way to do things etc if you dont mind! Will update as and when i do stuff, hoping toi work on it every weekend.

Here are a few pics from today,




Engine Bay - Going to spray all the chrome black and get black hoses aswell. Maybe abit of carbon too.


Back bumper and skirts off


Sills dont look too bad


Will be able to do this myself i think, only on the surface.


Interier in then out.


doior cards off to get retrimmed as there shrunk abit.


Fllor looks good on top, hoppefully the same underneith lol.



Then a some bits ive bought over the past couple of weeks, shame i cant fit them yet
362mm 6pot aps for the front, reyland 300mm conversion for the back and some old style mos which im getting redone in silver next month when my mates are getting some done as ive sorted a group buy sort of thing And will have a stage 2 rear beam in a couple of weeks.






Hope i havent bored you too much!! Will update next week.
Cheers Tom.
