my 2wd saff update , bufty session
Not going well ATM the bumper I have bought from off eBay is full of fibreglass and been repaired dodgy , didn't know this till I've been to see Steve the guy who's painting it , it's twisted and looks awful when on the car ,
Then 1 of the comps is cracked now the tyres off oh and 2 of the tyres are split on the inside so not really loving things

Been doing a bit last couple of weeks had to get my springs on the rear wasn't going to do another summer with it sat on it's arse , so stripped off full exhaust system the 1997 magnex o.e spec system ,
Dropped down the rear beam and fitted the Ahmed springs , noticed that the rear n/s chassis leg needs some attention , will get this done once car is back on the road , got a couple of people to show what I want doing so will go from there .
Sent the downpipe off to get a new lamda boss welded in ready for the stack afr gauge
Whilst exhaust was off thought I would try cleaning it up a bit was looking a bit dog
As you can see needed
Gave it a soaking in alloy wheel cleaner
Then metal wax and buffed with cutting polish
Came up well tbh
Then got downpipe back last night and wrapped with heat wrap
Been promised wheels and bumper back next week so hopefully be going to Cumbria

Exhaust has come up well...
Right wanted to get car done for Cumbria but as usual nothing goes to plan , one of my wheels had a crack on the inner lip so had that repaired all the wheels have been shot blasted , as someone had painted over the powder coat and it looked a mess , so wheels are all cleaned up , filled in all imperfections so should look good when finished ,
The new bumper I bought was no good , so taken the rs500 splitter off it and Steve who's doing the painting had repaired my old bumper to get rid of the smile , taken all paint off and started fresh really impressed with the result
Has had new number plate fixings and new bumper moulding I've got new fig light gaskets to fit too
Wheels ready for etch priming
Then 4 coats of primer

Well I've bought the grey paint and that was a shock to me , Jesus they know how to add up , but now all the hard works gone it to preparing the wheels should be a quick nib over and paint if I wanna change in future
I'm getting tempted by the comp th's and those chromadora copies , wonder if they would look nice in gold
