update folks - 28-11-2011
as said , been working on prepping the insde of the car for primer ect ,
few pics ,
spoiler fitted
wings now sealerd up
more sound deadening was bought ,
insides of the rear quarters were cleaned and then a strip of sd applied
can see how much cack was in there ( bottom of pic )
cleaned
backs of the quarters degreased note the glue that wouldnt shift
pads mocking in on the rear floor section
marked cut and installed
cpl random shots - everything at this point was scotched and tak ragged
cpl pic of the battery tray now installed in the bay
then it was onto bagging up the car ,
final blow out , tak ragged , ready to rock !!!
spesh on the case Ź!!
me ready to rob the local post office !!!!
two coats later
SCHHHAAAAAAAAATINNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG
has the tailgate up , hence alot of shadow in the pictures ,
the plan was to get the full inside in primer , but time was against us and it was getting late , so we called it a day with the rear end done ,
will crack on first thing with the rest of the primer , then with a bit of luck we can flat it , get it all based up in grey
also , again , a big big thanks to stu collins , the drivers front arch arrived this morning and its perfect , k's allready fitted it
top bloke ! cheers mate
also thanks again to all k's hard work today

This is going to be utterly outstanding....
Beef mate, things indeed seem to be on the up. The Defence review chopped 3 ships off our flotilla, but they aren't going to be making ME redundant so I don't care
I'm off again in a few days and will be back early July when I hope to see loads of progress on this baby!
TOP stuff big lad. Really is!

Looking good Beefy
Them pads work wonders in the 1/4's I put some in on the 3dr and stonechipped as well and the difference in the panel noise is massive, mind you I put quite alot in as I want it as quiet as possible.

i know it's a bit late in the day beef/spesh, but did you ever consider putting in some roll cage mounts underneath everyting so that, in the future, if you decided to put a cage in you wouldn't have to do it all over again?
and while you were at it, you could have put in some air jacks as well

danny appriceate the comments mate ,
but as ive said to the cpl people that mentioned it ,
its an unknown quantity , its never been fitted to a mk three so its a case of suck it and see ,
wont know till its built but its a bit of a compromise anyway , was always going to be rough being on coilovers ,
its a performance orientated car - if i wanted smooth id of bought a mondy lol
yeah dave im sure it will be fun , but these things must ,
primers not 100% dry yet ,
so weve decided to leave it the night and just get on with it first thing in the am

fair play danny ,
as stated , can only see what its like when its finished ,
if it was 100000000% unbearable then it would come out and id go another route such as a 200sx rear or something
i wanted this setup from the get go , end of the day only ill be able to decide what i can and cant live with ,
its getting an interior as i cannot stand cages ,
i appriceate the comments bud , but its past the point of changing ,
ive a fat ass to cushion my ride lol
