sooo ive decided to write up a build thread since getting banned from other forums for nonsense and causing havok in the process....so here me being legit and real, time to mature up time to do things right. many tears were shed upon my exit from previous forums but blah blah blah aside. pictures time;
   some of me driving to geelong AFD 2013     might be updating the engine bay look again. just waiting on a few shiny blue bits to come. so far so good.. Ideas/constrictive critisism is welcome on here as ive gone past the point of carying and fighting criticism...hence why previous forums i got banned for being a hero, time to step up the game and actually do something right, hopefully im doing things right.

(although no red moulds, not everyone knows that lol) so far plans: -Receive and fit fuel pressure reg with gauge -Fit Sprint kit -Fit bonnet buldge -Lower the rear to king springs SSSL (currently front sits on SSSL monroe gt shocks & rear sits on standard springs monroe gt shocks) -Respray back to colbolt blue (the paint is actually f**k and there is massively noticeable dints on this car...) -Fit New wheels ------------ Dreamy mods? (something that i want but my wallet would never agree with me) -Air Suspenssion all around engineered (got quoted close to $8.2-8.5k) -Shaved door handles (door poppers) ($?????) |

The polished rocker cover makes the engine bay look real clean Thanks man...its a bit off messy but still in progress hopefully il have it finished this year {USERNAME} wrote: does the paint stripper work on powder coating or is the xh ones not powder coated? Not quite sure...it was its original tickford red...just sprayed paint stripper onto it and bam whole thing lifts up. Its brilliant but in terms of shine il use 600 and 1200 grit wet and dry sand paper then use some cutters and metal polish compound to give that shine thats exactly the same as on my current one. |
