Car should be back on saturday morning so i'll get pictures of it completed on sunday because I won't be in until then.

Just needs the mirrors, jacking point covers and the rear wiper arm on etc....









Got some brakes for it so they should be here in the next few days, but before that all the interior has to go back in.....well minus the rear seats of course.

[scouse-sambo]

What was the black stuff the bodyshop used to smooth the arches in with?

[J@Y]

looks mint

[Adam31]

What was the black stuff the bodyshop used to smooth the arches in with?

Its U-POL SMC flexible filler, its some sort of mixture of a special glass fibre I think, its so it doesnt flex and crack when I hit huge potholes!

[Adam31]

I gotthe car back on saturday but as I have been working night shift I haven't had time to do much to it until today, so her it is....















got plenty still to do but I am not in a rush to get it on the road, want to do everything the right way and not ruin anything.

I just dropped the car off at my friends house along the road where the engine and gearbox etc is coming out ready for the new zetec motor(that is when I get some cash to get it!)

I'll post sum pics up tommorow.

[wakeboardtom]

Looks great. I have smoothed arches and skirts too and now regret it because i have 2 cracks where the arch meets front bumper Think im going to take them off and put them back on - not smoothed this time!

[Adam31]

Ok folks here are some pics from yesterday when we took the engine out the car, they are not in any order, but u get the idea......

[Adam31]

Once I come back from my holiday I will buy the new engine etc for it, and hopefully it'll be up and running by the end of the summer.

My brother was up at sitech today and bolted the head down for me, should have this up and running by mid to late may.

Not much if an update. Got a genuine brand new mk1 FRS starter button and 4 x toggle switches with carbon covers for my switch panel. They are for fan, fuel pump, front screen and rear screen. I also bought some frst fog lights to modify.
