[MAD_Adamski]

What make mate? being in the trade i get discounts at verious places, but the stuff i get dirt cheap is poor quality

not sure exactly [ERRR] make mate i didn't pay too much attention to that just gave them a good going over to see if they were strong and they seemed fine so was happy..... i'll get back to you on the make...


and thanks project yer i'm well chuffed the car gettin on really well now can't wait will be doin loads on it on sunday hopefully get exterior painted and front hubs and brakes all setup looking all good

[FezzR]

and you work FAR to dam quickly

[mackers]

that is awsome work mate, love to have the space n skill to do that!!! cant wait to see her finished!!!

[MAD_Adamski]

ok bit of an update the car won't be sprayed till christmas now due to my mate going on holiday for 2 weeks!!! sooooo while i'm waiting gonna try get hold of the few bits i'm missing and prepare someother bits too, so really wanted to fit the dash and other bits but gotta wait till its all painted then it'll all look ace mate was just gettin the the rear bumper arch's filled to match the arch's on the 1/4's so that'll be done now....




any way sourced out my clear rears i bought a while ago and took them to the body shop ready to go on when its painted.... dunno wot people think of puttin clears on it thinking of painting them the same colour as the car but unsure gonna leave them as they are for now then see wot u think????:wink:









also just thought i'd post a quick pic of my old boot which is obviously still going back on fully smoothed with a mondy est spoiler smoothed NO existing spoiler!!!! had it fitted b4 but the pic wasn't good quality so anyway heres a few pics of it in the shed waiting to be rubbed down then painted the new colour...


















also thought i'd throw a pic of the black zetec-s dash i got which will be going in with all the heater stuff too bit dusty as its in the shed too






anyway as usual comments welcome thanks ad

oh and have fun with the dash
and wheres the random shots of people and the workshop

the spoiler is solid mate but not if u stand on it!!! not cracked at all so it [ERRR] be fine , the dash wont be too much trouble as already got everything in place to make it fit just sort the electrics out at a later date as obviously it dont matter till the engine is in!!! and they all looked rough today so thought i'd save u lot the pain

[andyhardy]

Coming along nicely - it seems to me every person (except for Rawli) has delays when getting their spraying done! THE longest thing I've waited for to get sorted on mine, second being mapping!

Have fun with the Mk5 dash - sounds like an arse of a job from the other accounts I've seen!

Cheers,

Andy

well he would have sprayed it but as i said he's goin away and he said he doesn't wanna spray it then just leave it encase it 1. gets damaged by a customer or 2. leave it there without it bein flatted and sorted he wants to get it perfect when he's bak so he can concentrate properly on it... as for the dash like i said it'll all fit ok the only pig i think will be the wireing ??? but i have someone i know who will sort that no prob he's a god with that stuff

[reveller]

I think you may find the wiring is the easiest part, ask Al on here one of the moderators i think he has a how to guide.

yer welll my bonus is before the inside was sprayed i put the heater box in and mounted it and got it to fit real good and the same with the dash had couple of bits welded to make it all fit sweet as so as i said the dash and heater will fit sweet just have to sort the wireing but the car will have no power so can't do the wireing till then

[FezzR]

xrsi struggled to get hid to fit,

personnally i reconnow is a good time to fit the dash,
no fear of scratching anything and no rush, just get it so it all fits properly then take it out again for sparying and sort the wiring later

[FezzR]

dam took to long to read the post

you can sort the wiring with no power, just cant test it

AFAIK you need to run an extra feed to the heater electronics for engine speed

[MAD_Adamski]

yer dude it does fit i had it in bout 5 times fits perfect..... but mate says it'll only get dusty and dirty just to wait till the outside is painted so the doors and that can go bak on and i'm not cleanin it every week yer as you say i can't test it so i think i'll leave it for now, then ask 40 questions when i have power!!!

[FezzR]

hows the engine coming along?

[MAD_Adamski]

its not at the mo gonna start sorting that after christmas cost me a fortune to get the car like it is now... so just payin my mate off for the bodywork then after christmas only gotta get the engine turbo and gerbox then get it all mapped and i'm away

[MAD_Adamski]

picked up my battery tray today and started my front bumper just to give u all a little insight

[Ghost]

[MAD_Adamski]

gonna have to come an have a look see at this one day

and yer mate ur welcome to come see but will be really sweet afetr christams will be almost finshed then ....... as the exterior will be done cant wait

[MAD_Adamski]

ok got few big updates today got the tyres on the azev's today 195/45/15's goodyear eagle F1's had to go see a mate to get some cheap but was worth it !!!!
















pleased now there on lowered it a touch more and still have the possibility to lower another 20mm or more but don't wanna scrape so 20 will be safe when the car is finally finished but heres a pic to see how it sits now, i think it must be lowered somewhere between 80-100mm...




















also got my fuel pump box as there so noisy i wanted them boxed so got a piccy of my alloy bits here for u














wasn't gonna give this away yet but gonna be hard to hide but i have my cooling set up now too see wot u think....

[heeman10]

Ad, go drive your car in hell. With that setup, your ACT's still won't go above 30 degrees Superb

[FezzR]

dont know weather i love you or hate you

[Brycey]

dont know weather i love you or hate you

Ditto

I love it for watching this car evolve then hate him cause its not my damn car!

[reveller]

Don't mean to take over your thread adam but wanted to ask you something as ive had none or very basic replys to my other topic i started.

When spraying the final coat on and it is complete, and youve let it set and lacquered it, what do you do then? Do you just polish it up with some G3 or cutting paste? Or do you flat the final coat back with 1500 or 1200 grit or something then G3 it or cut it up to a shine?

How many coats of paint and lacquer do i need to use?

My car has mettalic paint by the way its greyish.

[Ghost]

[dannyboy]

Excellent progress, this car will be a great all rounder, stunning looks and going by that cooler will have power to match, dont forget once the engine is in it the front will drop a fair bit.

[MAD_Adamski]

i'm not a pro on painting its my mate who is but i think dont quote! u use 3 coats of paint and 3 of laquer? and then when its all dried properly flat it with wet and dry use it wet tho but just do this to skim the imperfrections out the laquer then cut and polish it ! remember this is me goin on [ERRR] i seen sometimes may not be correct?

[Sphinx]

Amazing!.......ly dusty

Looks top class!

[adz]

thats looks sweeeeeeet. how big is your wallet
that colours mint. i cant wait to see more updates, and the final thing of course
how did you smooth your rear bumper? im having trouble at the arches on mine.

[Xr_Dub]

wicked....



love the rims.... think that will make the look even more cool.....

[Max M4X WW]

I think your coolers wonky lol.

[MAD_Adamski]

Amazing!.......ly dusty

yer unfortunally we tried to cover it up but due to the amount of work and insurance jobs goin through the body shop u can imagine all the filler and paint dust everywhere but when its fully painted we can get the doors and that on to keep the dust out!!

I think your coolers wonky lol.

and max it may be slighty out? but if u look closely the end tanks are angled so its never gonna look perfectly straight till u look at it in that way

thats looks sweeeeeeet. how big is your wallet
that colours mint. i cant wait to see more updates, and the final thing of course
how did you smooth your rear bumper? im having trouble at the arches on mine.

mate my wallet is as big as everyone elses i just work my nuts off and don't smoke or drink much so i save a bit to spend on the car as for the bumper i gave u some advice just have a long hard think...

[PaulFRST]
