The car in primer/filler

The spoiler.. still sweet and smooth :-p

The front bumper.. finally in 1 colour .. now you can get an idea of what it will look like..

same for the rear (with contrast colour)

The boot.. in primer

The enginebay .. in primer..

the paint :-p

the boot .. in colour

The enginebay in colour (hmmz.. hard colour to 'catch' on photo

1 liter of paint was just enough to get paint in all the corners

Now the car is nearly ready to go to the bodyshop for it's final paintjob., just needs some sanding, removing of doors etc.

Doors, boot, bonnet, bumpers will be sprayed seperately

Spolier looks mint, and i love the ZS & smooth boot look on mk3's

by **Jur** on Wed Jan 05, 2005 9:50 am

Just have done the final things before respray .. sanded down the car with even more fine sandpaper
taken care of some spots .. sanded the mirors.. etc etc it's now 99,9% clean and smooth :-p

and .. Taken out the doors.. (what a job)
The top doorpins were pretty easy .. the bottom ones were HELL
Made ourselves a special tool (chizzle .. grinded a slot into it) .. the left bottom pin came out .. 10mm .. and broke off. )-: but was loose
The right bottom doorpin .. moved just 3mm .. and broke off.. and had to be pushed out the other way.. (and grind off using a small multi tool grinder (with a 1" blade)

The result..

Door left

Door right

sliding roof.. ehhhm .. sunroof.. ehhm .. wel hole

Hinges

Bend and broken doorpins

hurry up and get that paint back on

by **andyhardy** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 2:38 am

Sweet idea with the sunroof - is it going to be one which slides back over the roof?

I was thinking about getting one from the SportKa (like in the advert with the cat! :lol:

).

I look forward to seeing it at FITP in May

Cheers,

Andy

It's a manual topslider.. First it tilts upwards.. then it slides back for about 25 cm

by **Jur** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 7:35 am

In the paintshop ..

all ready for the paintjob..

Rear

After the first layer of paint..

Then a second coat.. and 2 clearcoats, a speak preview thru the windows

First glanceses of the complete car in it's new colour

The auxilairy parts :-p

Boot, which i think held exceptionally well .. due to all the different materials used

Front bib (with the red glow of a vauxhaul corsa standing next to it)

rear bib

mirror hoods.. well .. ehhm all but the base plate :-p

And then .. my camera cut out (drained batteries)
so no pics of the bonnet, doors, base plates or bonnet hinges..

Awesome colour mate,can i just ask you what this polyester filler your using is?

Do you have to mix it with a hardner paste? I guess it may be different in your country but over here its called P38 but i always find the slightest thing can crack it, and the filler is a brownish colour where yours is white? I was wondering if its any different?

Own mixture of filler (brownisch .. or white) and polyester fibres + hardner..

doesn't crack ... but you have to let it harden out for a while.. before you're gonna do the paintjob..

and don't have the heater on to much after the paintjob .. :-D

due to different expansion coëffients..

by **reveller** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 11:18 am

Ah so its just basic bodyfiller and glass fibres mixed together?

by **Jur** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 12:50 pm

probably not basic.. (as far as i know my father in law)

but probably it's somethine like P38

by **Brycey** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 12:52 pm

Looks mint mate,cant wait to meet n greet you at FITP

by **dan_turner** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:43 pm

looking good mate cant wait to start the same little project on my FRST !!
i wish i could do bodywork myself though! it would make life easier and be a little lighter on the wallet too.

by **Richardson** on Thu Jan 06, 2005 10:55 pm

That colour looks awesome mate, can't wait to see pics of it with all the doors etc back on, and of course, finished pics :lol:

HOW YOU GETTING ON NOW JUR???

by **Jur** on Thu Jan 13, 2005 1:54 pm

adamski frst wrote:HOW YOU GETTING ON NOW JUR???

Well .. after some day's off (my gf had a party due to her birthday past weekend) we went back on .. had some minor setbacks again (i won't mention that at this time.. cause it will be fixed soon)

But hooked up the doors again with new doorpins (those will not be produced anymore .. so stock will shrink soon ) .. shopped around on the local scrappy .. bought some door-seals for around 3 pounds 50 (-: that came of a 2001 fiesta.. so near brand new..

sprayed some parts of the door-'locks'.. and screws.
mounted the leccy window mech on one door .. and will soon mount the chrome handle again .. and line up the doorlock..

then the other door will be done..

after that we will repaint the frontwheel-suspension .. and put the front of the car in the protecting black tar stuff (undercar bodyshutz)

Mount the koni's back on.. and go the the back.. repaint the rear suspension .. put some PU's in .. and mount the koni's

put the engine back in .. before that .. put the loom + dash back in ..

but not finished yet :-p

by **purple_fiesta** on Thu Jan 13, 2005 3:45 pm
