richierich37 236 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Went out to Stews Bodyshop tonight to see the car and talk about some repairs, very few areas that need attention, any surface blisters were taken back to bare metal and will be treated accordingly!Some more progress photos.......Rusted area at door hinge......Bunnit, bumper and trims in primer.....More updates as I get em?!?! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Therusterman 59 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Strange why the door has rusted in that spot by the hinge, the rear driver side door has done the same on mine! Is the lower bumper trim going to be painted or will that remain the textured black? Link to post Share on other sites
richierich37 236 Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Yup it's a strange place to rust dude?!?!? The full rear bumper will be painted man ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
richierich37 236 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Some more progress on this yesterday, I'm going to head out and see big stew as we might be taking this a step further! Rust repairs.........Arch prepped.........Wee bit of colour........Modified tailgate now painted..........5.23am and I can't sleep for thinking about vr6, mulberry paint and powder coating parts!

andymk312v 15 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Looking good auld yin.Thinking about paint and powdercoat, what about the noise that you've barely heard? Link to post Share on other sites
richierich37 236 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Cheers dude, aye that noise too, only did about 300miles in it before it went in for work! Loljust back from the Bodyshop discussing more plans for this! We have now decided to treat inside the arches with a paint finish and also remove beams, wishbones etc and get them powdercoted prior to refitting, this then leads to rear calliper painting to match front upgraded brembos and new colour coded hoses too! Here are a few snaps from today..........Og wings, arches rolled, indicators deleted and sealed.........More updates next week! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
