Quite the to-do list:

Paint the front arches, re-fit the front and rear arches
Paint the two front wheels
Paint the drums & calipers red
Paint the wing mirrors
Paint the door handles & Roof rails (Maybe)

Sort out the rust patches on the crossmember, wheel-well & rear inner arches.
Fit my GSI cam
Find a 1.6 SPI inlet manifold & fit that, along with the 1.8 throttle body & 1.4 spi injector

Buy and fit a GSI spoiler

Do the front and back brakes

MOT
Tax

Yay.

Yep, I know, Ive been informed of the whole process

Got a second wheel done, fitted on the car now, shall take some pics later.

Found that the arches dont match that well , ill try buffing them up, see If i can improve the colour match a bit better.

Cheers mate, il be keeping an eye on them

Anyway, quite a big update.

I have so far sprayed:

  1. All four arches
  2. 3 of the 4 wheels, one to go
  3. Boot lock
  4. Started doing the mirrors


    I have also painted the drums red, and fitted new plugs.

    So far, ive lowered the reare 40mm, just got the front to do, but im doing that and the brakes in a oner, just waiting on my pads.

    Bought a GSI spoiler, just waiting for delivery.

    Pics:









    More to come once the last wheel is on, hopefully get it done tonight.

Aye, its a bit of a love/hate thing, IMO its a good contrast between the white of the wheels.

Wish I had a rear beam with disks rather than drums

It isnt mounted atm as theres some welding needing done on the crossmember, getting my brother to do it within the next 2 weeks.

Quite fancy a GSI bumper, but the expense

Yeah, it would be the ideal tbh, might just save up and get one, and the skirts too.

Right, all four wheels are fitted, and looking good Fitted my badly sprayed mirror, looks ok ish in the pics, but it really did come out awful, so im just going to buy factory caribic blue ones.

Not much else left to do on it exterior wise. For definite:

Lower front
Fit GSI spoiler
Punto rear wiper
New c/c'd mirrors.

Perhaps, hopefully:

GSI front & skirts.
