How'd the front guards come up?

Have,nt got to them yet Justin. Iam in the process of making a mold for the bonnet and a couple of roof vents for a few friends.

 

Bit more carbon fibre bling and door catches are on.

Amazing the differance a bit of black paint makes on the catches isn't it, did you make that carbon fibre piece or can you buy flat sheets of it already resined ect, just needing to be cut to shape? The reason being I am wanting to make carbon fibre door trims for mine and that would make life so much easier

A good friend of mine, Chris Scott of TRD KE70 fame, made a sheet for me on some glass. Most of it got used in the Celica but I keep finding off cuts big enough to make these little bits of trim.

 

Gloss black engine enamel. No primer needed and tough as nails. Detailing in a can.

I took to many photos at this point. Here are a few more.

 

NOT POSSIBLE! MOAR photos! MOAR! :)

 

Top work as always Craig, I assume you're doing the painting yourself too? Looks too good for a rally car paint job!

 

How many coats are you doing and what type of paint? Different paint for the lower doors and sills?

 

Keep the updates coming!

Yeh that was my plan make it up a a pane of glass

Goodness me :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Thanks Stephen. Paint is 3 coats of 2 pack A1 Ford winter white.

Ive put some anti stone chip on the sills, but nothing really works for rally cars.

 

Iam after the large retaining nut on the wiper pivots. If some one has a spare to sell, it would be greatly appreciated.

Awesome Thread! I enjoy seeing updates in this thread

PM'd regarding Nut^^

Thats funny but with a hint of truth about it.

I does take a long time to "click" with a new nav before you can really trust and commit to a flat out blind crest just because they say so.

I think the first question a new nav gets asked is. How much do you weigh? lol.

 

Mold for the bonnet is made.

Making mounting brackets for the new rear brake calipers.

Modified A arm, rear strut and brakes fitted.

Hey Craig, how much could you do a set of those flares for?? I'm very interested. PM me.

Finding a home for the rear strut canisters.
