muz Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Instead of just using high build, what you could of used first is a polyester spray filler then blocked that with P240/P320 then apply your high build primer block that with P800/P1000 would of then given an even flatter finish. Good decision to avoid Matt black as this would of been black basecoat with Matt laquer, and the spraybooth would of needed to be spotless because there's no room for error with any of the spraying as you cannot nib any bits out of the laquer, it needs to be a dirt/imperfection free paint job. Frozen White hope it's going go be basecoat/clear will give a better finish. It's going to completely re-primed and flatted with a high build at the body shop as the can stuffs a little thin anyway. It should be a nice enough finish for what I'm paying. Mates rates means it won't have a clear coat, however I've seen plenty of his work and it will be good enough for this.

muz Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Frozen White with slightly more blue in it to make it real bright. It will look real nice being white with the baby blue subframes and yellow ARB's with anthricite Comps. Bit like this; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/demonbat/DSCF1837.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v246/demonbat/DSCF1651.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muz Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Managed to get hold of a genuine lower bumper grill, new windscreen trim, hockey sticks, mint headlights and sidelights and some Mountune Peformance Yellow gel badges as well to break the white up.

muz Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Got a little bit done yesterday, sorted out the tailgate. It had already been de wipered but the welding had slightly warped the panel so needed hammering flat and some filler http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1297.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1298.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1299.jpg It's also amazing what matt black paint will hide. The boot lid wasnt exactly straight. :lol: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1300.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1301.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muz Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 Was just going to run my Compomotives on it, but because they are 17's they will make the brakes look tiny and using them everyday on our roads I run the risk of bashing them, so yesterday I had a quick scout on eBay to see if I could find any bargains and came across these; http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/Screenshot2011-06-24at092032.png 16x8 ET25 Escort Cosworth Speedline Course 8 spokes. They have 4 good branded tyres on them and were at £122 with 35 minutes to go. I thought I'd put in a cheeky bid of £155 and only won them! Pick them up tonight.

muz Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Went up for a few hours tonight to sort a few small jobs out before Marc picks the car up, was supposed to be today but I wasn't happy with a few little bits. Finished the boot lid off. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1352.jpg Rubbed the bonnet down ready for paint. Needed some putty in the stone chips, but all done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1354.jpg Also had a small repair to do to the lower spoiler as the couriers managed to break a corner off. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1355.jpg Then I had a look over the car to make sure there were no snags before it went to paint and decided that the fuel filler cap will really bug me when it's finished as it's a bit of a bodge, so ripped it out. :cry: They hadn't used the whole unit as it doesn't quite fit properly so the inside had a big gap going into the car and instead of the factory rubber outer seal they had used black silicon right up to the panel. Of course, paint and primer won't stick to silicon so it would never have looked right. Plus it didnt have the little catch area for drips of petrol so they would have been going into the car. Old cap out and next to the standard one. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1347.jpg The old surround which was chopped out and bodged in. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1345.jpg Hole into the car. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1346.jpg So I stripped all the silicon off and keyed it up http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1348.jpg Then the standard cover sits too far into the panel as obviously the Cosworth panels are wider. So I built up the inside with fibreglass and waited for it to go tacky but not totally set then put the new flap assembly in place and pressed it into the gel fibreglass and took it back out so give a mold of the flap. Let it dry hard and gave it a quick sand to take the high spots out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1349.jpg flap assembly in place with the factory rubber seal fitting properly. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1350.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1351.jpg Still slightly too built up in the one bottom corner which needs sanding out and slightly built up in another place but at 10:30 on a Wednesday night I just wanted to go home. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
