Ahmotorsport Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Only a small one: http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P190911_1253.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P190911_1415.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P190911_1543.jpg http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P190911_1554.jpg Hopefully make a start on getting those Recaros on the runners and fitted on Friday.... That's a point, i didn't take a picture of those! Shock horror! Massive thanks to Tez for the Recaros which will now be fitted in the Imp. Also hoping to start another project soon which the red bucket will be perfect for... Edited September 20, 2011 by Ahmotorsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 When you attending to the paint issues? Runs on wing? Is there a ding along that door line or a shadow? and is it just the pic but the bonnet and the scuttle look slightly different colours? Keep up the good work though sir its looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep up the good work though sir its looking good Soon Mr Grout, soon. In all honesty, i don't know, i think i noticed it at work too, but it doesn't bother me, i'm not that crazy about bodywork (as shown lol) obviously i don't want a car that looks crap but, this will do me fine. Yes they are slightly different colours, do not ask me how i managed to get two different colours out of the same tin of paint, i think paint viscosity played a role in it but i can't certify that. If it doesn't polish up any better, i'll probably repaint it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look forward to some interior piccies.Yeah lol, i don't understand it, i used the same primer, paint from the same tin, same hardener and thinner. Yeah i spose i best crack on with that, got Recaro's, need to carpet where the back seat used to be, stereo, door cards and a new dash panel (probably in the same blue as the car) Good work Thank you very much Sir!

Ahmotorsport Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Made a subframe for one of the Recaros after college today. Turned out pretty good, it all works and i can't see the seat moving in the event of a crash, i will fit it tomorrow i expect. Took it up the road next to work (private of course) just to get a feel for the ol' girl again, grinning from assholes to elbows i was/am. Flat out in third round the 'S' bend, whoever said Imps handle badly is a fecking w4nker, stuck like glue with shitty old tyres on it. http://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P220911_1255.jpghttp://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P220911_1441.jpghttp://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P220911_1516.jpghttp://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P220911_1520.jpghttp://i958.photobucket.com/albums/ae68/Ahmotorsport/P220911_1513.jpgI love that front grill i do, proud of the way that turned out.
