Cars super nice mate.

Good idea and thanks mate
My mate runs a body shop so I prep it all and he paints and does the hard stuff if needed and its on a favor for favor basic so don't pay a lot

You must have painted most of the car now haven't you? I do like it though, you just don't see them about anymore.
Lol yeah and still more to come after the NEC
-
Looks like you washed the paint off in that picture! I'm guessing it's because of stone chips etc?
Lol yeah stone chips and someone had hit the front bumper
I love this car it makes me feel like im 17 again seeing it get modded top stuff
Cheers mate
Am shocked at how much people like the 3 doors
-
absolutely love this. had 3 rover 200s in the past but none of them ever looked as good as this. get it b or k 20'd
Cheers doesn't look very good at the min
Will be painted soon
-
Looks good!
Is it just me or just over-spray get onto the side of the drivers seat when you did the sill?
Was hoping no one spotted that lol
-
Just need to do the rears now
Also did the trims At side of windscreen
-
Bit of work on the sill tonight
So seeing as the car is NEC bound this year need to tidy a few things up
Sticker removed off back
Make the interior match seeing as won't have the electric Windows fitted and Craig is still refusing to sell me the door cards out the green GSi painted the door cards black for now to match
Needed to tidy the fabric up but again the grey doesn't match the black seats so done what I can for now
Don't think I did too bad for a 1st attempt
Door cards need abit more paint but it tidys it up for now as hopefully will be able to fit electric Windows and the correct door cards at some point

Cams have come

Car ran 132bhp on the dyno yesterday so am happy with it stock power is 130bhp it's 22 years old and engine only has air filter and back box but the manifold is off a civic but not really uprated
