Grant Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 SooooooooMassively long time since any update!!! Quite a but has happened last few weeks. So, first bit, VTis skirts. Not the most exciting stuff, but makes a massive visual difference. and also, most importantly absolutely no signs of the rot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Next, next was wheels! Been after something with a better filament. Debated a set of JR's but saw these come up and eBay, and with a little photoshop help from Jake, it had me sold. This is how they arrived.Paint looked ok from a distance. But get up close, it was as if they'd done it with a brush! But they were a good price and the chap posted them for free! Trial fitment. Off to @Chandler for some blasting, cheers mate!! There was an absolutely heroundeous 'plastic' coating on them that you just couldnt get off by hand sanding! This made it much easier! Started on the primer. Quick rub down and colour coat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Bloody uploads and their iffy rotations!!! Then on to the lacquer. Love how this brings it out. And for those wondering, yes, it's the same gunmetal I did the standards in. Obligatory baking with the sitting room fire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 And then today, took the wheels upto @phill1975 had the tyres swapped and stuck em on! Love it now, stance is exactly how I wanted/hoped it would be. These are 15x7j et 35. Also had my front VTis lip properly sprayed. I'd consider myself pretty good with a can, anyone who sees the wheels close would agree, but I cannot match PB from a can! Just can't get it! So well worth sending it away. A quick once over with the machine polisher ready for next week too. Coat of wax, she's looking her best again! And finally, added a tigewa 3 point front brace, matches to the bay perfectly and tightens the front up nicely. Quite a noticeable difference actually! Impressed. Thanks to @Chandler again! Ill let the pics do the rest of the talking! Phil hard at work!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
