Not much progress, washed it and sanded the roof.... Still haven't decided the shade of red! Took shots of the paint imperfections......

Julian sorted the wiring of my tails as I removed the wires to have them chromed.

Fitted the tails and lenses etc. Looks like a complete car.

Wet sanded and polished the bumpers. Fitted the rear bumper up. not convinced on the colour on the car.. Oh well. Chrome next year.

Fitted up the fuel pump. Need hose clamps, but its wired in etc.

Made new brake lines, Rebuilt my calipers, changed the brake hoses. Filled with brake fluid and bled up by myself. The car now can stop and steer.

looking really good Alex.

Cor of the bars don't look out of place.

looks good! The white roof is growing on me.

Vee_Que

Painted and wrapped the headers, Rebuilt the clutch slave, new hose, dummied up the webers, after kitting them and checking the jets etc. May be lean, but it seems close to some recommendations. The wideband will tell the story. With my intake and its not a great look/too close to the steering. so im going to twin socks instead.

Wet the wrap and baked it this time?

Vee_Que

Nope. Its not fibreglass. Its held up fine on my wagon...

Bumper looks nice

Maybe if everything that is chrome was done the same as the bumper?

I like the bumper colour too. The chrome coachbolts/fasteners stand out though - not sure if that's good or bad.

Keen to see some decent photos, on its wheels in daylight.

This, and then some bumper coloured subtle pinstrip design onto the white roof?

Bumpers window be chromed next year.

The wrap requires to be soaked, wrapped then heated dry, it shrinks and holds tight right across the tube.

Fiberglass wrap doesn't require that treatment.
It requires regular silicone spraying, to stop it from getting too dry and fragile

Vee_Que

The bumpers are temp, I can't wait to see it with the front end fitted, once the engine starts.

Mounting the 740t oil cooler is going to be fun, but yeah, I will paint up the coach bolts too, I was mostly keen to fit the rear end up to see how it looks!

The wrap doesn't require that by instructions from the seller. And once again, used it fine on multiple cars and its tight, you always said fibreglass needs to be wet and Everything I've seen online agrees.

Remember when I got under you wagon and it was loose, and I asked if you if you wet it.

Showed you video of me finishing the wrap on my bike?

Sometimes the suggestions from the companies are far from what works.

Lots of documents online about this subject and the different installations for the specific materials.

Vee_Que

No, I don't remember, and the wagon took a section out of it by being too low.... Let's move on ;)

looking good. keen to get into mine...
