Ha ha Grind it ....

I read, not good

only minor....will try the springs as they are first, just to try...then brake out the grinder...lol

on a positive ive just sorted a drivers side wing mirror to replace the broken one.....just a bit of paint/rust removal....and the dent in the door and ill be happy body wise

Mint .... ;-)

might try the wheels on one side on suday...just for shits and giggles...need to measure and figure out spacers to get the stance spot on

gotta order some wheel nuts as i need skinny tuner style nuts and i left em on the mr2....

any suggestions for a reasonable cost etc??

This project is picking up pace rapidly!

I have faith that this is going to be sick

dude i went over to the scrappy today to get those other bits but in the process of me doing so i split one of them! your just gonna have to spray them! it was a bitch to get them out so be careful when you have to do yours to spray them.

no worries mate...dont suppose you know whether that lude is 2ws or 4ws???


if its 2ws i want the bits so i can jack the 4ws

are those the bits you need? ^ i can have a look but im not gonna be goin over there this weekend but i'll check it for you when i do.

just a random thought being as you dont want to dump it on coilovers why dont you bag it then when you get to a meet or whatever you can just drop that bitch like its hot!

i dont mind coilys....rocked em on the vtr and a couple of golfs....they aint the cheapest though...maybe after my holiday?

thats the bits bud.....if its there when u go back have a look see

bagged lude = win

bagged lude = nuff $$

true story

only one i can find...i know there was a black one back in the day on a rayvern kit

lol

90's cars....dont you just love em....chrome rims and lexarse lights

shit needs some neons haha

i know the chaps from rayvern, were mates with lee at rimz.inc before it closed down, its based not far from where i live, somewhere theres a pic of my lude at modified nationals with rayvern hydraulics' green slammed chevvy next to it

spent the morning trying to reset the 4ws....no win...its going in the bin soon as i get hold of the bits, on the plus side i found an alpine cd changer wire hidden under the carpet...can somebody say ebay....

also sorted out the routing for the amp wires and the ipod lead position...

spent the afternnon doing laundry and splittin the SSR's ....











ive bought my ghetto refurb bits...but fancy gettin em sand blasted/bead blasted then powder coated

4 questions....

anyone know a place for sandblasting???

is it safe to powdercoat magnesium??

anyone know anywhere for powdercoating??

what colour??

IMO

Nitromorse

Spray them yourself (laquer well)

Any colour will work with black, just dont do black or red or green actually, maybe go for a abstract colour, like a pearl/flip colour

they were black...lol

got the nitro and some wire brushes...i did em 2yrs back but fancied powder coating as a long lasting solution...ill go diy...

was actually gonna go either black or red....lol

may do old school silver/gunmetal

see if someone can ps them for you, black on black looks nice especially with a drop!
