If you havnt been following the ongoing saga this far it may be too late to start haha but long story short if they completly fucked the car f8rst time around and were not much better second time. Took it to my proper mechanic and he sorted most of the issues. still a few more to go haha.

[evo-gsr]

I have been following the saga...but didnt realise it was the same fucktards that built the head.

[Hyper_Mike]

Yea mate, super sad face

Just hope one day soon I can afford to have it pulled back down and rebuilt properly!

Hey Mike, that sucks massive mate. I'll video mine, as its pretty much the same car and you can show those f%!k wits what it should sound like. Idea?

Your engine is spot on Ian, sounds quiet, pulls like freight train

[Hyper_Mike]

Yea man that would be great. I am so disappointed in my engine, actually no, im disappointed in the shit head mechanics who cant do their jobs! Even my valve cover is now starting to leak oil everywhere

[White Knight]

Lol benny, she pulls harder than a 15yr old watching his first porno!!!!! Sounds like a mechanic saw a young guy with a jap import..... Not cool at all.
Pm me a mobile number and I'll try and send you a vid tomorrow, I'm not sure how to condense photos and vids for upload onto the forum.
Cheers Mike.

Also another shot I took this morning before I started working on it

 

[Hyper_Mike]

I did a little DIY today. The front bumper was down to the plastic and the wheel arch was badly faded. Down to Inspirations Paint on the Gold Coast and had my paint mixed. Here are some pics

 

 

Step one : Wash the panel, then wet and dry sand

 

 

Cleaned the panel, then went over it with Wax and grease remover. Masked it up and went over it with a microfiber and a tack cloth.

 

1st Coat :

 

 

2nd coat:

 

 

3rd coat :

 

 

4th coat :

 

 

Final coat :

 

 

Then repeat process on the wheel arch/flare

 

Original :

 

 

1st coat :

 

 

Final Coat :

 

 

Both panels finished and looking awesome! Really happy with the paint and it blended well

 

FINISHED :
