I only want white wheels, you can do what you want with the rest of the car

 

btw it's hard to follow threads like this now that the 'My Content' feature no longer works for many of us:( Any ideas what's happened Rob? Sorry a little OT

Colin working on improvements would be my guess

Stone Grey metallic looks a bit nice.

 

Paint is ordered
It might even be on the car in a couple of weeks.

They're accepted another big project so they'll want to move mine along

No progress in the last couple of weeks, trying not to hassle them too much, but also making sure I keep in contact.
I bought some replacement wheel centre cap bolts from the UK which I think will fit - they're actually from a Renault. But they sent the key without the bolts - doh!

Called in and had a chat today - bonnet is looking like new in black primer now and I've seen the paint, in a tin, looks good

They had the bumpers test fitted and there's some more metalwork to do to make them sit properly at the front. There's another repair on the front crash bar area which looked a bit untidy but I was going to leave it as it would be invisible under the grille.

So another day's work to pull that apart and fix it properly.

Oh and the car's no longer running - looks like maybe fuel pump, probably wiring as it has had a pump put on from a different car to get it going and the wiring's not the tidiest. Chances are that got damaged then they fixed the hole in the floor nearby.

Primer and stuff

 

 

 

That dodgy repair on the front

I started a Facebook page because I don't have enough build threads

I went to the garage to do some sorting out of the many quattro parts. It has been a long time since I stripped it and I've forgotten where everything is. It's labelled but not sorted.
But I ended up doing something else. The rear plastic COUPE panel from the quattro has some cracks i it, but the one from the donor GT is much better, so I decided I'd use the GT one, then noticed that the quattro one has a fog light. Swapping it over became a two hour job with a Dremel but it's in there.

Got it cut out then realised the GT one was silvered inside.

After a bit of Dremel work

Red lens glued in

Done

Found this pinned to my desk this morning, Thanks boss...

 

At least he found a British one

It's booked for more work on the 13th. Guess they're busy!
Waiting...

 

...

Just came across this on one of the urq Facebook groups. Black, bigger spoiler, white 5 spokes. Mmmm...

So hopefully Wed will be cleaning, masking up and primer!

Apparently they did quite a lot on the car yesterday. Pics are promised.

Called to look at this week's work at Just Rust. Trying not to be their most annoying customer.
Front bumper fits well now, rear is almost there.

 

I have a review car next week so I'm going to take a trip to a scrapyard 300km away to pick some bits from the three Coupe GTs they have there.

On my little road trip today I dropped my wheels off with Levin Powder Coaters.

Whats that car you are using to ferry the wheels in . and did you decide on white

It's a Honda Jazz RS that I have on test this week.

 

 

I'm quite impressed with it, and the fold-up seats give lots of room for wheels

 

As for the colour - I'll leave you in suspenders for now

 

Just dropped into Just Rust to drop off the fourth wheel, so it's not sitting on the space saver spare. They said the car is booked in for 3 days' work in two weeks, which should be enough to paint and finish!!

Excite

Steve, Rusty's previous owner called and dropped off this for me. Inspiration

Woot, we have a date. Well, I hope. Car is booked for the full week of May 30th. Assuming they work on it for the whole week it really should be done and finished.
