Ok, here is somewhat of an update.

I ordered everything i need for the swap now, basically just a bunch of gaskets and a few other goodies.

For the time being i have been doing some painting and aesthetic work to the car to get it looking smick. The improve the look of the car i have decided to go textured over colour coded because i felt that the full red look was a tad overwhelming and the textured strips would break up the red nicely. Now this unfortunately was a problem as i had sold all of my textured bumpers and what not... so i had to source them myself which was annoying and money comsuming...

alas i only had to get a rear as who ever owned the car before me decided that painting a texture top will look fine and noone will notice...

So i gave the top of my bumper a light sand and spray canned it matte black.

I used my old math notes as masking paper because they are not needed anymore.



Sitting on saw horses.



Coat 1



Coat 2, let it sit over night.



Finished product unmasked and what not.



It looks better than i thought it would, granted there are some pretty terrible drip lines due to sitting like it was but i think it looks good

I also sat outside for like three hours sanding down the rear bumper whilst listening the Js. I got he bumper of foff, it feels wrong sanding back that lovely windsor blue for crappy red...

I sanded it back with 400 grit,

before



after



Gave it a nice matte, a few bits i still need to go over again in this photo. They have been done since then.

I also pulled apart the whole front end for a bit of an overdue update do dual chamber headlights and some other this's and that's.



Notice you can see all three of my shells in this photo...

I also painted the rear badge matte black.

Masked and painted, didn't get any real before pictures because it was late at night and this area is unlit so the photos would turn out poopy.



Masking tape off and dried all that jazz.



There is bit of overspray from where i got past the tape but ain't care.

Here's a photo of my cat enjoy being outside.



Here's a close up photo of the graveyard..



I also have lots of lipstick prints on my car inside and out, i think it was from tuesday when i was deso at friends 17th...



Anyway, i have to go work now. I'll have full picks of how the car looks monday or so mostly..

Dude the stock exhaust would make more power than that thing.

Why has it been flatten so much over the rear beam?

[Smeeeb]

ok photos are fixed, they really should stop changing websites so much.

Because it's a 2 and a half inch pipe and it came off a very low golf...

Who cares what it looks like. I know for a fact it sounds awesome ...and who said anything about power? It's going on a 2.0, not really a powerhouse.

****, i don't know how i got home. **** was crazy, some random black people came from next door then took me to get kebabs and we ended up climbing this giant christmas tree and stealing the star off the top.

Hey there,

Listen to this.

So i finished painting, it turned out better than i expected. The colour match is almost perfect for the fact that is $3 bunnings paint that i didn't even try to match just grabbed the brightest red i could.

Sanded.



Primed, this was after the second coat, some good sanding and then prepsoled ready for paint.



After three layers of paint.



And the result, and complete finished product of the painting. I am happy with the outcome, it only looks bad up real close. Apart from that it's good.





I also played around with my new camera on full manual and shot my dad welding up some parts of the trailer...



Pretty chuffed with how it turned out.

Also if you are into hardcore at all you should buy this album, it's awesome and hasn't left my car since i bought it. They are also an awesome band to see live, the lead singer is actually mental.



Till next time.
