Had a bash at doing the rear drums today, after getting up at 12, spending 30 minutes getting off the siezed RXII's I started on the first drum. Painted in black hammerite, they were wire brushed down to get ride of the surface rust then painted. Looks much better than before, and I finally got round to cleaning up the arches (on the left hand side of the car lol). Hope to spend tomorrrow doing the same on the right side of the car, earlier in the day too as hammerite is a b***h to dry!

Some pics...

hammerite is a ***** to dry!

Isnt it just!

I did some bits in my bay with it last week and couldnt drive anywere until it had dried lol

Car looking spotless

Nice work on the arches mate!!

hey man, havent been on here in a while. nice update, copper grease when you put the wheels back on then

Still not lowerd? *shakes head* lol

An update is due...

Well I put an offer of £130 on the hottuning coilovers on ebay (people have said £140 was accepted) but they denied it with a counter offer of £170 (which I wont accept lol!) so i'm going to have to go for the £140 attempt. If not its going to have to be the £150

On an another purchase, i've just ordered one of these beauties to replace my black rear badge. Very cool

Sweet mate, what badge is that originally from?

Golf Mk3 VR6 Highline

Ahh, nice touch

Yes a nice little addition I thought, cost a small fortune (£25 delivered!) though but I think it will improve the rear end a bit as the black sort of clashes with the "no black" theme I have on the car!

Take some pictures when it arrives and let us see how it looks. I was looking at getting one a while back but didn't think it'd suit.

Looking good mate. She's begging to be slammed tho

No Black theme... Gah. That extra £25 could have got you those coilies!

I do like the badge though! as said by Tim, Nice touch.

I'm pretty colour blind but isn't that bonnet-bra black?

Coilovers will be purchased tonight, going to offer a normal price and nothing silly (as the paypal 15% price cut!). Oh and yes the bra is black, it would of been a pain to get a flash red one made as it was part of a group buy order. I'm not going to lie, it looks s**t but its not there to look good

Thanks for comments, it's going to really start looking good soon

Another new update...

I've just bought this little badboy, needs a bit of a clean up but I can't argue for £25 off a mate

Didn't intend on buying on but for that cost its a must have! I've just got to get the silicone piping until I can fit it. Hottuning coilovers aren't accepting my £155 so i'm having issues there, i'm in no rush though as i'm not getting them fitted until january.
