My Projects thread

I know where im sending the Audi when it needs repainting then!!

Top work Nick!!

Awesome attention to detail Nick, car is looking immense if I do say so. The way you do every job to perfection is just outstanding.

I'm trying to take a leaf out of your book from that perspective, to get anywhere near as good standard would please me no end.

Top work :thumb:

Update time. One thing I always thought was a great look on novas is painted wheelarches I just could never be bothered to do it! So anyway I got myself into gear and cracked on. 3 coats of hammerite followed by a finishing coat of ferrari red bodycolour gave the result I was after......

They took a while to do as said but Im really happy with the finished articles :)

Constantly amazed my the quality of this car, makes me wonder whether I've got to step up the quality of my build

Also another idea Ive had is to remove my false floor and paint the back out like Ive seen on martin kelsons etc. But as Im not going all out for a fuel cell etc yet I needed something to fill the spare wheel hole. So a fifth speedline was sourced and prepared and painted.....

I'll tyre it up once the back of the car is finished then I know It'll get used and not just sit in the loft! :)

I also acquired two used but good cond vauxhall flashers as mine were found to be non genuine and obviously would help things when I come to line the front end up etc. After a jet wash and a blow dry they were as good as new.....

One part that has continued to elude me for the past few years I came by the other week at sensible money. Thanks to matt and Big chap for their input with this. Its was a bit scratched and dull but I can soon sort that out!

This went to work and was sanded down to remove any imperfections whatsoever then I took it down the wet and dry grades finally finishing in 3000 and polishing it up...

Painted inner arches look the business mate! You going to fire a back ARB in there as well ?

Trust you to spot that Vaughan, is there anything you don't notice?
