No thanks i have some big Brembo 4pot things waiting to go on. And they will be blue like the ones i already have. Be rude not to as i have the paint already!!
 
I have other plans but we will leave them for another update.

At the moment its interior and soon exterior.

Back to proper car modding soon.
 
This is not directly related to my car. But i had another busy weekend working on the spray booth. Its been a lot 0of effort getting it this far. And its a joint venture myself and a friend have built it and shared the cost. Chris my friend used to work in the car body industry. And he wanted the facility to help paint friends cars and bikes. Mostly track/race bikes and cars. And my car will be first to be done obviously.

Still a few weekends work left to do. We need to make a door. Insulate and board up the out side wall. Hang the lights and fit the big extraction fans. And paint the floor and one of the walls.

So Mat yoir goin for a FULL respray for the monkey mobile?
What colour you thinking off and if different its gonna be a lot of work to strip and paint, i was quoted 5k as was gonna get mine painted Essx white. Lol

It wont be RESCISSION White I can promise you that!! It wont be silver but a gray colour as my friend Chris has the paint already. Not afraid of a bit of hard work and it wont be costing me 5k!! But i can see why a full respray costs a lot of cash. Its a lot of work...
 
Spray booth is looking great Mat, Top job by the looks of it well done. :thumbsup:

Bet you cant wait to get it all sprayed up now
 
So another little update. I managed to spend a few hours working on the booth Saturday. Its now so close i recon 1 full day and it will be ready to use. So the wall is now insulated and boarded on the outside i also got a paint brush out and started painting. The last few jobs will be struggle on my own so i am waiting for my buddy Chris to help.

So i wanted the car finished by the end of March. But what with this taking longer and life getting in the way!! My wife even wants to spend time with me!! And my mum is moving house so that will no doubt keep me busy for a while!! That deadline is very unlikely :headbang: :( so lets say the end of April!!!

In other news i brought my first pressure washer Saturday. It has enriched my life in was i didn't know possible!! And i now feel like a real grown up man not a boy!!
 
MM you could rent this space y'know - i need an indoor spot to fully detail my car, polishing in the sun/rain/cold/hot isn't ideal.
 
That could be possible. But to be honest its at a mates house he probably wont want loads of people turning up.

There is no water at the barn either :( Witch makes getting a tea or coffee a right pain in the bum.

Out of interest how much to rent a space to clean your own car? We could supply polishing equipment as well possibly??
 
Mate, cracking job si far on the seats!! Never saw that before! Great effort!

AND you are making a booth!? Thats real toy territory!! Good lad! We gotta catch up sometime :thumbsup:
