[brum,brum,mike]

any updates?!

[v-tec van]

Big update coming up...........

I picked the van up from the painters last week, appart from a polish the paint is complete.

I wanted to wait until the car was fully painted before i put pictures up on here so not to spoil the suprise...

here it is ................





























































ill do an update of all the stuff thats gone on since August..

[v-tec van]

the van came back from having the inside painted at the end of August.. We had the inside painted first because when we trial fitted the doors with no cage in the doors wouldnt fit...







next step was putting the dynamat in

[v-tec van]

Before the frame went in for the last time i wanted to paint the engine and tidy things up..










after eveything was de-greased i etch primed it then painted it in aluminium silver colour





next was the rocker cover. etch primed , primed , then painted car colour

[v-tec van]

<sub>Once all the roll cage was cleaned and polished i put it all back together





Now the frame was back in we could start again on the doors.. Putting the frame back in lined the doors up again but the gaps were too close with the paint on.. it was mainly the front bottom corner of the window where it was close so out came the grinder and welder......









all done</sub>

Loving the build mate.

How did I not come accross this build before.

Looks amazing, will be keeping a eye on this build and be waiting to see the finished product.

The front had the number plate and grill fitted then the car went back to the painters





when the car is back together it will go for a final polish at the painters.













Ive also bought my own sandblaster and powder coating kit so all of the brackets etc can be powder coated as and when i need them instead of sending stuff out and having to wait on other people.

just in the process of making a new headlining which needs to go in first so updates should be more frequent from now on..


cheers
