well the thing is done and its quiet now.
seems like i need new rack boots as well under there. and my front seal is leaking. dammit for going under there

and now all i can hear is diff noise. awesome.
my front end needs some work. and my back end. does it ever end. too much talking about ends needing work. fuck i worry me.

Just get everything new and do it all at once. I did that to my vacationer back in 2010, new engine, manual conversion, new suspension, bushes, joints, brakes, new dash, new exhaust and extractors etc. Was like a new car when I did it all at once.

yeah. the rear will be done that way VSH.
ie: remove k-frame. VY frame, not VX series one cambernater of death, reco 3.46 diff, bushes everywhere, rotors, rebuilt calipers, new driveshafts. etc. good until the zombie apocalypse.

fuck. aug 14, slack cunt. i havent been on here much due to working my asshole clean off, and, doing some retro computing shit.

anyway. to date while i am on forced contractor scumbag unpaid leave i have
1. replaced her VX 2002 Z bar bushes ; they were chopped out. noted that the engine mounts are fucked while i am under there. gareth i have a job for you, not doing that shit on the ground
2. i've swapped the doors and shit on the track car and started finishing off painting the rest of it ; and fixing dents

so there were some dents here

then it got some paint on there

then it got some CLEAR on there

and then it started to look more silver


just need some more silver bits. like bumpers and bonnet.

started on the other side. i had a fair old dent to bog up just above the wheel arch. so thats sorted now.

panel is sanded just gotta feather the filled bits and get them sorted ; will get it done tomorrow.

hello from the other side
so fixed some dents

bit of hi fill for this side

coat of primer

coat of color

clear .... to follow later on.

Is it just me, or is that 9 photos and no reference?
Looking good though, nearly Vlad spec, although will be interesting to see what it looks like after the first track day

and with clear


reference. remember i am a cheap root.

vlad spec - no chance. i didn't use acetone, although, my work does look better than the factory paint am on the lookout for some NOS stuff to ; might have to restore it though

was only saying to a mate today has been a really good learning experience, to bare metal with 40 grit, then, up to 240, 360 then 800 and then primer hi fill paint and clear. i have some things to repair on my other VX which, isn't near as daunting now.
