[sr20bud]

loving that matt black on that golf i defo think you should go down the matt black route something you never see on a k10 (Y)

 

[gtsnissanb]

oh i have just seen this online...

Actually looks nice! so should look better with the SS kit on it!

Yep you've regained my faith in the paint! Love the red interior pillars!
Oh I don't think it's a ss kit I'm fitting? I'll put some pics up in a sec

 

[gtsnissanb]

Cheers mate
The cutting discs arrived today so can get cutting the arches out again get all the wide arches on
An I can remove the flange from the escort manifold as I got bored with the hack saw

 

[gtsnissanb]

The twins

Rear bumper

My missus is going mad lol

I think the bumpers are foah but I've no ideas on the skirts but they are an amazing fit! I can literally push them on and go for a drive (albeit a gentle drive) it's like they clip on! You don't get body kits with that type of fitment now a days! I just sold my first s14 body kit as the fit was so awful I couldn't be arsed getting it to fit

Edit: wouldn't you know it without looking at the link have a guess who used to own a k10 with this kit

[gtsnissanb]

I've just realised I can use 200sx words for this
I've got a k10a kouki

My cheap 10 quid polishing kit turned up today! Didn't expect much but wow!! I had a little play with one of my unpainted wheels, polished up the grey lip! And now I'm thinking polished lip green centre!! Black centre would look sweet but too common
After mop 1 and grit 1

After mop 2 and grit 2

After mop 3 and finishing grit

Not to bad for a tenner couple hours work and an old drill!

Nice hot day for it too!
If anyone wants a link to the site I got the kit from let me know!

 

[gtsnissanb]

Finished one wheel and compared to my last idea this is fantastic I'm really happy with the results!
All for £10 near enough
See for yourself
Old idea

New

I may have to do this to my exhaust ports
And it's definitely happening to the rocker cover!

 

[sr20bud]

yeah man thats sweet as (Y) looks well better than the black lip. and for £10 i say thats a bargain

Would have been a lot easier to just paint it chrome but that's cheating! Plus the extra elbow grease makes the shine better

 

[gtsnissanb]

Also just to show i didn't half ass it this time

Just 3 more to go

 

[karlj]

(Y) looks good

 

[gtsnissanb]

(Y) looks good

Cheers mate

 

[gtsnissanb]

Time for wheel 2 only gonna get it polished as I really can't be arsed today

Before and after shot there

Not bad for rims from 1982!

Cant use spray lols, would look terrible. its a long haul but it would be worth it!

 

[tomeyers]

Link for the polishing kit please mate!! I wish I could get hold of some cheap 13s to paint and polish. Would love to get the steelies banded but money does not permit!

I used the first kit but as you can see you can go as far as you want! I'm happy with my results always worth getting some wet and dry and work down the grades to start off before you mop it to get an awesome finish

[gtsnissanb]

Not posted on here for a while so I'll update, nothing done
I have however removed the flange from the escort manifold to weld to my mani but I'm wondering how to mount it?? On the escort mani it seems to be side mounted? So top middle or bottom?? Currently I'm thinking top mount!! just need to fix my welder lol
Also bought a new angle grinder off eBay £10 didn't expect much managed to remove the flange but on the last cut it set on fire internally!! 10 minutes on and off usage and it burned!! Piece of junk! Imagine if I'd started the cills I'd be furious if only got ten minutes out of it! Also these are sold by other people I believe halfords budget angle grinder is the same one

 

[gtsnissanb]

Body kit painted

 

[Daniel]

Looking like some good progress mate (Y). Can't wait to see it when it's all finished :grinning:. Love the BMW alloys too, they look pukka in that colour (Y)

 

[gtsnissanb]

Cheers mate need to pin stripe the bumpers then start the cars actual body work! Then I can fit these

 

[Daniel]

Are you going for matt black all over? With the only being the green/chrome alloys? If so, that will look sweet (Y)

[Shaun]

You are gonna have such a pain in the backside with this. at least it won't be as bad as when Mckenziecz and myself attacked his MR2.

Those polished rims look amazing! How do you then protect them from chips and rust etc? I was wanting to have a polished finish on my wheels but was talked out of it on the forum?

Car is great btw, great read!
