Enjoy ïŠ
ay, so not much to update.
Car is just sat on the drive really while I wait eagerly for payday so I can get the Rust bitch in the body shop to weld in the core support and weld in some new arches!
- Mainly just getting little shit things done in the evenings while its off the road
so i've:
# Done a small wire tuck on the engine and light harnesses
# JDM'd the rear tail lights as well as all four working with the brakes
# stripped out the interior and secured all the rattly shit. took seats out etc.
# Put on my nice clean bonnet ready for paint
# cleaned the engine (rocker -that im going to paint, and cleaned up the inlet mani and injectors)
Heres some standing pics
Some more stuff done today.
Got manifold of and exhaust off so I could clean up the block and get a lick of paint on it. Because I think it looks gash if you paint the rocker and have a dirty block :wotnana:
Pics of Progress:
Block reasonably clean
New Primer for the Rocker (this is going to be yella!
C & C welcome
So this is what I got done today. Gave car a clean too. Fucking leaves
Oh and P.s. before someone comments, the rocker cover is still to be painted. Just primered atm.
[color="#FF0000"]Today's Progress:[/color]
So I got some yellow paint and set to coating the rocker cover after a hard night out and morning at work :wotnana:
1st Coat
My entertainment to save my paint watching
Nearly done
Back on engine (note, this hasn't had lacquer yet
Thanks for looking :tdvtec:
So I decided to clean up the NSII's before they go to get refurbed and repainted so I can see the extent of the scuffs etc. JUST need one more now; if anyone has one for me, let me know
Also my lip has arrived. Will get a pic up when the old man brings it back from work.
:thumbs:
So after snapped two bolts on the fuel rail assembly, I needed a replacement inlet. Luckily a local mate had one selling. Cheers Chris
In my cold garage I cleaned it up and some paint.
Wings repaired, arches, bonnet,bumper flattened, and lip fitted
I apologise for the pics. The only way to get them half decent was to take a picture of the picture on my Iphone as my dad owns a rubish camera phone with no USB and no Bluetooth!
Both arches flattened and ready for primer tomorrow:
Bonnet flatted and ready for primer:
Wings repaired as there was a little bit of bubbling on the arch (I didn't even ask them to do it lol)
Bumper flattened and Spoon lip fitted
Thanks for looking C & C welcome
[color="#FF0000"]More progress. Paint on Tuesday[/color]
Again, I apologise for the quality of the pics.
So a little list of things to do once I get the car back and once payday comes around.
1. Buying a full centre exhaust and cutting and welding that to fit my twinloop and decat.
2. Buy some clear black headlights but keeping clear indicator lights.
3. Then get the car insured
4. Once I get a 4 th and final sparco NSII I'll be refurbing them and getting them on the car.
Then I'll be concentrating on the suspension and stability before the swap
Okay so another update on this. My rear bumper is feecked since the last owner cut a hole for his fast and furious exhaust lol. My dad said he did not want to do all the paint just to have it let down by this bumper which also has bad paint scratches lol.
Sooo I'm getting replacement rear bumper and replacing that too . paint today and fitting and polishing after
All the car is ready for paint. unfortunately not done today, but what did get done was my spoon (replica) lip fitted to the bumper
Thanks for looking!! :thumbs:
[color="#000000"]PAINT!!!![/color]
Here are some sneak preview photos
Bumper is still yet to be painted. So happy! Cannot wait till next friday everything will be done and I'll have here insured and back on the road

Moved out with my girl and did not end well. you no the story guys im sure.
anyway build is back on track
Bumper and Bonnet on:
and my recent progress on some undersealing:
Also have some temp bucket seats (bit gash black and blue but better than stock and too cheap to pass up)
So this is where I am at currently. Will be obtaining more parts before it goes to my Dads body shop for revamp (Core support and arches and DC2 Spoiler)
Some more work on the arches i got done after work today as it was cool and needed something therapeutic to chill me out
.That's the driver's front and rear done.
Then the same evening I come across these which a local good friend was selling, which I snapped up at a good price there and then.
Pic from in the boot
262's with calipers hubs, disk (going to replace with 282s and the mountings).
will be a nice easy swap.
These will be refurbed and cleaned up, fitted with new brake lines, pads and discs.
What I got done today:
1. Dismantled Callipers and discs from hubs
2. Cleaned Hubs and top ball joints, arms etc, and also calipers
3. Hamerited the Hubs, arms and joints
Pics of my progress. Calipers are going to be [COLOR="Yellow"]Yellow[/COLOR]
Cleaned:
Painted (though I will be putting on another coat):
Plans for the brakes
282 Discs 4x100 so prob MG ZR -S Grooved Disc
Aaaaaand Im going to start a search for NSX calipers
next is to get all of my body parts together before I take the car to my dads garage.
1. DC2 Spoiler
2 x2 Rear Arches
3. Core Support

I Apologise how grainy the pictures are. Im only using a 8mp phone camera. I really need something better, but I hope these show a better portrait of the car.
Thanks guys. Next thing Im doing Is sorting the front end out. The bumper mount has dropped due to a bump the previous owner has had.
For the moment since having the car I've:
1. Took off the but ugly wing
2. changed the Timing belt and water pump (as the pump had it, and the belt was hella loose)
3. Today I cleaned out the IACV to resolve my fluctuating idle problem.
...and as I said a trip to the body shop is next.
