Pretty fuckin awesome stuff goin on here.

I really miss Ireland, I wanna move back

Thanks mate, you wouldn't want too now, check the weather online...

Spectacular.

Thats awesome !

yesssss! So awesome.

And she is home, now to build the bumper and have it primed by Tuesday night, not happy, don't like deadlines...



Phatty :

So I decided to make a start on the front bumper, as per usual I had to make room, got my priorities right though, saved the axle stand for the king size Toblerone


I did however use them for the front :


I had some temporary brackets already pop riveted on to give an idea of the task ahead :


However the heights just were not right so I had to cut and space it at the side, again I got out the green oasis foam for some general shaping and starting to get a top coat of fibreglass on the front to hold the shape, the reinforcement will happen at the back but if you look at the bottom of the bumper the line now looks level and proper... Still have to roll my front wings, its never ends...

Yeah my people in Cork are not pleased!

I love the bumper work. Do you remove the foam after the fibreglass has hardened? Are you gonna lay more fibre in the back then or something else?

I was down there, not as badly hit as Limerick I'm afraid

Cheers dude, I do lad, I shave it down and leave a light coat. Yep I'll reinforce it at the back also

So got up at 5am this morning, loaded the car onto the trailer and set off for Dublin, only 130miles but at 80kph it was a long enough spin... Anyways on the good side, got it to MG Crash Crash Repairs where Mark will be painting the engine bay and interior (rollcage) for me as I'm a fussy f**ker. The RX8 was feeling a little intimidated by one of Mark's RB S15's ha, ha, his workshop is awesome, 2 x RB S15's, 2JZ Altezza, and my favourite the Escort Cosworth to name but a few. On the home stretch now

Thanks very much dude

So I haven't posted an update on this in a while, been busy with the RX7 and of course getting the other RX8 So Mark from MG Crash Repair sent me on these pic's of the car today, the interior and bay have been fully finished in Toyota 040 Super White, I think it looks awesome and I cannot wait to see it in the metal

[Concon666]

Yeeeeeah boyyyyy

[Kruizer]

Yeeeeeah boyyyyy

So Mark sent on the previous picutres on Sunday when he finished painting the car, Monday after work, I packed herself and the dogs into the car and 130miles later we were in MG Crash Repairs. As herself is managing Team Chihuahua on fb she was good enough to take a few quick pic's of how the car turned out, the colour is so bright, I have to say what he was given compared to what he is returning, there is no comparison. I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Sneaky pic of myself and Mark chatting about the drift scene, dunno where Paul (Also a very fella to talk too, can see why he is liked so much in the scene) disappeared too


Romeo even climbed into his car for a pic, needs a booster seat though


And just two random shots with effects thrown on, kinda like her without sideskirts



Next stop, Gripfab
