Engine bay is coming on nicely Trix.
The plates do look a bit square rather than rectangular, but that's a quick fix and the reg. itself is spot on.
I'm going out tomorrow with some different numbers to try on the car before I settle on plates this time round
undecided on just changing the rear one or what I'm doing :lol:
Looking good. The trick to NHB is lots of wax to minimise the wash times!
I completely forgot to say when I spotted it; your front badge is actually just the facelift grill without a badge. That's how it's shaped underneath the badge, somebody has just painted it. One of the previous owners has clearly put a lot of time into this car, a full facelift front end is a big undertaking.
I think I can guess what colour your brakes are going, fine choice :lol:. Hammerite in that colour works great. Also, in case you are painting other things, Nissan intense **** pearl works really well with NHB.
Yes it is a very much loved car which is exactly what I was looking for, she's been loved by the owner before me for 4 years... his dad owns a bodyshop or something and resprayed it 9 months ago as well.
Nice to know about the badge - I've had people ask me, and I just say *shrug* :lol:
ahh thanks for the tips on paint
- it's still a while away... currently feel like she's put together pretty well now so I don't feel so antsy to do stuff to her now.
I defo have a list of things I want to do though...
Think the next few things are, tyres, brakes, painting stuff (rocker cover, calipers and such), tegiwa intake
Went away for a drive with her near and about St. Mary's loch today... so nice to finally just relax and enjoy my car properly :smt055
A few issues though... my lights keep getting condensation in them and it looks terrible... drill a hole?
Aaaaaand my rubber bit around my passenger window (at the top) got jammed up with the window going up and is now twisted and stuck... (terrible explanation :lol
tried to pull it out and sort it, but it doesn't want to go back into place now
will get a photo up to explain tomorrow...
