1992 GT2 Project

[Rascal]

Well, nearly there! I've been a busy boy this weekend putting it back together, only thing left is the body kit to go on, and going to start that tomorrow night

here's some pictures from today, not the best quality as I don't have a flash, but hey ho...

Mirror back on



Drivers door glass in



New badge on the boot



Rear glass in and crap sticker from heritage on, recommend you never get these, way to short!



same for the other side



Up off the floor so I can get the kit on



got a bit trigger happy with the under seal on the new door skin, not wanting that bill again!



And lastly the doors built back up again :)



that's all for now, if i make progress tomorrow ill try my best to get pictures:)

looking good man! what's been done? full respray?

Apparently the b-pillar stickers are shorter because the need to be stretched when you put them on.. Don't know if this is the case though. I bought the same trims but I didn't end up using them.

[Rascal]

Cheers! Yeah full respray, I just wish the guy who painted it, painted the b pillars aswell so I could ditch the stickers, wounder why they don't just make it that 3 mm longer! Anyway later in the year I will be replacing them, tried before work today to get the wheels on but they are hitting the coil overs :(, so need longer wheel bolts first then will try again with more spacers, then knowing my luck they will stick out too far and hit the arch, lets hope not, I'll update with more pictures of what I get done tonight :)

[bengould]

Is the camber right? You might find if it is too far off the wheels will hit the coilovers but when adjusted correctly they will clear.

Wheels are vertical, tiniest bit but not enough for it to be solid against the spring :(

[mark1gls]

What size wheels and tyres do you have?

[Rascal]

Ronal turbo, 15 " 7j et37 with 195 45 15 on them :)

[Rascal]

Didn't get much done tonight, too tired, plan is on the road on Saturday!
only got the drivers side arches screwed into place, no glue yet, hopefully get most of the rest on tomorrow night :)

[Rascal]

Well put the front parts on, then was having an overall check with the inspection lamp for fit mint, and it's exactly where it should be, first time, thinking this could be easyer than I thought! Was away to get the glue ready, then looked at the top lip on the arch on the kit, and there's not enough paint on them! RAGE! so I've took them all off in the early hours of this morning, they are getting collected today and returned tommorow, don't properly this time! It was clear with more light how bad it was, and it's on a very visible part of the car, if your not going to do a job right, don't do it at all! It was clear they painted them upside down because the inner lip that goes in the arch had a perfect finish to it, So that's now holding me up! So I'll get more pictures and give an update when I've got them all back on and in place, tonight plan is to service the engine as I've got nothing else I can do in the meantime!

[Rascal]

The wait is Nearly over! got al the bits back, and put most of it on!
first, new plugs



next up put the wheels on, still on axle stands, looks like they might hit the arch :(



put on with these!! need to cut the back ones down



then i got the arches back WOOOOOOHOOOOOO :D

only took pictures of this arch but all the same process as this, Sikaflex on then tied tight with rope and wood, mask to protect paint





You know its close when you put the plates on!!!



will hopefully have pictures of a complete car tomorrow, thanks for looking
