been planning it in my head for weeks now but ive finaly gone and started it! its also my first go and playing with fibreglass
all ive done so far is build the wooden base. original plan was to build over the spare wheel but i changed my ideas so that I can still have access. dont wanna get stuck with a puncture its essential to have a nice system in a car but if its in a car that doesnt move, its pointless .
anyway, piccies
Nice big empty boot
Carpet removed
The new floor cut to shape using the carpet as a template
floor in place
Drawing out the template for the spare wheel
spare wheel hole cut out!
extra brackets to hole the wheel cover in place
the floor and the wheel in place. lovely jubbly
The backboard cut and bolted in nicely
first wall cut and put into place
and the second wall! install base complete!
and look, i can still get to the spare wheel
right, now im off to go and seal the base. wont post anymore pictures untill the fibreglass is in well maybe some just before i start it heh.
I love it when you add something simple to your car and it completly changed the look of it!
Love this spoiler!
BIG THANKS to Ben R for doing the spraying for me and helping me out with some stuff! PERFECT job as usual
so what does everyone think?
Just a few pics I took with the good old SLR the otherday in tescos car park the actual photos look so much better as my scanners pretty basic. also added a piccy of the sky on the same night on the end! gorgeous
tipo is no debadged aswell.
last pic of the tipo is slightly out of focus though nevermind
just had a few probs with the car and have been fixing it this morning.. car cut out on me completly on the way home and i had to get my mum out to tow me! scary stuff ).. worked out there wasnt a spart so thought it could have been the ignition coils but ive had experience with them going so i kinda ruled that out. turns out after fiddling and tweeking wires that the previous owner got the immobilizer installed by a complete monkey. I dont think theres a single wire behind the dash that hasnt been cut and put back together. its a complete mess behind there with loads of odd wires hanging around etc. turnsout one of the resoldered wires had come loose which was cutting the power to the ecu. all sorted now though
