I'm continuing to follow your project with interest.

(Even if opening the thread does take long enough for me to go away and make a cup of tea )

Keep up the good work Shaun.

Hey Shaun
How did you fit your spoiler to your car?
I have one for my 1.4 but making my mind how to fit it.

Im surprised you didnt go for 1.8 best engine apart from HGT in my opinion. I still havnt sorted that passenger wing, but found out my paint code sticker was wrong.

Cheers

i didnt fit the spoiler, i bought the lid with it on, but ir looking to fit it, use tiger seal, best thing for it.

and asfor the engine, i bough a scrap car the same colour as mine ages ago so i can get body panels off it. and that was a 1.6 with a new clutch, my 1.4 was ****ed so i did the full 1.6 conversion and im now growing pretty fond of the thing....if i was moving onto bigger engines ill be going for better cars im afraid...

ilove the bravo but there are better things out there

right a few updates, nothing much really done as iv been on holiday

my front bumper is sorted now:

its a standard HGT front bumper, bump strips smoothed and jet sprays took out.

and a tip some one gave me to strenthen the fibreglass...expanding foam..

then cracked on with the preperation for spray..primed a few bit here and there:

and making a slow start on my interior...used a wimmy trick to smooth the mellon holder:

car is getting booked in at the body shop to have my rear arches flared out to match the front as iv got HGT arches and got a full set of injectors on order so will be fitting them next weekend hopefully have the car sprayed in time for the next show

reet boys and girls...

the final picture of my front bumper fully done and guide coated ready for wet flatting...

and now for the rear arches which iv beenw aiting for ages!!

i had the rear arches flared to match the front, so now the HGT/Marea arches dont stand out as much

and also started a bit on my interior...filling the melon holder


CHEESSSEEEE

thats all tillt he weekend
