Preperation for USC!!

[Shaun Cook]

just a few minor (********) mods and preperations for USC next weekend

i had a mate buff the car for me ass some of the marks from the wet flat was coming through. looked mint after it.

there are a few minor things which i havent pictured yet but ill try my best once its all 100% done or ill atleast get some at the show next week.

1stly my interior, a bought allt he little chrom dials to break the black up, think it works well...

i do now how ever have a new steering wheel and should have my airbag cover this week i hope just intime for USC.

then a little moderation for the boys! alfa 156 bonnet lifter fit with some persuation

and been cleaning again, used Autoglym machine and engine cleaner

sprayed on and power washed off

and went scrap yards to buy a few covers which went missing somehow

an d picked these bad boys up for £5

i wanted something to smooth the big break from sideskirts to back bumper as my back bumper isnt done yet and wont be till winter. thinks it looks better.

also did an oil change and will be finishing a few bits like wheels tomorrow....got a little suprise witht hem bad boys cant wait

what do u think of the progress?

Hey Shaun
Looks good, Ive always fancied some of those dash dial surrounds.

Have you painted the rear arches? I have a new bumper to fit on mine so im going to paint the rear arches behind the bumper and the rear underside/subframes. If it ever stops raining

Nice leather wheel Rear mud flaps are perfect.

How are the coilovers and CDA?

 

[Shaun Cook]

car is now done, will get some pictures later

as for the wheels arches, no, i just cleaned them up and underneath all the dirt and mud is the black rust proof. the coloivers are around £500 brand new but i picked them up from a member on here very cheap and asfore the BMC £150 new but picked it up cheap from a member off here.

i fitted chrome dial surrounds on saturday just gone, amongst other bits and pieces, but, im extremely pi**ed off as the rings for the petrol and temp gauges dont fit!!!
yours however, seem to fit flawlessly! GRR! lol

i love how the car has come on, its looking awesome!
