Title: Project mk3
Post by: nezzi21 on 25 January 2015, 00:23
Had my mk3 for just over a year now, Wife actually bought me it last xmas! Had a few issues with keys being lost etc but all sorted now. So here is how I got it last year:

(http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/nezzi21/1520750_717900704888788_1837693822_n_zpsadc6063d.jpg) (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/nezzi21/media/1520750_717900704888788_1837693822_n_zpsadc6063d.jpg.html)

I had plenty of plans for it which are all starting to take shape now. Mainly VR6 conversion, recaro's, respray, coilovers and wheels. So far the car has had a few sets of wheels bought for it:

(http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/nezzi21/IMAG0384_zpsc858659a.jpg) (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/nezzi21/media/IMAG0384_zpsc858659a.jpg.html)

These have all been sold now, As i have just bought a set of BBS RC041/042 which will be getting refurbed ASAP. I decided that the arch trims had to go, suspected that there might be rot underneath and i wasnt wrong:

Car is now away to get all this cut out and replaced then repainted. Had been toying with the idea of painting it Mitsibushi Evo Graphite Grey but think i am going to stay with the Mystic blue with some added pearl. I just this morning picked up an interior ( minus the front seats ):

(http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/nezzi21/Interior1_zpscfa3a494.jpg) (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/nezzi21/media/Interior1_zpscfa3a494.jpg.html)

(http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/nezzi21/Interior2_zps5101d9af.jpg) (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/nezzi21/media/Interior2_zps5101d9af.jpg.html)

This was before i got a chance to clean it, came up very well. Just need a couple of small bits and some front seats to finish off the interior. And that is pretty much where the car is up to at the minute, with any luck it should be back and painted mid-end Febuary.

Comments welcome

Post by: nezzi21 on 25 January 2015, 00:44
Seat rims are gone but wish i hadnt sold them as they are really nice wheels for the mk3. But with this just being a weekend car can go with something a bit nicer. The RC's are 17x7.5 & 17x8.5, still need to get some adaptors but will sort that after paint.

Finally picked up my wheels, already split so saves me a bit of hassle, though i need to take the odd sized tyres off! Anyway here are some pictures with the centres just placed on top of the barrels.

Starting to get there with the wheels, still a fair bit of work to go with them right enough.

Should have a few more pictures as the week goes on, he is also cleaning up the underside and applying fresh underseal as well as pumping some wax oil into the sills etc. Forgot to mention to him to roll the arches for me, so he wasnt best pleased when i called this morning. Still better now than when they are painted! Decided i dont have the time to get the wheels all polished up in decent time so they are getting dropped off at Dougie @ Trix on Saturday.

Post by: nezzi21 on 02 March 2015, 23:26
Well its finally painted! Popped in today to see how it was coming along and to my surprise the painter had decided to come in over the weekend and paint it. Had only just finished wet sanding it when i went in so needs a clean then polished!

Had a play about with the wheel i started polishing:

Well wheels were too pitted to get them properly polished on my own, Luckily Ed very kindly offered to help me out:

Not polished but a lot better than they were and think the finish is superb. Now to have the centres done, still debating the colour for them right enough! Rest of the car is nearly finished. Couple of issues with the paintwork which are being redone hopefully this week.
Title: Re: Project mk3
Post by: lewis1641 on 16 April 2015, 10:56
have they been skimmed or is it diamond cut?
Title: Re: Project mk3
Post by: nezzi21 on 23 April 2015, 10:26
Diamond cut, not sure if like them or not! Now they have had all the pitting removed it will be easier to fully polish them if thats the way i go. Just waiting on the centres to be painted then will decide what to do.

Post by: nezzi21 on 28 June 2015, 17:23
So, Car is going back in on Monday to have some paint issues rectified. Wheel centres are now with a painter who will actually paint them and i have a complete set of chrome bolts & nuts coming so i can rebuild them hopefully this week! All being well the car will be out for SCS & Svag the following week.

Post by: nezzi21 on 26 July 2015, 18:04
So time to update this a bit, Had some issues with the paint work which has mostly been fixed but not entirely happy with it. But for the price i paid for it all to be done i suppose i can't complain to much. Also wheels have been built up and tyres are on, just to fit the coilovers and wheels and we are finally getting somewhere!
 
Wheels painted and built up

Tyres on

Stretch on the fronts ( 185/35 on a 7.5 )
(http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/nezzi21/20150723_103051_zpsmpgc61qb.jpg) (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/nezzi21/media/20150723_103051_zpsmpgc61qb.jpg.html)
 
Just coilovers and wheels to go on
(http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/nezzi21/20150725_160908_zpsyxsfdijp.jpg) (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/nezzi21/media/20150725_160908_zpsyxsfdijp.jpg.html)

Hopefully ready in a day or 2. Had a small issue with a bolt snapping in the rear shock but all sorted now.

Title: Re: Project mk3
Post by: nezzi21 on 03 August 2015, 00:23
Getting there now, Just need to bring the front down a touch and raise the rear slightly for a bit clearance. Also need another front tyre as there is a nick in the inside tyre wall and its leaking air under pressure!

Wheels look a good fitment, how big are the adaptors you have had to use?
Title: Re: Project mk3
Post by: nezzi21 on 09 August 2015, 09:33
Wheels are BBS RC041/042 so 17x7.5 et41 & 17x8.5 et42 with 20mm adapters all round. Sit pretty well, just need to have my rear arches properly sorted and roll the fronts to get it lower. Tyres are 185/35 front and 195/40 rear.

Post by: nezzi21 on 15 August 2015, 16:45

Job for this weekend is to get the block and head cleaned up. Paint the block, head and gearbox then make a start getting it all back together. Head Gasket, Bolts and new crank seals will be here tomorrow as well.

Progress has been nonexistent due to my birthday yesterday and the inconvenience that is work! However back on it tomorrow so should get the head painted and back on the block, can then start to get things built back up.

I did manage to have my Brother in law blast these 2 mounts, some other things going to him this week to get blasted as well. Question is should I give them a coat of paint of do they not need painted??

So not updated this in a while but been busy refurbing the RC's for this year. So far I'm half way through but like so many times before a set of wheels popped up at reasonable money and couldn't say no!

(http://i1051.photobucket.com/albums/s435/nezzi21/8E6D11E6-DA15-4989-B484-1AE1BF8EC5F5_zps1qvwbmhb.png) (http://s1051.photobucket.com/user/nezzi21/media/8E6D11E6-DA15-4989-B484-1AE1BF8EC5F5_zps1qvwbmhb.png.html)

Loved these for ages! So be a quick spruce up with some silver paint and already have some tyres and various width adapters sitting there. VR6 rebuild is nearing completion as well but that will most likely get put in over the winter as I really want to get out and drive it this year! Sadly the RC's will be getting sold ( advert to follow once they are finished )
