What I've been up to this week.
« on: 21 April 2013, 18:29 »
Had a bit of time this week to change some of the things I didn't like about the car. Firstly change the smoothed doors back to standard as I absolutely hate not having door handles.

Before


After




Second was to remove the side skirts haven't got an after picture cos there is loads of tigerseal I need to remove.

Thirdly was to refurbish the wheels as they had seen better days
Before shots on photos above

Repair shot


Primer


Finished





What do you think?

Had a remote which popped the doors open. I'll just replace the wings and go back to standard.

You would prefer it if u left tye car running with the keys inside them accidentally close the door with no way to get back in. I had to smash the window to get in. So after I put some switches in the mirrors to open the door. But if the battery ever died I would still be screwed. Anyway I prefer it as standard   :tongue:
