Paint is based on D60 Lunar grey but with a lil difference

wings and boot lid






car in base coat... nearly kept it like this tbh








Lacquer time

















on way home


home




wings and lights on


engine refit


used towel method to avoid scratching bay.. in hindsight pointless now cage is fitted lol

[Zmaster2k]

hmm thats not right?


doh



UPRATED


oooh red










mini shoot



big box with Custom cages multipoint cage arrived.. couldnt resist at the price, mocked that in place




in the mean time we set about removing the entire interior and getting her running, this went (aside from a **** earth) without fault,

2 months later, shes off to the fabricators


Tacked it in






realised that uprights dont give alot of room so will have those chopped in

ALL fitted with upright amended through the Door X

Looking mustard fella miss my old one,

[Os8472]

Gotta say, brave man to paint a Williams any colour other than blue but it looks great

[Big Steve - Raider]

Super Job matey!!

Bet you wish you held off painting it until you got the cage fitted so you could get the whole lot painted at once?

Did you get those wheels off Flan or did you paint them red?? Just wondering if they're the Red Williams Alloys I got powdercoated for Flan's 1st VAG Clio I owned for a couple of years?

[Mudslinger]

Interesting colour , looks nice in the daylight pics , think the red wheels suit the colour
youve went a bit mental with the cage ? bit ott for a car with only 180bhp must add alot of weight ?

[rs250nut]

Nice job, need to get rid of the gay sticker in the back window though, no one is too cool to spool, you should replace it with '' Boost, the replacement for displacement''

[rs250nut]

Its not a Williams ya yard hand

[T.K]

This car is cool. Fact of science.

I like the too cool to spool sticker so much I think I am going to copy it!

[Os8472]

Its not a Williams ya yard hand

My bad, though I saw a Williams sticker on the side

Slap a turbo on it

[Zmaster2k]

Lol lew the sticker would cause topic of discussion lol
Yeah cage Is way ott for what I need but it was a total bargain!

Weight wise it dossnt weigh as much as you'd think..52kgs which I'll save with poly windows and no more sound deadening etc

Sound mat will take out a fair chunk of weigh, the lexan windows dont take out as much weigh as you might think unless you fix them and then remove all the winders etc.

[Zmaster2k]

Lexan windows and winders....pffft that's like having Rivita with lard on top lol

Seats I'm getting are stupidly light too!

No soundproofing
No door cards
No rear seats
No Belts
No Window motors
No glass windows
No roof lining
All glue removed

Car is much lighter than a stock car with rear seats out

[Zmaster2k]

Ok treated car today,


Bit o red oxide


Pressed plates and carbon fibre

Ok little update not huge,

Got cracking on sanding the interior and cage then a wipe down with thinners. Then primer.

[Zmaster2k]

So we cut... choped.. grinded... shaved.. etc

Does it look like the das is gonna fit... no LOL

[Zmaster2k]

so another small yet large Update.

Sooo basically my "Lunar grey" has had a bit of an issue, the paint formulation was, well, wrong.. under regular "over cast" conditions and in the booth.. the paint looks Grey.. however.. when its exposed to the Bright sunshine we are so used to in the UK.. it changes colour, and goes Moave/Lilac...NOT what i wanted!


overcast


sunshine :S


in the booth


sunshine :S


So after speaking to the paint company explaining that i was concerned in finding a match for the paint in the future.
The out come of a few very light hearted emails with the supplier explainging my "lunar Grey" was more "Lunar Ghey" was the paint manufacturer have basically said they will pay for a respray in the correct colour... A very pleasant surprise.

So the car is currently in the body shop having the body resprayed in D60 lunar grey (ill be seeing a test panel first) the interior painted in D60 Lunar grey and the rollcage painting in 727 capsicum red!

Very excited to see her back now, Excited to get her home and have the dash fabricated.

Then its just basics left but still alot of ££ to go

[Zmaster2k]

Ok here is the difference in the correct Lunar Grey, and my Previous Lunar Ghey!

Hopefully not long now, interior and cage are getting painted this week, 727 cage and D60 interior.

Taken these parts home to aviod scratching.

[Zmaster2k]

So went down to body shop to see the progress...happy so far...few touch ups but otherwise ok!*

Doors are done, bonnets done interior is done

Pics xx



Can see the slight colour difference here




Touch ups required my shoddy primer

[Zmaster2k]

Right went for another visit today!

I've had the final bill for everything! Gulp!

Paint finish is fantastic...and it's not had a wet sand and polish yet?!?
Proberly OTT for track!

[Nad-5GTT]

Excellent car bud very nice, think you could have fitted a few more bars in that cage though
