Anyone used any panel and paint shops for a complete glass out panel off respray they have had a good experience with? 

AFM Enterprises have been highly recommended to me, but they're VERY expensive.

Yep that burns

So 24hours after fitting splits in my Ute, had a phone call and the ringtone blew one of the crossovers.

Always something to fix [emoji107]
Achy breaky heart at 250w.? No wonder it split [emoji174]
does this mean you dont want to come pull the dash out of the focus for me?
Saturday morning, about 1 hour after fitting 4 brand new tyres, the fkn heater core shat and spewed hot water all over my feet [emoji20] 8 years and almost 100 000km and NOW it finally breaks something....
Looks likes sneakers or boots all round for Sau safety. I thought ethylene glycol was good for bunions and fungus? 4 x brand new 19x245x35s on the xr8. It's a entire car key inside the tyre/rim. So 5 x new tyres. Ffs.DSC_0199_4(1)(1).JPG

Oh, and @z00keyuses In-Style Collision, they've done really good work with his car.

Would cost a lifetime of reacharounds.

Was virtually a full day to do my Ute and had a few gremlins that appeared in the following days and required more work

So thanks but no thanks

lo I fkn here ya. Got it bypassed for now, but I have to pay someone to fix it, so if you are looking for a cashie for a weekend, let me know.

Things is, I am still not convinced its the heater. A couple of days after changing the coolant, the o-ring on the petcock shat on the radiator dump, and this makes me suspect the o-rings in the heater line even more.

 

fkn cars.

O-rings you say?

Which ones?
I thought it was a good electrical joke? Might be time to bow out gracefully?


My latest multi meter was run over by a Ute months back and is now starting to tell lies. Might order a newbie tomorrow

    • Hi, wondering if the HKS bar and water reservoir still available? Thanks 
    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
