ST205 Total Rebuild, Something a bit different Options

[enderswift]

I don't think its possible to do a better job resto-modding a gt4. Seriously good job, it all looks awesome!

[Nial]

Thanks I am trying my best. Getting very frustrated with the painting and lack of progress at the moment.

And now I will never be able to enjoy my own car ever again. Thanks Nial!
Haha awesome work man, can't believe all the job you've done!

[Nial]

The project has been on hold for a few weeks whilst I rewire the garage, and add some lights





Back to spraying again tomorrow.

And now I will never be able to enjoy my own car ever again. Thanks Nial!

YOUR MAKING great progress. as long as you have a goal time in mind you will get it finished. a member who had the curren front end and was planning to do the awd turbo conversion didn't have a goal time for when he'd complete it and several years passed more than 4 im sure) and never finished

Sorry for the lack of updates, i do minor updates on my facebook page, had a few mistakes along the way, mostly silly things like forgetting to put hardener in the clear coat etc. But ,aking some good progress now.....at last.

Starting to get some colour down its only the underside of the bonnet, but a successful step for a diy novis paint sprayer



And the Toms front lip done



And getting thebrear crash bar refurbished

Man that is an awesome color! Can't wait to see more updates, regardless how slow it is. Sometimes that's just how it goes!

[Nial]

Thanks, i just wish i had more time, but with a eight month old daughter priorities change.......a bit.

That is an interesting colour, kind of blueish-grey looking. I like it.

[Nial]

Managed to get the front bumper sprayed, not perfect but it will be soon, a couple of runs and some dust but easily sorted with a bit of wet n dry.

[Box]

Now it looks more greenish-grey. I've seen that color before, think it was on a TVR.

[Nial]

Its a blue grey with a slight metalic in it, the colour tends to reflect whats aroind it slightly, on sunny clear days it looks very blue, on dull days it looks almost battleship grey, it probably looks green as its reflecting the grass a bit.

I really like it, subtle and mysterious. Can't wait to see the car done.

Niether can i, although i must admit i will be a bit lost when there is no more painting to do as pretty much everything to this point over the past four years has been prep for painting.

[Nial]

Coming along nicely. Although today I learned don't close the bonnet before attaching the bonnet pull cable........does anyone have a bonnet pull cable for sale

SS4 bumper turned out great man!

[Nial]

Thanks, i am bery pleased with it. Maybe a few very minor things on it could be better but for jownit will do

[Nial]

Starting to put things back together now. the bodywork needs a bit of flat polishing to get it perfect like a mirror, i have done the roof and it has come up amazing, well pleased.

[cheela]

getting closer and closer.
love the color.

[Nial]

Thanks a little progress every day soon mounts up. Still a few bits to spray but I am taking a break for a while now.
