2 months since my last update
well since then, the big news is that last week i made my FINAL payment for the respray and for everything to be fitted
. It's a massive weight off my shoulders and such a relief to not have that hanging over my head anymore. On the flip side, the bodyshop where my car is, are fully booked with work up until the beginning of August, but fingers crossed all the bodywork and mods will be painted and fitted by this time next month. I'll still have the interior and underneath to sort out after that, so it won't be truly finished but there were many times when i didn't even think i'd get to this stage.
In preparation for the car getting stripped to be painted i had one last job to do and that was to fit Allan's exhaust, modify my rear bumper and fit the diffuser. So jacked up the car at the rear put it on axle stands and cracked on:
The exhaust fitted just fine, the biggest headache was fitting the new exhaust hangers. One side came off no problems, the other side however required a hacksaw and a blowtorch before i finally managed to get the bolts out.
The diffuser was also pretty straight forward, it's bolted through the floor pan and the rear, and that just left cutting up my rear bumper to fit around it.
The biggest thing here was that, my TF rear bumper is obviously different to Allan's F bumper. As you can see there is a small gap between the top of the diffuser and the bumper. However i'm pretty confident i can sort that out and it won't be visible when it's all finished.
Finally, the final colour has changed yet again and the car will now be painted Monogram Twilight. As of this moment in time i still haven't got anymore alloy wheels or tyres and even if i did i still need the spacers for them. Not sure when that will get done as it's time for a life change and i'm hoping to relocate from here in Lancashire to South Wales before September.
