I like the roof pal, done a good job

Nice work getting the coilovers!
Gonna get mine back from my boyfriends brother, he's not replying to me at all so I think I may phone some garages.

Well done doing the roof by yourself though

Thanks. They should be fitted weekend after next hopefully then I just need to have a little play with how low to go. One question. Should I spray the threaded bit of the coilovers with something like WD40? And how often to stop them from getting stuck?.

Thanks. I'm not sure if I should take it all off and try again or not because it's wonky and some of the corners of the squares are overlapping.

Roof looks good, I wouldn't re do it, I reckon it looks better being at an angle rather than all being perfectly straight, looks more interesting.
I'd use the new squares to extend the pattern right to the back though, looks a bit odd stopping at the boot hatch

Thanks. Yeah I know what ya saying. It's just I have had to overlap some of the corners so it's not the best job. I could try it with bigger squares if I do re do it. Well the reason I didn't do the top of the tailgate is because I plan on getting the OEM spoiler soon.

I was lucky to get the pics that I took at that location. I think it's private property lol but I took a few pics them went again lol. It's not to far from you actually. I will send ya the location in a pm. I'm sure if I was caught there then it would be ok because my dad knows the owner of the land.

Glad I could help lol. I only knew about it as my dad was a farmer for 25 years and he worked around there for a while. I agree, really need to find some more places. I used to know of a reli old mill but it's been knocked down now I will see if I can find any more places.

Yeah I bought a new dslr camera which I took with me to that place u went today. Still getting used to it thou lol.

Look forward to seeing the pics you got

Sounds good, a few people from work are starting proper photography courses.

Once you know about all the different settings and meanings of icons on a DSLR you'll find it so easy and so many things can be done with it.

I did photography at college so learnt it all and i've also got myself an old film SLR.

Update:

Well I have just replaced my gear stick gator after wrestling with it for half hour lol. I am hoping to receive my adjustable drop links any day now and the coilovers will be going on soon, I had hoped for them to go on this weekend but I'm not sure I can afford to pay to have them fitted yet

Quick update

Today I received an early birthday present from my parents, dubmeister pressed plates very happy with them and are already fitted to the car. I have received the drop links that I was waiting for and have great news about the coilovers. I had a problem with money so couldn't get them fitted but have spoke to my mate who was doing them and he has agreed to put them on the car on Monday 12th but I won't pay him the money until the week after when I get paid again. He also dropped the price in exchange for me to recommend him and give a few business cards out. Am very happy about that and can't wait to get the car lowered. Just need to figure out what height to have them at . I will upload a few pics of my cleaning session I did on the car last weekend.

 

[char_baby]

I say do it about an inch or so above the wheels.

yeah i was thinking about that hight. i will get my mate to set them at that and if i feel i can go lower then i will go to 1/2 inch.

i have uploaded more pics of the car very dirty and then very clean and aslo some pics of the really good clean and polish i gave it last weekend. there are a few pics of out and about as well.
