DILLIGAF?: Project Ratty



  • Yes it is, can't believe they don't supply them when you buy a set of nuts, I got one when I bought some tuner nuts before



  • Should have a 12 mm allen key lying around somewhere to do a trial fit :D



  • :D I can turn down that allen key if you want
    so it fits in a battery drill for ultimate labour saving 8)

    :wink: Can do that my self at work tomorrow :P



  • The first real fitment of the new wheels is a success :D



    Just need to get the tyres sorted and away we go.



  • I've just spent the last couple of hours sorting out bits of the interior and fitting some foot well lights, turned out to be a nightmare for some reason with slipped wires and having to re wire and what not.

    I took all the carbon vinyl off and re did it so it's all matching now and all the blemishes have gone. Also managed to get the gear gaiter sitting a little snugger in it's place.

    You can see the lights in the passenger footwell at the moment but I'll sort it out soon so only the glow will be visible.



  • wheels look great
    also loving all that carbon fibre wrap sorry but ive kind had to copy you with that lol its looking realy good keep it up

    Hey I don't mind Jay fella, it's a compliment and also makes something of that blank space under the head unit :D

    So here's some night pictures of the footwells, prepare for shakey cam! :lol:





  • Another day and I decided to take on the removal of the front drivers wing. Needless to say, I won.

    But I won't say it was easy, it involved quite a lot of violence and swearing and yet more violence, here's the old wing to give you a clue.

    And here it is, possibly the straightest bit of bodywork on my car, everrrrr!


    it also helped sit the bumper a little nicer too


    and whilst the bumper was off and the wires to the spots were exposed I wired up some under glow lights (here's a snippet, will have to wait for more darkness to see them better)



  • Underglow at night






  • getting there dude



  • multi colour car FTW!



  • @99dca4afe7=mx3gulf:

    multi colour car FTW!

    Beautiful ain't it :lol: I should get a passenger wing in blue and bumpers in some other MX3 colours :lol:

    I could become a swatch for the MX3, "available in all these colours"

    Or possibly until I get a respray I could do the rising sun on the wing :twisted:



  • Hmm, keep watching over the next few months people, somethings happening, something funny and strange and weird (what would you expect from old Stalky eh?).



  • Oi mate, what's that front splitter from..?



  • Seat Leon Cupra
    Eunos bud.



  • Took some time to attack one of the wheels, readying it for refurbishing and a new colour.

    I am lucky to have 5 of these wheels so decided if I don't like what I'm going to do then at least the other 4 can stay as they are, this particular wheel was silver whereas the others are anthracite, so it would have been getting attacked anyway.



  • So then, erm




  • bonnet looks in good condition

    It is bud, only a few marks and a little dint on it but spot on for a tenner :D
