HellllloooO!!!

Nice motor there. Im down the road in Swansea!

Seems like a friendly place around here!

Any plans for the car or enjoying as is?

[beema_boy]

Cheers so far, im enjoying the car as is atm. did want some alloys but cant really afford much atm so im just guna stick to upkeeping the car and meby a few small mods here and there. im working on extending the ed hardy design on the engine plastics but thats more for experience than anything.

i do want a TRD spoiler but again money is an issue and so is finding a good quality one.

also guna attempt to fit LED sidelights in the headlight, never tried it before so im looking for a set to try it on so i dont wreck my own lol.

ill keep an eye out for anyone in the cardiff area, including you ae111sr :)

ill post more pics on here as i go along really.

Hi and welcome, you have a very clean motor there mate.

Did you spray them yourself?

[beema_boy]

Yeh i sprayed the edhardy myself. the missus took care of designing it and touching it up after. should be extending it this weekend so will update this as it goes along

opinions? u can tell me if u think its **** i dont mind lol

would rather honest criticsism than false

:D

ha awesome. Yeh I like it, very different. I personally am not a fan of engine covers because I like to see the metal! :) But what you have done with them is really cool. Keep it up.

I agree nothing looks cooler than coloured or modified belt gears and chrome/painted manifolds :)

unfortunately they get boggin after two seconds and i dont have the cash to afford them :(

You'd be surprised at how far a tin of hammerite can get you without looking tacky. I have done with my engine bay (but I only did one coat thus far and it chipped upon engine removal and refitting :( ) and I am quite pleased with the results:

I also got chrome cover for the hoses and chrome jubilee clips. Just really sets it all off IMO. :)

cant see the pic atm as im in work but im betting it looks sweet

ive painted the vines on the ed hardy pic. will do the thorns and flowers next in yellow and red.

will post pics up when its done
