mantadoc Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think this is going to be a great car, but I don't think you're making a quick track car, it's too pretty to use flat out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveopel Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Its getting close, that paint looks superb good choice of colour too cant wait to see her finished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fish Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 (edited) Yep, not going to be a trackday car anymore... the project has just kind of escalated from being a quick bit of welding to get track/road worthy into something that has gone beyond anything I could have possibly hoped/dreamed. Rest of kit and fuel cap now in primer... Edited September 21, 2009 by Devil Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Fish Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Rab, the rear arches attach to the car by the same j-clips and bolts that you use for the front wings, no need for any glue, will run a bead of sealant to stop water getting in though. I'll add some pics a bit later of the finished paint job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Fish Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 just needs a polish and its done, kit is getting painted tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) You've inadvertantly posted a picture of a mirror as the last pic That's a lovely colour, are you leaving it plain or having decals and the 400 patch colours on the door?

Devil Fish Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 'Ems' is making me some special decals for the doors and boot lip, and obvisouly a blitz on the front. Probably not going to do the 400 door stripes, I'm trying to keep it subtle...oops too late! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Irmscher decal on right of bootlid, "400r" on the other side, 400 decals on the doors with the dealer stripes at top, blitz on nosecone, all in yellow- in ya face!............ Oh, just remembered, it's not actually my car..... Darren is thinking silver 400r decals as above but no door stripes, a kind of sublte approach and a more original theme. Let the people decide- What do you think? VOTE NOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

entwistlecymru Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 It looks absolutely gorgeous in the metal! A really nice, deep shine. I'm amazed no one has painted a 400r in this colour before 'cos it really suits the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

endakillian Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Looks awesome! Top marks to you as well for straying from the flock with you're colour choice (says me with 5 litres of Polar white waitin to go on the 400 rep! )The antracite should look really different when she's built.
