Great save tho, looked awful with that wing
I know what you mean though. The back end looks kind of 'empty' without them. As soon as I pull my finger out and get it and the rest of my kit resprayed

In and out of the oven tens of times, took me hours! 
Everything except a rear centre panel, which we all know are rare as hens teeth. And when they do pop up for sale, they are an obscene amount of money to buy! 
..
The panel was now effectively double the thickness of the original so there was quite a step when fitted. This meant that the brackets needed to be modified and the boot lock also needed to be recessed a bit. After a little bit of trial and error I managed to get everything lined up nicely so glued the brackets back together and final fitted the panel

I'm liking the all red dash lights effect.
Was there a particular kind of film that you used so as not to degrade?
What replacement cluster LEDs did you use?
What about using PP style rear spats as a temporary measure till you get the toms rear on!
It'll beef up the rear a treat till your ready to put your toms on
Didn't really factor in degrading to be honest. Just wanted red, 
- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-XENON-PURE ... 3a7e96ca63 I'll get the bumper sorted soon. The longer I keep seeing the rear as it is, the more it will motivate me to make a start on it.- looks really good (jealous)!!...Magic Beans wrote:We heard a lot about this car while we were away in June
Looking good though
Loved the Mule! Was well jealous I couldn't go on the Le Mans trip with everyone. Maybe one day. as you'll find out with a few of my next little projects 
And also got hold of a cluster with an omori boost gauge in the stock boost gauge position which you can just about make out in the picture. And some imoc mats 
Well happy with these! I will get the seat cushions done eventually so it all matches but that's a job im gonna have to out source so probably won't be cheap 
Mounted the controller in the clock position.

Added a fresh lick of paint too.
They still need respraying so went back in the box until a later date.
I doubt the cat was very effective!
Wasn't an MR2 specific meet. Any cars go, from Fords and Vauxhalls to Ferraris and Porsches. This is probably my favourite picture of my car Wish I could take photos like that!

At first I thought I had just turned it up to high or something but after explaining every thing over the phone to Mr Gidden, he reckons the boost controller was faulty as it shouldnt have hurt the engine from the numbers I dialled in. Still havent actually worked out whats wrong with it yet but will get round to it eventually 
Had a hairline crack going round the entire thing. Luckily it all stayed in one piece in the engine and didnt damage the cylinder.
Disconnected the boost controller though until I've worked out whats wrong with it. 
and at about 10-11psi (i think) the turbo just cuts out like I've taken my foot off the accelerator 
Haven't worked out what at the moment though. Lots of mayo everywhere so was thinking head gasket. Exhaust isn't smokey though. After a chat with Peter, he doesnt think it's head gasket as I've been running standard boost and with a metal head gasket its very rare that it would go. 
..again! Got a pair of vented fibreglass wings, a set of Abflug style wide arches, and a freshly painted Airwalker front bumper to replace my damaged one. Also got a full set of rub strips from Shmed. Gonna skin them in carbon fibre. Waiting for some nicer weather... Good job I only come home on weekends 
Phoenix Power engine lid from the Carben Fibre Creations group buy.
Need to stop spending money really and start saving for a house again Balance out the exposure, shadows and highlights, colour temp etc then add a load of Clarity Yep, I've become a photography geek over the past year 
out of interest, what happened to the old wheels? Big fan of white on white.Magic Beans wrote:Photo wise you can get shots like that, you just need a reasonable camera, shot in RAW and tweak the images in software like Lightroom.
It's my dad's old one. I just need to learn how to use it sheppy wrote:

Cheers Craig, looking forward to seeing pics of your shell when its done.

My 1st meet, and thoroughly enjoyed it Yes, the editing is probably very poor as its my first go so please don't slate me for it 
(Dave) and decided to go for a quick photoshoot before driving back home 
(The first 4 photos are my edits and the last 2 are my mates edits)
