Just don't drive really close behind anyone and you'll be fine. The roads to crail are hardly gravelly.

That's the plan bud. 9:00am meet, 9:30am leave, about 10:30 arrival but maybe 10:45 if the roads are busier etc.
Can't wait!

One advice I have is try not to drive it loads as the paint is still soft...so hard not too though!!
I drove the supra after sprayed...got stone chip on front and because paint was soft, took a larger chunk then normal and i was gutted.
Id almost suggest if it was me (as i will be doing it when my car is sprayed) a clear vinyl wrap. You lose a little bit of the reflection but the paint is kept in perfect condition and when that panels vinyl looks a bit crummy you can just replace the one. (paint will need time to cure first) And now a days isn't the most expensive job in the world.
yeah I'm not gonna be driving it much, taking it to the drag strip on sunday though I'd actually talked about clear vinyl wrapping it, I am so worried about chipping the paint
My car was resprayed in May, and then I did 2000 miles round trip on the Le Mans outing in June. Stone chipped front end, but I don't give a crap. My car is to be used, not moth balled in a museum.

I am absolutely of the same mindset man, it's just that it's sooooooo pretty!!!!!!
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Ab Flug kit, Finished pic on page 18.
Yeah, does look good. You'll get more enjoyment driving it/getting use of it rather than just looking at it though!
You've spent the money making the car into what you want it to be, and I guess being a 1.3 ton paperweight wasn't part of the original plan!

I alway liked splashnatz's car http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/garage.php ... le&CID=268 and even looked at the proton arches to do a similar idea without going so wide

Cheers man, i wish i could get a proper pic, the pearl flip doesn't photograph well at all
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Ab Flug kit, Finished pic on page 18.
Looks great mate, could you do a walk round and put it on you tube, maybe get a better look at the colour that way.

Yeah sure man, i'll get one done tomorrow spotting more and more wee dodgy bits but as i said before, it's a 1200 spray job and a 20 year old car, i'm also being very very picky
Having nothing but bother with the arch liners collapsing on the wheel too, i'm gonna have to get it on the ramps and get everything secure

they are D1Rs mate yeah, I got rid of the red stripe and painted the centre caps yellow. I actually looooove the look of these wheels on the car, I wish i could just find a proper sized set of these, at the moment I have massive spacers
Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Ab Flug kit, Finished pic on page 18.
was the stripe just a sticker as thats what put me off telling the inlaw to get them as thought the stripe looked to chavvy on white wheels.
