Re: Project VX

Ah getting all slang on me are ya Lee!

The horn panel would just slot it as normal, might feel the lil vent holes to make it totally smooth, maybe a bit of fibreglass n filler to do the job.

Haha dec, got a folder of 50+ pics of ideas and paint drawings ready :rofl:

Yeah nibs, hopefully get a grand, just want it gone tbh, getting student loan friday :banana: ..once I'm out of uni, it's gonna be solid work on it and another 180 when I bloody find one. Always get people coming round helping me then they drive to mcdonalds, don't usually pay anything :rofl: ...I won't be getting as many as you though I don't think nib, probs just private work, peoples panels, undertrays etc

 

Re: Project VX

Re: Project VX

Yeah as you say, when I start at something, I won't leave things untouched, if it's dirty or marked it will be cleaned/replaced...all about attention to detail. You could have a mint bike then the centrestand is rusted as hell n just ruins it. It's good fun when ya doing it n experience, that's why I did it anyway. The next 180 will be a keeper then just keep doing more to it every so often. Cheers though nibs I can't wait to see it finished either :rofl:

 

Re: Project VX

how much longer do u rekon till itz finished ???? mite be intrested in buying it

 

Re: Project VX

I've lost alot of interest in doing it tbh, but April/May I got revision/exams so it won't be done till June I don't think, not alot to do left, but it's just time, I haven't got any.

UPDATE (10/05/2009)

Naaaaaaaat :rofl:

28th May is my last exam then full time on this motherfucker Got a lot of interest in doing it now with the good weather and seeing peoples projects, also the need to get a 180.

Still left to do is:

1 Make second hole in undertray
2 Buy paint
3 Primer remaining panels
4 Buy battery
5 Get custom numberplate made
6 Get custom numberplate bracket made
7 Sort out horn cover - DONE
8 Make bracket for exhaust
9 Get downpipe made for exhaust
10 Get sharp signs graphic done with paint - EDIT - going to use airbrush.
11 Buy lil engine casing cover - Someone buy me it, post me it


So all the above is easy to do, apart from the downpipe to be made, but simply need to find somewhere.

Also seen the paint I am going to use too, changed my mind to white and red I think.

Mercedes artic white:



Ducati red with metal flake, not sure on metal flake yet though:

 

Re: Project VX

that 848 is the sex, and yea im feeling that scheme :tup:

UPDATE (30/05/2009)

Well, I had a look down the shed to see what needs doing....not alot

The list:

1 Make second hole in undertray - DONE
2 Buy paint - DONE - Half
3 Primer remaining panels
4 Buy battery
5 Get custom numberplate made - DONE
6 Get custom numberplate bracket made
7 Sort out horn cover - DONE
8 Make bracket for exhaust
9 Get downpipe made for exhaust
10 Buy lil engine casing cover - DONE

Just bought some bits, all waiting for me in the post

Mercedes artic white paint 2.5l
Fine line tape
1200 wet and dry
Tack cloths
Numberplate
Dust sheets (got given for free)
Thinners (already had)

Already got primer too, so need to finish primering them, spray all panels white. Once sprayed, mask up and find a red to use. It's all go go go now, just need to wait for them to arrive then I can get started, can primer for now though

Dad will sort me out the exhaust bracket and couple of detailing parts unmentioned ...also me and him will attempt to make the downpipe, tack it up and get it pro welded, if it goes wrong, won't cost alot

Will buy battery nearer the time needed. Made the second hole in the undertray today and rubbed it down all ready to go. Will update next week.

 

Re: Project VX

UPDATE (01/06/2009)

Finished the remaining panels that had to be primered today aswell as getting sunburnt :rofl:

Just gotta wait on parcels now, horn panel is one of them which will need primering too. Now can only wait for the white to come through. Going to spray every panel white then use it as a basecoat for the candy apple red.
