jez NF Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Sorry if you've posted it before, but where did you get your rear fenders? Got the rears from Viva Garage Cameron. Had a lot of mixed opinions with their quality etc. so was not very sure when I first ordered it but it turned out great in the end so I guess it is a case of hit and miss really. The fronts I got off Joel (off FB) so no idea where they are from but took them to my panel place just then and it lines up well and quality is seemingly great so will have them on in a couple of weeks.

KaosCam Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I have some of the same fenders (Dmaxx front fenders) but the panel beaters I went to said the lips are too small, so I need to find a better shop who will do it and not complain Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/27/#findComment-7302839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jez NF Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Comin along nicely mate, im excited to see it when the guards and new wheels fitted. Look forward to guard work!! Be on your guard LOL....updates will be coming soon...going in week after next. This is indirectly related.....but I practised some paint correction on my bunky this morning and thought I would post some results. Used an orbital buffing method for the first time so was keen to get some practise before working on my car. The red hue is the natural tinge of the polishing compound...... Was a painstakingly slow process though as I experimented with different techniques to find what worked best.... half half shot Quite impressed with the results actually Edited June 7, 2014 by jez NF Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/27/#findComment-7305602 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jez NF Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) What compounds did you use? Warm water wash with soapy (car wash) solution and microfibre noodle sponge....Medium cutting compound polish with soft buffing pad (paint is from 1996 and fairly soft being Jap) ....sealant and wax (hand applied and lightly buffed with polishing microfibre towel).......Swissvax polish and Dodojuice/ P21S Concours Carnauba Wax Oh and also tried Meguiars colour care (in red) and Meguiars ultimate polish which did add a bit of depth to the colour initially but nothing flash really and tough to use compared to Swissvax.

jez NF Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) "Too many things on my mind all at once.....plans are all jumbled up and confused.....need clear direction....must focus....work to a target......have to get organized !!! " Plans for the immediate future: - Book the car in for the wide front fender work. - Tint the indicators / get orange led globes (brighter) if required Plans for the short term: - Fit rear tyres (285s) on my new rims which fingers and toes crossed arrive by the end of next month - Move current rear rims and tyres to the fronts (might need to run a spacer but we shall see) - Actually commit to installing the new coilover suspension (which in honesty I have not done yet because I am waiting for the new rims to be fitted first) - Get around to repainting the wiper stalks and weather protector bits as they are starting to show wear in bits (seemingly I am the only one who can actually see this as nobody seems to notice unless I tell them where to look and they peer closely - yes I am a bit loony I guess) - Wrap the plastic dash surround in carbon look wrap to see how it looks OR have it plasti-dipped black carbon Plans for the long term: - Swap existing coilpack and valley covers with the new painted / graffiti ones - Research changing to either a Greddy or Plazman forward facing plenum (solely for looks really) - Research converting to running E85 - Get around to tidying up the engine bay a bit more and going braided lines etc. and thus begins the difficult task of actually trying to keep to this and saving accordingly...wish me luck Edited June 20, 2014 by jez NF 2 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/27/#findComment-7317376 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jez NF Posted July 26, 2014 Author Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Indicators being tinted (I actually typed injectors before lol)...... Dropped the rims off to get the centres resprayed (BIG thank you to Simon from Autocraft) (BIG because the experience thus far has been excellent with Simon being the first person I have encountered in a while who keeps to his word - where a set time is actually a set time and I don't have to wait / also for willing to do it on overnight notice !!)

jez NF Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 Being put back together Also I think I may just have gone a bit too dark on the indicators....but I can still see the stock bulb light up even in bright sunshine..so hoping that it will be perfect when I swap with LEDs. I will get the white surrounding bits painted when I have the fenders done so the white bits you can see around the lens will be blacked out properly. Will take close up pics when I put the LEDs in.
