So made good progress today. Got the wing off, finished undersealing the front arch:

Also got the door and wing swapped. And a black bonnet badge

Before:

After

Fitted a new door seal rubber as well, so hopefully will not have any more puddles in the footwell Smile

Made a start on painting up the Baker gear linkages, and started stripping the '6 manifold ready for painting. Its all going this colour (not my parts below)

So go the bodywork on this fully PH3 converted now, with every panel in diablo. The wrapping is going on the back burner until I can do the whole car at once. Looks gash in multi colour.

The rear bumper and new 'zorst fit a lot better than before. The bumper has a few scuffs so will be getting re-sprayed at some point. Starting to get the love back for this car now Smile

Looks spot on dude!

**Grant** · 11-10-2013, 10:59 AM

Aw cheers man. Its a far way off where I want it to be, but gives me something to look forwards to lol

What happened to your wrapped door?

**Grant** · 11-10-2013, 02:40 PM

I took it off as I was fed up of driving everywhere in a multi colours car and people looking at me like i couldn't afford to fix a crash damaged car properly. I will wrap it one day Smile

Liking the purple brakes geezer, I spy 307 rear calipers, have you test fitted them yet? was I right about fitting or being very close to fitting?

**Grant** · 12-10-2013, 12:37 PM

Dum dum you muppet! Read the post properly! Lol. They're not my parts, it was just a picture to show the colour

**Grant** · 13-10-2013, 07:25 PM

So bit of a boring update:

When i got the replacement tailgate, whoever removed it decided it would be wise to chop the loom, so instead of trying to thread a new one in, I'm gonna run a +'ve and -'ve to the heated screen. I have no wiper so thats no issue. And for the rear brake light, i thought I'd try something different. Hopefully people would see it a bit better:

A bent ally bar with some mounting holes drilled.

And some strip LED's

Aaaaaaand thats as far as I got before i had a beer and got stuck tot eh sofa.... lol

**WiNgNuTz** · 13-10-2013, 07:40 PM

Different, hope they'll be bright enough, i did something similar on my 1.4, they were dismally dull in the daylight. They were alright at night though. Wink

**Grant** · 13-10-2013, 07:41 PM

I'll still have the two brake lights in the rear clusters, this is just for the high level.

But yes, i hope they are too lol

**WiNgNuTz** · 13-10-2013, 07:43 PM

Fair point, i also still had the original high level light in place. I just had some red LED strips going spare, so wired them in with the brakes! lol

**Grant** · 13-10-2013, 07:46 PM

Haha fair.

I also had a mad moment and nearly ordered a rain light

[Image: o6xp34.jpg]

Then realised how stupid that would be lol

**WiNgNuTz** · 13-10-2013, 07:49 PM

Sorry, a rain light?! What is the purpose of that? Or is that a stupid question? lol

**Grant** · 13-10-2013, 07:51 PM

So other cars can see you through the spray in the rain. But then i realised i am not a race driver haha

**WiNgNuTz** · 13-10-2013, 07:54 PM

I see. Yeah, thats kinda pointless, although im sure you can adapt it to make it useful somehow. Maybe. Big Grin

**Grant** · 14-10-2013, 08:54 PM

So, got a bit carried away with the candy purple paint tonight haha

Shitty phone pic sorry

Plan is to get the subframe off and get that painted up soon. For whatever mad reason, i have forgotten! lol

**vlj** · 14-10-2013, 08:55 PM

Such an awesome colour, really does look good!

**devils_fuel** · 14-10-2013, 09:18 PM

I love the black bonnet and diablo look...so becausei'maracecar. but then again would it be rude to say it would look better all diablo?

**Grant** · 14-10-2013, 10:18 PM

Its up to you what you say dude lol

TBH I'm not a massive fan of the black bonnet. I need to do something with the roof to hide the lacquer peel though Sad

so may have to be doing that the same

**devils_fuel** · 15-10-2013, 10:19 PM

Some people get up set with other peoples views Sad

Black roof and bonnet like you say might be a winner as it will break up the diablo or just black roof and diablo bonnet?

**Grant** · 16-10-2013, 06:33 AM

Nah mate, I dish enough shite out, so a bit back my way is fine Wink

I fully appreciate my car won't be to everyones taste. It's taken me a while to get the love for this car haha

**Piggy** · 16-10-2013, 06:34 AM

rain light??!

so your fog lights wouldnt be good enough!?

**Grant** · (This post was last modified: 16-10-2013, 06:45 AM by Grant.)

The idea of a rain light is it's low down, below the level of the majority of the spray, opposed to where the fog light is.

But... As I said...
