id thought id quickly update the progress on ruby. The new engine has settled in well and not one issue to report. She now has a fresh mot but struggled real bad on emissions even after a new cat but they all struggle. We decided to have a change in wheels and colour, when i say we i mean sam and i did as instructed
Id bought some speedline corse wheels ages ago but due to my calipers they wouldnt fit on the 205 so some how i had donated them to ruby. They were powdered coated in a bright blue and was just horrific so i took them down to my good friends in cornwall and we blasted them. Blasted up real nice after carefully deciding on blasting media. Over the next few weeks i rubbed them back and got a good few coats of etch primer on them followed by a good coat of high build. Then after looking a paint samples we came to the colour shade we were looking for. This is the first time id ever touch and used 2 pac paints and i can honestly say ill never go back again its absolutely brilliant paint!
so this was the out come, i dont normally praise my own work but i was extremely pleased with the out come.
