I feel a project coming on!

[MillSpeed]

Well I thought it was about time I introduced you all to my beloved Rex.  After spending the best part of a year in storage, it\'s finally out in the sunsine again.  After taking some snaps, she went straight back in the garage for te \'treatment\'.  Exterior mods will include a FEED Type-II front and a carbon fibre GT wing.  Plus, the side repeaters, rear quarter markers, aerial, rear wash/wipe etc. will all be removed and smoothed before the whole lot is coated in fresh black paint.  On the inside, a Momo millennium steering weel and a pair of Cobra Imola II bucket seats will finish things off nicely.  Current mods include:

Super ARC induction box
HKS dump valve
Zigen5 cat-back exhaust
Mazdaspeed short-shifter
\'99 spec rear lights
17" Rays Mazdaspeed split rims (shit-hot!!!)
Blitz boost gauge
RE-Amemiya steering wheel

Anyways, here\'s some pics

My arch is/was  loads worse than that.  I pretty much fixed it up last week.  Its surprising just how brutal you have to be with the hammer though!

[MillSpeed]

And so it begins!

[MillSpeed]

Yeah, feeling a bit apprehensive about taking a hammer to my FD. Saying that, broke out the MIG welder yesterday....it\'s a strangely liberating experience attacking my car wit an angle grinder!!! Still, can\'t make an omelette n\'all that.

[MillSpeed]

I haven\'t actually got my FEED front yet.....spoke to Ross and he said they\'re working on some new and improved replicas of their own using the last copy they got from the states. He said they should be ready in a couple of weeks so I\'ll be making a trip down to Exeter they are!

Quick question for you all as your talking of projects, how much would it cost for a car respray at your estimates, as you seem like guys who would be in the know about these things.

cheers

The final cost of a respray is dependant on a lot of factors. You can save an awful lot by doing all the prep-work yourself. I\'m basically going to be trailering my filled, flatted and masked car to the spray booth, simply because it would be impossible to achieve the finish I\'m after in my garage using my spray gun. Even then you\'re still talking about £300-£400 and that\'s in black. I\'m sure metallics would be more expensive. The spray shop down the road from me were talking well over a grand to fully prep and spray a car.
