cheers and yeh good to get it sorted, but am getting bored with this repair now :/ Still, a bit more progress, including a repair to the arch dings i had, and have applied loads of base coat to loose uneveness and am now at undercoat stage.

good progress there with the painted rims and brakes fella, wheels look a good job. before you take the existing cams out put the flywheel to top dead centre by spying through the bell housing plug, then simply realign the dots on the KR cam gears with the 9a cam gears that you remove, the small dots should face each other, and the line in the belt pulley should match the top of the cylinder head. yan had some pics of his cam timing on his 16vg60 thread recently for reference.

managed to get a few hours during this weeks evenings to sand back and refill the filler repair a few times to the smooth finish i have now, already given it a first coat of base coat :)

welcome along, have you been here before or something?! get some pics up :)

looks great, tell me more about this clothing paint then, does that require special skills?!

hey kyle welcome along, nice looking set of wheels there.

lovely mate, had a red Freg GTII myself, a motor with real character and went well too. i'd have another in a heartbeat - only lack of time and garage space stops me :)

ah man that's a ****er, another 'ding and runner'.

pretty good progress today; - finished welding the filler cap up, ground the welds back and got first layer of filler on - replaced the rubber elements of the fuel pipes and cleaned the rest - got the tank back on with new clips - got the car off axle stands for the first time in 2 months.

great work :) how are you preparing the parts before painting?

that's incredible they're that unique, i took a much closer look at mine, some tabs are broken and i've got bubbling under the laquer, i intend to paint mine but the condition they're in will make it difficult, what i might do is get cheapo universal set like yourself and then add a speedline decal to them - bodge complete :)

good question Jay! am trying to do everything myself and don't have a lot of time at present, plan is on the road for 6 months from May onwards.... front subframe and then cylinder head is next, not major jobs but an hour in the evenings and a solid morning at the weekends makes slow progress. you ever find the centre caps for your vento cups.... mine are wrecked so i need some?!

woohoo check my status out lol, thanks for that. new format is definitely a grower, liking it more and more :)

a little more progress, have spent last two weeks prepping and base coating the rust spots on the rear arch, and also found some more rust on the underside at the rear which i took back to bare metal, prepped and then coated with at least 6 coats of paint :) all areas now ready for a little waxoyl. also prepped some small panels for the filler repair, welded these in yesterday, admittedly i'm not going to win the pretty weld competition but hey i'm a beginner and the penetration is good and the repair is solid. have now prepared the inner section of the rear filler cap and the screw points for the tank, and have already given it a couple of coats of paint, pics to follow of that. plan is to get the tank and wheels back on this weekend so at least the car is pushable, will then weld the outer panel - pics to follow of that.

ok gripe time :) i've been making monthly payments for a good while as well as the odd donation, everyone else seems to have 'donator' status when i don't - can my status be adjusted please as I'm getting paranoid my payments aren't being recognised or appreciated!

one of the members threads on here experiments wth it but i've clean forgotten his name, doh. maybe bruny? its a white vr... name will come to me lol

i've lost my subscriber status but I'm still paying?

plan is to get the filler cap and the rear quarter panel seam welded over next couple of weeks, then its a quick prep and home spray, then get tank, new fuel lines and bumper back on...

well time has been short lately, and what with the freezing weather over christmas i didn't fancy lying on my back too much, still got a few things done; - eventually got round to replacing the rear ABS sensors, ABS light is now out - changed all the exhaust hangers which cured the exhaust knock i had - i dropped the fuel tank to replace the fuel lines which are perished and fixed the static wire, but fue lines are on hold whilst i sort the filler rust, thankfully have caught it before it started eating the inner panel too, still going to be a ball ache to fix though :| - am also cutting rust out round the rear quarter panel and starting to sort some bubbling on the rear arches - started using an electrolyte bath to strip stuff for painting, works really well, have taken both the tank straps and bumper back to bare metal and repainted them both. pics of progress;

Swpmpy is right, wouldn't let us have footage but were happy to check themselves on our behalf. Lots of stores rent there car parks of the retail management company, so often the car parks are operated by a.separate security company, theRe's usually signs about like cobra etc

ask the supermarket/ car park operator to check their cctv, a bit of additional prrof if they have it. someone properly rammed the wifes car and drove off last year, completely smashed the wing and the car park security company were only too happy to check their cameras - sadly didn't catch that incident though.

i think they have both, could be wrong, always had the 1.8 myself?
