thetranquilbass Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 (edited) Looking at a 10 day turnaround. Car was dropped off yesterday so they could begin the stripping process and have the body shop owner coming over in his van this morning to pick up the front bumper and side skirts, which gives me a chance to have a final run through of what needs to be done. He should hopefully be bringing a couple of wheel colour samples, nothing outlandish am going to go the shadow chrome route. Will hopefully get confirmation this morning as well as to whether I'll receive photos of the work whilst being done. Stevie, years is a bit of an exaggeration but yes has been a long time coming, all being well will be ready for the run on April 6th and may consider Crail on the 14th.

thetranquilbass Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 This one Stevie, http://www.350z-uk.c...-run-6th-april/ Twin supercharging is not a consideration at present particularly as am spending a lot of time looking at R8s at present seeing as they're coming down in price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had Alex round about 30 mins ago picking up a new set of MPSS to go on the wheels once the refurb has been done. With any luck I might get a photo or two of bumper and skirts fitted before collecting the car or may hold off until I can get some decent shots on Saturday after picking the car up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get they calipers blue mate Being too fastidious mate, there were stone chips all over and wee bits here and there, so in for a penny in for a pound went for a full respray. Some might classify me as mad for going all out but at the end of the day need some way of spending my money. Will get the callipers blue at some point, will need to have a word with Alex to see if he is still doing them on an exchange basis Edited March 27, 2014 by thetranquilbass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
