Flex Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The site is a little cumbersome to navigate to be honest something like Keysers build threads are more entertaining, yours seems a little too self indulgent i.e. building your own web site why not just post a thread on a forum like this? All my opinion though, no harm intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu1986 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Thanks for the input, if you go to the min site ProjectAuto.co.uk its shows you basically the projects I have done for each of my cars, I started mainly due to the Amount of work I did on my S2000 and really just built it up form there, I havent mad it to be mallicious or anything I have a few followeres and not all have access to certain car forums.

DoogyRev Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Good work, love the Merc and the S2000 ..... oh and your coffee table is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu1986 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 thanks mate, the S2000 was a bit of a money pit but the final look was great still miss it but better things to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliensurfer Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I noticed that you painted the Brake Callipers on the S2000 while they were still on. Surely this wouldn't be the recommended way to do this, seeing as you can't paint or prepare them fully? Just curious as I'm tempted to see if I can get blue ones on my Zed..

stu1986 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 To be honest mate yes it probabaly is easier to remove them but as long as you clean them well enough you should be fine just I didnt want to take them off then maybe having to bleed them all, if your not fussed about bleeding them and want a perfect job your best bet would be to get them powder coated, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu1986 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 if your looking at my S2000 you may remember it on a Sky TV series called Ultimate Car Tuning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my opinion though, no harm intended. Really? I thought it was ace and a really good effort. I think keysers threads are a bit more snappy but this is a pretty cool way of bringing a few builds together 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbeast35 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 just read your coffe table build clever stuff, but no mention how the glass was joined to the pistons sort of the whole point of the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu1986 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 All i used was a clear silcone based pad that was cut to the size of the piston then the glass was put on top. the pad is virually invisable, thanks for the comment tho ill put that in now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I totally respect him for all the time he's taken on it. I just wanted to give my feedback on the layout etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
