Longerz Ongoing Build Thread (Picture Heavy)

[Longerz]

Everybody loves a build thread!

---

Just thought i'd bundle all my progress pics into one thread and off the other fourms so i can keep track and most importantly, will keep updated at some point

So the the first car i had Pug 306 lost its lower engine loom to a very sharp car park bollard but hey ho so i ended up getting a zr looked at many turned out to be complete wrecks





so having driven the car for a year the dreaded gasket started to go got it all fixed before it went major and had some ass custard running around the engine


managed to find a nice magnex xpower back box pops nicely under heavy acceleration and slowing down past 2.5k


then after doing a 120 miles a day decided the standard zr speakers and head unit sucked so swapped them




fitted the radio out my old car





and got hold of my sub



Got fed up of boring looking and under performing brakes so i ordered some EBC turbo disc and greenstuff pads
;

Did a mini service whilst in college so had access to all the ramps and tools











went and swapped the side repeaters as they were all cracked an faded to the focus style ones



Added the rally style flaps help keep the car clean bah blah blah yes it is wonky


next on the list was to get rid of them ugly lights so picked some trophy lights up from ebay £25 posted look so much better then these what ever they are called




then came the callipers and drums to be painted black drums and all red callipers
cleaned all the rust and grime masked up the centre then painted matt black for the new wheel arrival








machine polished the car to remove the swirls and light scratches







then came the tinted heko wind deflectors




so this is how it sat for a few months


then the boss had some carbon wrap left over so he gave it to me so i did the centre console


had the rear 3 windows tinted one down from limo
