mckenzie's / Shaun's SR

[Shaun]

still more to go mate! but will all be done tomorrow as boss is back friday!

the old repairs fell out lol

Oops Well let me know when you can get it back to me if your avoiding Mr.Boss the sooner the better
bit nervous about colour matching now lol
Sure it'll be fine!

 

[will930]

can only check it against the inside of the boot but it will be spot on as your colour has no other shades according to our computer! if its out then your car is wrong!

Well if my car is wrong then i will be polishing it alot lol.

 

[will930]

dont worry mate it will be close! if it were a door it would be a different story because it has panels around it but the boot can be slightly off to the rest or visa versa due to no panels directly beside it apart from bumper but then the light will be different on that so will look different again

 

[Shaun]

Yeah but i gotta redo the bumpers anyways

 

[will930]

indeed you were saying! indoor lighting makes cars look different colours but outside it will match perfectly

 

[will930]

[martinb]

Excellent job will/shaun, looks like a pukka job mate

Would love the White boot done when I got the doe

 

[Shaun]

(Y) lookin good shaun :grinning:

 

[Shaun]

(Y) lookin good shaun :grinning:

165/70's that's all they had... 3 uniroyal rain experts and a unbranded thing...
rubs on the back when you slam off of a bump too quickly and ever so slightly rubs on cambered corners... No biggie either lower tyres or arch rolling will save this (Y)
Hopefully i'll get better pictures tomorrow...

 

[karlj]

The high tyre walls don't look that bad

 

[Shaun]

The high tyre walls don't look that bad

They're not but was hoping for a bit less rubber... the tyres are a bit soft on the tyre wall hence the rubbing...

 

[karlj]

Wish I could help you but the only spare 13" tyres I have are 165/70 and 170/70

 

[euro_micra]

Good to see you've got them on finally(Y) Agree that less tyre will look better, but have you thought about white-walling these??

 

[will930]

you need 155/70.r13 will give a little more stretch

 

[Guy]

Car's looking fantastic Shaun, have you put some sort of filter on the pic's? They have a sort of cool hazy effect like a Photoshop filter .

 

[martinb]

Pleasure today Shaun, see you soon buddy

 

[Shaun]

Ta, Ta and Ta...
Err.. no filter on pictures just cheapy old iPhone pictures from my phone...
went to the RR meeting today and i never want to go on a motorway again! - Boring!

But was good to everyone that did turn up!!

Thankyou! just need to get a little less tyre on there and i can get that little bit extra lowness out of it!

 

[johnbr6]

The spraying of the bootlid and the parts on it have really improved the car mate, spot on now!

 

[Eire]

car looks great bud just get some tire shine on them babies makes a world of a difference to them

 

[Shaun]

Thanks all but the tyres will be changed as soon as funds allow...

 

[will930]

I like how shiny your boor lid is shaun

 

[markbognor]

I'm kinda liking the bulgy tyred look - retro racer ftw!

i do like it but tyre rub on the front at the moment is hell at best.

 

[Shaun]

Have decided on some serious things today... :down:

As long as you're not selling up, then it's all good (Y). Hope it's nothing too serious...

i have sold 2 micras in my past and am still with it... not planning on going anywhere yet. just a few things may have to change with the car.

Good point (Y). And I saw the avatar change as well. I'm sure that whatever you choose to do with the SR, it'll be right for you (Y). Keep us updated :grinning:

 

[Shaun]

Got that bored today i made a video of the progress of the SR...
Really hope payday comes round quick lol

[Shaun]

Just Voltage checked the battery in releation to my odd starting situation and the battery reads 12.5v
so i could probably rule that out, gonna test it whilst running in a bit, noticed there is melted black plastic squeezing out of the alternators negative lead....
i take it this is not a good sign?
:down:

Will get a picture this evening if i can...

 

[Shaun]

Car seems to start everytime now... possibly it was just a bit upset it was sat for so long...
Oil change was done over the weekend.

Noticed my boot has been punted or shunted or nudged with something as there is now a little crease on it...
Paint wasn't even a month old! grr

Hope to bring you guys some Raunchy updates soon!

 

[will930]

put up pics of the boot!

 

[Stani1029]

I don't have a boot handle any more? lol

My car is like this at the moment Before dent:

Haven't got a picture of the after dent lol it is only tiny but it bugs me.
not even any damage to the bumper so it must of been something odd. ie. not a car.

Loosing a bit of passion in this car at the moment. :down:
