Custom Bootlid Project.....Painted PG4

yeah guys, wtf is going on

 

Yep, this aint cool


Anyway that looks really good Andy

 

darrynk ----> Your a fukin prick!


t_r_d posted a pic of his car and u have gone off on one? Whats the problem? We can all see the tailgate is a different shade in the pic but ive seenthe car at inters and it looks spot on.


Also i think its about time u got the boot!!! Who left u be a mod in the first place

 

Just figured out the number plate ligting aswell - can fit some clear side reparters in under there, with a modified numberplate bulb holders

 

Clever Andy, but how are you going to make sure they are sealed up as to not let any water/dirt in through the vacuum that is created when driving. IIRC standard ones sit in a rubber seal and have crap rusty screws holding them on which are a complete fatherless child to get off when you want to (or is that just mine?!). Side repeaters just sit in the wing quite losely.

PS Not dissing your idea, just thinking about the future and keeping it looking good.

 

good work there

but you know that filler will crack,right?

only joking.

neil.

 

Tiger seal shall be used to bond them on


Not a huge chance of the filler cracking, the tailgate is very strong at that bend so it wont flex

 

andy just out of interest,what will youy do around the lights?

seam weld then grind down or just fill?

neil.

 

Its bonded around the edge, the panel is trimmed to a close fit, then i have filled with epoxy resin instead of filler as its stronger. Tne just wet n dry'd it til it was the correct shape.

You cant see it in any of the pics as i did that after

 

ahh right,no probs i was just looking at the second pic presuming thats where you were at.

neil.

 

I really like the look of that and it looks like a top job, you've got some skills.

 

cheers! i love you too

i only stated that the bootlid looked a different colour in the pic and i was told i was self-indulgent - that's what i objected too, thats what got my back up...
and what it is to do with you i'm not quite sure...

i don't need the boot - i've been considering giving up for ages, it's just not not worth the hassle.

Well here's the latest pics, high buil primered and flatted, 99% ready for paint now - very pleased with how it cam out

 

you know you want the bottom half cream and the top half black!

good work!

 

Youve made a great job of that!

I recon that will look great on the car! When you gonna put the paint on?

 

Actually that would look really good on a two tone car with two different colours, i was worried how the line would look when it met up with the tail lights as they have a line in them which is lower, but i think it looks fine, but want to see it on the car for final judgment.

 

The bora's dont have the line meeting up with the clusters, so i think it will be spot on looks wise

 

Lookin good mate

 

andy, that's great, but the boot looks a different shade from the rest o the car
