So let's update with today's work , job one was to finish prepping the bumper and to remove the splitter and central grill  I sanded down the splitter as it's actually been painted and was so badly damaged it was unclean able so needed a coat of black which I just rattled canned , as I could not bring myself to waste good paint on something that will be battered on the first drive out   Next up it was time for primer so here are a few pics      Here is a pic of the pug as she stands  Back to it then , as the morrettes where going a different colour to the bumper and grill they needed doing first so here they are , just need a light flat and buff on the face and will look spot on   After it was time to colour and then lacquer the grill slam panel and bonnet and I will leave you all with them drying for the night      |

I taugh myself to paint buddy and it's my big shed/workshop inbuilt so I would always have a place to spray panels , it's not 100% suffers from dust a bit I've got an extractor but it can only do so much etc .And cheers mate pretty happy with them tbh I'm not to bad at it . P's the slam panel wouldn't come off the bumper as the bolts just spin so in thought screw it may aswel freshen it up |

Ok so a small update I recently purchased an omp strut brace , I turned up the other day , as you can see its certainly had it day.   So what to do with it , give it a 5 minute sand down and hit it with some rattle can back and bolt it on? Nah , instead I'm going to sand the entire thing down so it's even and the polish the whole thing and lacquer it  Unfortunatly my supplies have ran low so I didn't make a huge amount of progress tonight as the rust is pretty bad and deep but I did do a small teaser on what to expect  |

I was thinking of polishing mine as well. It is already stripped to bare metal.That, along with strut tops, rocker covers and the manifold. It will be interesting to see how this looks as I'm torn between that and painting them all. ________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

So yesterday while I was shopping for a new drill I decided to see if b&q had anything I could make a intake pipe for My morrettes , I had an old intake cup to start with but it was big and would look a bit crap on its own , so I found some sink pipe kit for £7 and then had a great idea with a spot light surrounding which was £2 , I took the item home and got to work I drilled and few holes in the old intake cup and attached the sink pipe  I then had a test fit with the spot light surrounding and I knew I would be good as it has 2 springs that hold it into the cup   Then sprayed it yellow and put on the car I made a small insertion into the standard air intake pipe so I have not messed with its original intake system    |

I agree, looks better without the yellow-good call. Where do you route the new air intake jnto the orignal airbox? |
