where did you get blue wrinkle coat?

I bought it off ebay - you can do a search for VHT SP206 and that should throw up quite a few results - can cost £6.95 plus shipping.

That looks great!

cheers Al - i just let it air dry so wrinkle is less pronounced - might need to get your heat gun and give it a blast to cure it

[Merlin]

Giving it a blast with the heat gun certainly wont do any harm.

[vanzep]

it says it needs to be baked at 200 for 30 mins to cure the paint so heat gun should do that - my oven isnt big enough to fit the rocker cover in - ive tried

[Merlin]

I didn't oven bake our last wrinkle red covers and they turned out fine.

[vanzep]

true

will need to clean up the engine bay as its proper manky...nice new rocker cover should make a difference

though the blue would go well with the phantom grey paintwork..

[vanzep]

Couple of pics of finished rocker cover - im pleased with the results and love the colour - in some lights it looks sparkly like it has a metal flake in it but its just the way the light is reflected - makes a nice to change to red or black



other good news - another set of mega cheap rear discs arrived - top quality

Decided it was time to take the winter wheels off and get the Motegi Alloys on.
The alloys came off a 5th Gen 2 Litre so are 4 stud and so are perfect for a 4th Gen.
I gave them a quick refurb and used 2k laquer to finish them off.
Then fitted a couple of new toyos on the fronts and a couple of part worn tyres on the back.
Everything went well right up until i realised the new alloys would need the short open ended lug nuts - thought i had a set in amongst the 60 or so wheel nuts i have here. No such luck i only had 7 lugs nuts so couldnt fit the centre caps.
Anyway @newkid came to rescue and helped me out and i got the centre caps fitted today and took a few quick photos.
Also thanks to @3rd gen steve & co. for taking the tyres on and off and balancing them perfectly
I think they suit the car









Theres the rusty 5th gen in the background


I also took a few photos of the car with new number plates fitted front and back.
What a difference to the ugly oversized plates it had on before.

[newkid]

Wheels really suit the car. Was good catching up to bud.

Surprised the motegi wheels work, but they definitely do!
You've done amazing work on this car in a short space of time, well done geezer
