Himself i should think, don't make fun of the poor boy, he's obviously delirious.

So....

What a weekend. Working on the car non stop saturday and sunday. Good though as got all stuff done for the MOT and some.

Got the refurbished and lowered rear beam on. Was a right ballache as the piece of shit, bollox designed fucktard of a PH2 rear beam had the load compensator on. So had to swap all the brake lines over onto the new beam with the compensator. Chewed up a fair bit of time, but done now

Got the '6 Brakes fitted, just need a tad more bedding in now, and fixed the blow in the worst

Next on the list is the decat exhaust, fit my plasma dials, finish stripping the front (remove front carpets, cut dash down etc), fit aero catches and then see what money is left next month





Excuse this crappy last pic, was late and raining

Sits a lot better now me thinks

Nicely done dude keeping the xsi lump.or going back to a 1.8?

Nah probably going 1.8 again. XSI lump is so damn heavy it ruins the balance of the car. Horrendous understeer

Nice, good reason to be honest still going the turbo route?

Looking good chap, aiming to get it on track?

Bit late to the party on the subject but the girlfriend is now even more convinced about the sexual connotations of owning a Diablo after reading this thread!!!

Time I probably updated this really.

Its fully stripped at the rear now, only a spare wheel, dash and seats remain.

And.....

Since my last update where it wasnt too much different to this:

No way! BMW frozen grey?!?! You fugging hero!

What? You've wrapped a wing?

Cool story bro!

Wrapped? Pussy.

I want to see rattle cans.

Yeah, only did a wing, gonna do the roof and doors next



Ordered some of these, MK3 golf wheel arch trims:



Some smoked side repeaters too, and gonna paint the bump strips black to match the wheel arches...

Really need to get some sill trims on there as well. You dont realise how much of a difference it makes until you see one without them!

They're down the garden waiting to get wrapped Looks wank without...

Sweeeeeet!

Also needs a phase 3 bumper *cough* *cough*

Is that in your back garden still? Avec splitter? x

It is indeed, probably growing things on it by now haha, I've still got your old rear bumper too lolz

That looks awesome dude, can't wait to see the finished product.

looking good babe

Interesting project, look forward to seeing the golf arch trims on there. Are you doing the wrapping yourself?

What's a phase 2.5?

Half way inbetween a ph2 and ph3

Nah seriously....its basically a ph2 with the odd ph3 thing on it.

Such as. Factory added extras that are also on phase 3 or extras added on by the owner

Late ph2s were called ph2.5s because of some of the things they came out the facotry with. E.g boot has a sealess window and doesnt have that strip along the bottom.There is some other stuff but i cant remember what

Right I get you now. Is that why the dturbo S came with phase 2 front bumpers and phase 3 front bumpers. One more question do you know if the d turbo s was only made in 98 on a s plate because all the ones I've seen and gone to view are a s plate or is this a coincidence

They also done a DTurbo s in ph1. Usually an n reg
Came in either sigma or some weird green

Not sure on what you mean about the ph2/3 bumpers as you said front lol

Also back on topic that grey is really nice grant! You didn't spray that did you?

The trims look quite good IMO, mocked them up today, they need a little trimming but will fit pretty well in the end I think.
This is what they look like fitted:

Cheers Phil its wrapped in vinyl. BMW frozen grey. I think the grey will go nicely with that black bucket seat you want to sell me haha


More progress today:

Wrapping the doors. Split it under the bump strip to make life easer


How its looking at the end of today




Got some ph3 sills to go on. Fitted the black side repeater that looks a gazillion times better than the orange ph2 crud.

Hopefully going to do the passenger door and wing tomorrow, and roof if all goes well

please loose the gay fake carbon bonnet....

Its keeping me engine dry at the moment...

We dont all have deep enough pockets for real carbon panels

It will probably go grey with the rest of the car in the long run anyhow

Looks like a really decent job you've managed there mate! Can't wait to see it finished up
