Adam's bodywork thread

[Paul Woods]

We thought it might be cool to show the bodywork side of things up here as well,so heres mr H's 1.5 getting the WS treatment.

We found a bit of a belly in the rear quarter panel above the wheelarch,probably caused by welding distortion or other,but it needed to be put right....

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/163.jpg

Although ad was happy with the wheel arches we agreed the outer lips could do with straightening up and reforming so the outer edge is nice and uniform...

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/164.jpg

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/165.jpg

Also there was no gap between bumper skin and bonnet so we adjusted this with a big hammer and a block of wood,now it has a perfect gap...

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/166.jpg

And the engine lid needed sanding down/refilling/sanding down etc.....

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/167.jpg

Theres a few more days prep left and then it goes into primer and paint.

[Jiff Lemon]

Mr Woods, you got to do MORE threads like this!

Could watch bodyworks guys work all day, it truely is an art form.

Decided on the colour scheme yet Adam?

[biteme]

I think it should be hearing aid beige with a hint of manchester grey :)

Agree with Jiffy here though Woodsy - bodywork threads are all pukka, especially as you'll be doing a colour change for me soon!! :)

[msherry21]

yeah Jiff, I agree. great to see how these things are done....It really is an art form.

[Garbe]

As above but also you get to see the amount of prep that needs doing - its not just chucking paint on it.

What colour is it going to be??????????

[Marksman]

Damn, poxy Vodaphone has flagged these as 18+ content and won't let us see them, argh. sounds good though :hmm:

O.S.

[Rowdan]

Damn, poxy Vodaphone has flagged these as 18+ content and won't let us see them, argh. sounds good though :hmm:

O.S.

Then phone them and get the content lock removed...you are over 18 aren't you? :hidesbehi

[Marksman]

I'd love to but it's a sim in Miss Owen's work laptop and we've no idea what the account details are... Will look into it upon return to the UK though.

Over 18? altogether far too close to double that now, tis depressing really. If I don't finish a MK1.5 in the next few months they'll probably get taken away by the geriatric police and replaced with MK2's...

Hi-jac over (sorry Adam),

Owen.

[Paul Woods]

owen you cant see them cos the content IS over 18 only! im naked on the bonnet of adams car smearing hobnobs all over myself provocatively :)

[superchargedsam]

:puke: thanks paul just put me off me lamb chops that has!

[Paul Woods]

i hope that lamb was killed by natural butchery means and not some bizzare welsh sex act! lol

[Marksman]

Dunno who's done what but I can see them now! Have one of you kind souls hacked Vodaphone or has PW regraded his snaps? Anyway either way I'd like to echo other's comments, that's fine work fellas :praise2: (Thanks for the mental image there too Paul.)

All the best,

Owen.

[Paul Woods]

a little update... the filler work is now completed....

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/171.jpg

and its now all masked up ready for its high build primer coat...

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/172.jpg

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/06/173.jpg

so by tomorrow it will be all primered up in one colour,then flattened off again ready for the respray.

[Paul Woods]

oops forgot to add,roof is being done separately as that doesnt need high build,just the bits of the car that have been modified.

[Marksman]

Stonking job lads. That thing looks mean just sitting there 8O Looks better and better as more is done. I might stop reading this thread now and just get the full wow factor at JAE!

:praise2:

[Charged]

Looks great.. cant wait to see the finished results! Are they Mk1 Golf extended arches again? Are you able to fit the side skirts back on or are you going to leave them off?

Ollie

[Gary Symons]

:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[adamh]

no side skirts ollie, they are going free. although similar to golfs, these are hand crafted steel by a hob nob extremist

[Shorty]

I totally agree Jiff. Not much info or stuff like bodywork on the net and the ones i ask seem to want to have it secret...? Anyway, :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

Great thread and it got a cover. This will be one great sight when finished!!:)

[Paul Woods]

well here is most of the car primed,it showed up one or two pinholes which dean will now tackle before painting but shes otherwise primed....

[roseward]

Not sure i shuda said that :confused:

[Garbe]

can't wait to see this finished - gonna be awesome - for a mk1 lol

[Shugsta]

:brill: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

[Paul Woods]

rosey,all depends how much needs doing,welding,dismantling etc but a rough price guide is around £1500 for a mirror flat professional repaint... and includes paint/materials.On cars that need panels fitting and arches welding in the cost goes up.

Booking wise theres about a 2-3 month wait at the moment as dean has quite a bit of bodykit work to get through.

There should be some pretty cool pics posted here tonight if all goes as planned.

Oh I can't wait for Adam to get his teeth into that! I'm trying to restrain myself from posting a few engine bay and bodywork shots but I think that should be left to him!

Feckin Honda driving southern jesse was worried that Adam's good lady was gonna kick the crap outta him.rotflmao

Looks like your neighbour has been blown out of the water - obviously one of these that "judges a book by it's cover" - how wrong can you be :hidesbehi

[superchargedsam]

Quote one of the not so cocky cocks on the thread:

"Doesnt seem at all Barry to me- the multi coloured paintjob -it has obviously been prepped for a new fresh coat."

Oh how right you are my friend and oh how I cant wait to find out what mr photographer drives, personally I bet he drives a huge jag to make up for his obvious lack of cock and balls in his little frilly g string he wears, and to quote Mr Hobbes that happens to ryhme with Knobs which is defo what he is:
I had to do a bit of blagging about a friend who likes "doin' up cars" to escape without harm.

Couple of funny quotes from that thread:

As it is, it's reasonably subtle and if it wasn't so damned tatty you probably wouldn't have even noticed it.
Maby not but wait until Adam started it, you would notice!!


It's a standard MR2 Mk1 with a subtle kit being added
Yes, all standard:thumbsup:


tbh i don't think i'll need the reg to recognise this pos but fair play to you for getting the photos
Back in you cage!!!!


*wants it*

Great looking kit on it, nice alloys and the possibility of engine work with the 'bonnet' scoop.

I like
:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

I was going to sign up to tell them, but then i thought, why bother. See, it already attracts attention. Your gonna get so laid Adam. Your girlfriend will have to stay on her back 24/7 to make sure you don`t straylol lol

[Paul Woods]

sorry chaps,had to sign up to that godawful site and say something,morons!

[Sponge Bob]

I know it's a sin, but I am dead jealous Ad... that looks glorious!!

Excellent work from Woodsport

[Paul Woods]

i might just hang around there to wind them up a bit,after all thats what that place is all about isnt it? knobheads.

[superchargedsam]

I think its all this bad weather we are having but every forum I am on at the moment(apart from TB obviously) which covers 5 car forums and 2 bike forums there seems to be angst about something or other! Sooner the sun comes back and we all get our dose of vitamins the better!

[Portgordon]

most of the folks are actually being positive about the car....:shrug:

[superchargedsam]

I know it's a sin, but I am dead jealous Ad... that looks glorious!!

I wouldnt be jealous Ash it dont look anything special and I aint that fussed over it :nosegrowingveryveryverylongsmilyrequiredhere:



I seriously cant wait to see this work of shear(oh look I used an engineering word, now waitfor some to tell me I spelt it wrong as per!) engineering genius!

[Sponge Bob]

Yeah - on that forum a lot of them are just misguided about what it actually is... only a few bad eggs lurking amongst them!!

[whoozy]

looking good,nice work

[millentubby]

damn you Woodsport! - more carporn! I needs paint :( *orders more hessian sacks*

[loadswine]

That finish looks mint already, can't wait to see the whole thing!

[Paul Woods]

yeah i was only venting my spleen at the original poster,most seem to like adams work and quite rightly so,the cars a credit to him.

[Marksman]

[cheech]

Well said Paul! and excellent vids. The car will look amazing once you're done with it!

Yer bruv.

PS: Dont slap that bloke...thas my JOB:thumbsup:

[adamh]

mr woods, and dean no less you've made an old man very happy, something the old woman is finding harder to achieve these days :D. that is a superb effort and i thank you all at woodsport for putting in the final effort into my motor which i can say was a fantastic effort and well documented. i'm looking forward to getting it up and down the strip and generally further tuning to make it worthy of the base work. and also sitting home and drinking beer instead of chaffing the knuckles lol, liquid refreshment on the way to woodsport.

thanks guys,

adam

:thumbsup:

[nuttasie]

That paintwork looks great.Can,t wait to see it all put back together.

Is that all that website does,take the piss out of something they know nothing about.Do they ever show there own cars or do they all drive corsa's?

[wardie]

geees... thats brightened my night.. and i thought i was bad with my forum reading... let alone being a member of one that pathetic. people like that get my blood up big time.... live and let live anyone?

how about a wild west style convoy to said block of flats? get twobrutal on them!

well done setting it straight guys, and the car is looking awesome..

[wardie]

oh an apostrophe and a comma are not the same things.. stupid barry d**ks!!

[loadswine]

That's what I think is ace about this forum, its constructive, well pretty much anyway :lol: If you are always taking a negative approach to things, its darn depressing. I had a brief look around there and have to say, was quite depressed after that much concentrated negativity.
We can have a rant from time to time, but we always focus on the good stuff, and there is plenty on here!

[biteme]

That's a sweet motor .. .saw it last Saturday ... top stuff mate!

[Shugsta]

Mmm mmm mmm, now that's what I is talkin' about! Awsome stuff Adam. Paul & Dean have done you proud mate.

[Paul Woods]

today she was unmasked and flattened and polished...i took the wheels off and gave them a right good rub down,the previous paint applied by mr H acted as a very good high build and i managed to get them mirror flat....

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/07/50.jpg

This is them with subaru impreza wheel gold on them,i left dean to do the laquering up so i havent actually seen them laquered myself.... oh and the centrecaps too...

http://www.twobrutal.co.uk/forum/images/recovered/2007/07/51.jpg

Also dean has prepped and started to paint the rear bumper....

Car looks fantastic :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: .

Adam if you are driving back down past grantham with it this weekend feel free to pop in for a coffee. I will be on the drive trying to get my car looking nice for JAE.

[Rowdan]

Stunning..nuff said. :thumbsup:

note to self: remember XXL drool bucket for JAE.

[loadswine]

I have to say this is going to be one ace Mk1. Looking forward to seeing it all together.

[biteme]

Man this will look sweet!

[superchargedsam]

bloody he ll that looks feckin awesome and I dont like helios but that is as sweet as the european sugar mountains!

[Paul Woods]

we added a touch of pearl to the paint to liven it up a smidge sam,it has a bronzy/gold effect running through the helios in certain light,looks awesome!

Oooohhh - pearl......:drool: :drool:

[mart1975]

sweet! we need more pics....

[adamh]

gob smacked :mrgreen: you naughty old boy :D i remember a brief talk of a smidge of colour in the paint a long time ago. i get to drive it for 7 hours solid aswell which is going to be an awesome trip back, lets hope the weather holds out this time. what can i say, the attention to detail is off the scale, the preperation is 110%, the paint looks perfectly 'just so', the guys a legend.

[Marksman]

Well bugger me, it's a blue car with gold wheels, methinks you'd better park with all the others on the scooby stand at JAE :hidesbehi

Only joking, that is a work of art, credit to all involved.

Hint of Pearl? Exceptional, we like that a lot here! (Also for a bussiness sense it means you have to take it back to woodsport for any touch ups as only they know the secret formula! Maybe the pearl is provided by including ground up hobnobs in the mix?)

How about a red bumper and some stickers to finish it off? :hidesbehi

All the best chaps,

Owen.

[Sponge Bob]

My god, that looks amazing!! I hope you're going to come past Bedford tomorrow Ad ;)

[superchargedsam]

its not much fun now, on the national express left at 6.30 arriving at 16.45, it smells like a whores arse crack in here.. :-)

[Portgordon]

7 hours, blimey! I thought I was bad coming down from Aberdeen! As you say though, plenty of road to enjoy on the way back down!!

Seems Paul is quite perfectly placed between the scots and Englandshire to get business from all corners!

[Paul Woods]

mmmm the smell of a whores arse crack,i believe jilly goulden once described the aroma of a 1956 chateau chauvignon blanche that way lol

[Sparky]

Hey Adam can you make a stop off in Australia as well on your way back. :D

Paul did you paint it in Helios Blue to disguise the sex wee that Adam is going to do on it when he sees it. :D :D

Lot long now Adam.

[Paul Woods]

adams wee is helios blue???? jesus i hope not!

[Paul Woods]

Right Mr H has just been to collect his baby about an hour ago and is at this moment steaming south in his newly painted 1.5 .... we took quite a few pics while he was here so i should warn 56k ers to go make a cup of tea or summat! anyway enjoy the final results of 2 years work,the cars a credit to adam....well done mate.

The world tour has left Milton Keynes; Adam H was looking somewhat dazed, so we fed him choccy hobnobs and coffee before sending him on his way back to Brighton. He probably won't remember today at all - it'll all be some pleasant dream he had!

Stunning car and absolute credit to all involved. Paul, you'll be pleased to know he even cleaned the dead flies off the front before setting off so they didn't set in the paint!

[BSM]

one word........"stunning"
hope you got home ok Adam, you looked like you needed an autopilot when you left us.

[Sparky]

congrats Adam!! Been watching your progress for the entire 12 months I've been here. Amazing car!!!

[lodgeman]

adam! do we have a possible jae show and shine candidate?

[David Sleith]

Well done mate

[mart1975]

looks great adam. enjoy!!!!!

[nuttasie]

Amazing job ... can't believe the progress in a week!

Its a pitty Dave ain't like dean,We would be happy as F@ck if he was mate.


To Adam,Your car is awesome mate and I hope you enjoyed your trip back home in it.

[Paul Woods]

well we do have a TRD kit to fit later this year so i expect we will see how quickly one of those really takes.

[loadswine]

Utterly brilliant looking car there, what a finish as well.
Ace!

Trouble is paul,If Dave does eventually get the kit finished and takes the moulds.It will be an excellent fit so whoever buys a kit of him will have minimal work to do.

The trouble is Dave is taking far to long to sort it,but once he does finish things compared to other suppliers his stuff is top class in quality and fit.And believe me I ain't stickin up for him as I've had enough and are going to get my car back in the week in a state worse than I took it,and kit less as it is on johnny's car,and that was over 8 months ago.

Believe me mate,its a good job I ain't like my brothers otherwise Dave would be in a lot of trouble and pain!

[cheech]

Superb looking car Adam. :thumbsup: I'm just gutted I wasn't in the office to see it in person when you stopped off in MK on your tour ;). Well done to everyone involved. Great work as always!

[Garbe]

Awsome car - had the pleasure of seeing this in the metal on its UK tour.
As BSM said - hope you got home safe and sound, probably still sleeping eh

[Shugsta]

good to meet you all last night, ash sorry it was too late time i left MK @ 11.45 , just needed to go home at that stage.

old timer :poke2: without your legendary fabricting skills and relentless kicking of my arse :thumbsup: none of this would have happened, so well done to you mate you deserve the credit. i owe you something.. how about a knackered welder? :rofl:

[Shorty]

I just got home and WOW. Stunning!!! Looks like million £!

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :praise2: :praise2: :praise2: :beer:

[lodgeman]

cheers mate:rant: lol

[Maritime_mr2]

Wow that is some unbeiliveable work. how did you craft the the fender flares? also is that the stock bumper just leveled off and smoothed out?

[Paul Woods]

well i gave these flares to adam from my project car,i made them out of sheet steel and sliced angle section for the arch lip,so that gave the basic shape but full credit must go to adam for the painstaking filler work that gives the final finished profile.

[adamh]

the bumper there maritime, front valenece?, is eurosport which is at the sides blended into the flares. I took the whole front end off under the mr2 bumper as it was rotten. if using an aftermarket item as such, there is no point in having rotten metal / any metal for that matter underneath, off with the whole lot :thumbsup: , its reinforced with alluminium sheet left to right and that is also bolted onto the front lower crossmember under the rad, there are some notes here..

[Maritime_mr2]

Wow nice work, your car is pure sex now and i can see why. but eurosport? do you have a link for it im still alittle confused is this a factory made part for mk1's?

[Marksman]

The Eurosport kit is an aftermarket body kit of front and rear bumpers / valences, wheel arches and side skirts. Adam chose to use just the front nose section from the kit.

Here are some picks of the complete kit on megatron's car clicky (http://forums.twobrutal.com/vbpicgallery.php?do=view&g=53)

Hope that helps,
