Project Ugly Duckling. SR86. 'Haters gunna hate, Tyres gunna bake'

Black Swan eh?

Let's get rid of some Red.

Despite a few people trying to convince me to keep the red, its going.

First off I ordered a sample of Gloss Black Car wrap vinyl. Instead of trying to do a panel straight away I figured I should see how closely the colours matched



Not too bad!

Only problem is the slight 'material tape' texture you can see up close under the wrong light.



Thing is I noticed a problem on the rest of the car under certain light...



If you look REALLY closely at the bottom of the rear bar you can just make out that !!! But the vinyl seems to have matched well! So I think it will be a go-er.

If you look at the car from front on (and can't see much red) it actually looks OK.




OK, now that atheistics were out of the way, it was time to start the real first step of any ground up build: Pull everything off the car!











That is the I've had on any of my cars! In this photo I added a picture of Mount Rushmore (for Scale):



It is a shame to pull this turbo out as it made the most satisfying induction whistle!

Anyway, that's all for now. I will continue to pull things off the car whilst I am on break, so stay tuned!

Also, I will need to start moving parts on to help finance the rest of the build, so you can expect some for sale threads/ eBay auctions from me in the not to distant future!

Ja mata.
