Hi all not been on here for ages I did the banana car thread. Still have it but is the daily driver I was going to put in a kswap.  But it is to nice to use and so I got this red car and plan to make this a light weight set up. With a k24.

This car is way better than the 03 I had it come apart easy. The only part that is bad no surprise the abs bracket. Can someone confirm that Yaris wishbones fit ? And my they scimp on the paint in the engine bay and frunk no bother upol raptor liner will sort that it's the best just like deox c amazing stuff

Been getting on lots of parts being dipped cleaned painted and also engine bay and frunk coming along. Still not ready for paint but not far off now. The wife been helping with the engine lots. Been fun so far.

Looks like you are making very good progress there!

Last time when I did the banana car build I sent a lot to powder coat but this time I got new compressor and spray gun and all the gear and with my spare time been learning to paint. Now I have been painting leather for over 20 years so was not to bad and will save a fortune.  Spoke to Paul at tcb as I have gave him a very big list lol. As for the cost I think I will post wha5 I have spent so far. It is not a lot as you will see. And deox c is the nutz.  Getting paint has held me up a bit but still many parts to recondition and the hammerite is the nutz to

How did you find spraying with the gun? 

What's your setup if I may ask? 
Compressor and gun

Just got me a 50l compressor and a vouche gun but it's more about the process. It's time consuming and well worth it. Base and clear is so much better , but lots to learn about prep mixing and how to use the gun

So at last the main dealers are open so finally got the last few engine parts just a delivery from Tegiwa then she is complete.

justinread72

 :o 2k clear arrived and I have finally painted the engine bay and frunk. Don't worry not missed a lot as upol raptor will be used on the other parts.

Need gearbox built and clutch and the k can go in yes !

justinread72

More prep and paint , gona get a big brake kit so no need to prep the fronts, more prep on the body over the weekend and then raptor time

justinread72

For a car that has no rust (20 years old ) more protection upol raptor liner applied it takes a lot of prep !

justinread72

Gearbox dropped off to have longer final and LSD put in,

Seriously wish I could do this.
Maybe I just need to get a cheap runabout and just tear the car apart and do it

Finally I have put something on the car a absolute mile stone, break in the weather and it's all painted. Next up get the broken dishwasher out the garage (very long story! )
Then it's all about parts and getting them on the car
