Hoogys 2.8

[Davyhoogy]

I'll get it ordered n be done for the weekend

 

[Axelf]

Cool thanks hopefully my side grilles will be on too

 

[Davyhoogy]

Think I'll angle grind the exhaust tips off tomorrow night...
Duno weather just just order cheap chrome tips to replace them

 

[Davyhoogy]

Ordered new exhaust tips, they're on a different thread but thought I'd throw them on my progress too
I prefer slightly staggered to follow the bumper curves, opinions welcome...

Car had a pro clean, detail + protection today too with that competition I won

 

[t-tony]

Looks nice Dave, happy with the detailing? Show us some pictures? Looks good from what I can see.

Tony.

I am yeah, they know there stuff, they were never gona be there all morninh for a 'free' clean but they did well its come up nice.

They did say the bonnet and front bumper have just been badly painted so will never come up great

 

[Davyhoogy]

Was a nice evening so took the old girl for a spin. Still gleaming.

 

[Axelf]

Great picture looking good with the shine still

 

[Davyhoogy]

Chopped my old tips off, not very neatly mind, but they're off.
Then great, the thread on the new tips screw holes has mangled up so I can't attach them. Visit to someone with welding tools needed

 

[Axelf]

Oh dear..... What did you use?? A knife and fork??

 

[Davyhoogy]

Cutting disk but with the amount of room I had I couldn't do a great job. It's gone be hidden so not bothered.
My engine gbox and diff oil didn't arrive yesterday so will have to wait till next weekend for that.
Still awaiting new crank sensor also. Gona be a busy Saturday

 

[Axelf]

Yes looks like you gonna be busy...... I just bought a new private plate for the Z

 

[Davyhoogy]

Can't you just get the holes on the new tips re threaded and stick some new bolts in there?

 

[Axelf]

My tips will be coming off this week hopefully

I tried to put new threads in but when tightening bolts it just ruined them again.
I have access to welding kit so ill just spot weld the exhausts together staggered, then spot weld it to the back box

 

[g8jka]

If you have access to the kit then that will be a better way to go, look forward to the updates.

I fancied one of those spoilers you've got in your pictures @g8jka where did you get it from?
