JDM Familia Interplay BG5P Restoration

[Scrummatron]

I have to remove the lines under the car and the couple of heat shields I showed earlier to get a good clean under seal application but I’ve all the wee brackets off for zincing,...and cars not gonna run without an engine so don’t need them right now,...

But car is sitting happily in the shed,with minimal/no deterioration to the work I’ve done already so just gotta sit tight til cash is available for the spray,..inc under bonnet,inside boot and under car.

The color & pattern of the interior on the red sedan is beautiful. Don't recall seeing it before. Keep it going.

Never ideal to draw attention to rear drums vs disk rotors. Maybe you can keep those painted black. Just a thought.

It is pretty snazzy,.....it’s common enough here,and a low spec,but if I was a bit more flamboyant I’d defo consider it.
It looks better up close than in pics too.

[Scrummatron]

Lol,.....
I used to laugh at painted drums years ago ......
.....and still do when I see them

I’ve changed plans a little at the back,I will elaborate in the coming days.

[Scrummatron]

Eventually the car was picked up,....I think at the end of October.
Though it looks like summer in the pics.

It does look a bit sorry looking there,but hopefully when it comes back it will be something special,....or at least last another 25 years til I croak.
Everything is inside,fenders,skirts,spoiler,petrol cap,light trims,mirrors etc.

After all the hoo-haa with an original engine and brakes etc,...I have altered the plan,.....a bit.
will elaborate in the next few days as I’ve a fair bit to catch up on.

[Scrummatron]

Can’t remember exactly where exactly I was,...but the car is gone for painting.
But the guy “got tenure”,..lol....
and the painting has been put off a couple of times,now looking like the end of summer.
with the spooky virus around,and “working from home” now cool,...hopefully will be done in next couple of months and I can move onto the put back together piece of the build.

Lots more bits n bobs came back from the zincers,...and the powder coated heatshield looks real good.
So I’m gonna send the other 3/4 for the same treatment.

[Scrummatron]

I had to stop naming and numbering the cars,...just cos I started buying a “lot” of them,..so won’t be doing that anymore,.....pheeew.

But the ranch has plenty of occupants still,with some coming and going since last year without even a mention here.

But as always,bg parts available from them all to anyone who needs them.

[Scrummatron]

Slight camera upgrade can be seen also .lol...

Anyone who is on Facebook or Instagram,and following along here,can like or follow both pages if they want to keep more track of the cars I get or parts from them instead of gumming up this thread with them.

Still not 100% on the name,....but it’s functional,...
Will be plenty to see on there soon as I only started them,....to try to fit in with the young cool people

Funny story,....I’m not using most of them now,...sigh.

After lengthy consultation with several peers,I’m gonna be a sheep I think ��
