Lord,
Nice job of cleaning up the back box. That's a standard exhaust with a branded trim welded on though.
Where are you going to get the shell blasted? |

Firstly had some Good news. My mate Sold dave came up with the goodies from Japan.
Came in two packages!!
Anybody any experience of removing the bushes from sub frame???? and replacing?
The instructions are in Japanese and the bushes are colour coded?
Right. Day off today and worked on the car. Picked up my mate AJ and we began to work on the carin the morning. Today was a sign of progress believe me!! The main aim of today was to undu the engine mount, gearbox and all other wiring linked to the engine.
Engine bay
Cappo engine out.
Today is the start of the final stripping for the engine bay to be painted i suppose. Just gonna have a good look at the engine. Make sure all is well.

Just a quick update really. Stripped some parts off the engine today. Was just working on the car briefly to see what I need to do next.
Ended up sanding the front bumper for 2 hours and it's come out ok so far. Still want to sell but no takers as yet.
Got the rear subframe in my car and off to have the bushes removed etc. Any tips on front subframe?? In terms of removing bushes? Any does or dont?
need a few other things like boot seals etc

Well. Just a quick update. need to get a bit of consistency now the weather is getting better. Ive had all the subframes out now and looking to get them either shot blasted or sandblasted over the next few weeks. Just need to order new boots for front and back subframes.
Thought I'd catch up on my wing mirror challenge. (Sneaza have a look at this lol)
So i cut the holes out I needed to do and started with the fibreglassing. The whole Idea was to get the LED indicators flush inside the mirrors. getting there slowly. Here's a few pics of the progress. I want them finished by the weekend ready to be painted!
Inside the Mirror.

Would mask off the Light using Gaffa Tape....because it's thicker than Masking tape and won't rub through when Sanding.
Then would use 'Fibreglass Body Filler' (because it will bond better) and smear across the whole thing pushing into the gap, taking care not to much pressure on the lens, as the Filler starts to harden, with a Stanley knife blade, score the edge of the Lens, this will allow you to sand the area and when you remove the tape, it should break away easily to give you a clean edge.
When dry Sand off smooth...........Then remove the Tape from the Lens |

I've decided then.
I'm not going to go all out and PIMP the caps to something it isnt, massive wheels and big bumpers. I just want to make it look nice and standard, feel smooth like it came out of the factory, have a nice new interior and sound system!
Removed old BIG spoiler....
Replaced front bumper with standard....
No mad colour schemes....just a rover 75 dark red... and standard roof colour/ wheels same colour.
just a pointer of the direction mines going! lol

Just bought a few bits really. Just thought i'd share with you guys what I have bought now.
First is the boot rack. Thought i'd buy this as I'm looking to do a bit of touring in the future!
This is probably my second modification lol I bought this as I love the design! It's just a simple design too. Should help studry up the front end too.
Ive got a set of rear mudguards.
All my engine mounts! should be three of them!
Like I said. just a quick update guys. |

Lil update on last ever lot of purchases!!! Not buying anything else for a little while now! lol
First of all. Get myself a little can for my sports rad.. Can someone enlighten me as to what this does lol
Want the cappo to be reliable and I know these cost an arm and a leg. Well worth the purchase, costly tho.
For my engine.. ideally I'd want it in black but its ok.
Got a bag of bits n pieces. Some badges and some engine bay bits to tidy up.
Gave my other mats away and bought these. Look nice but quality isnt as good as originals!!
This part is rusty to hell on my cappo! Previous welding job done to a poor standard!!
Another panel rusty on mine!!
Waited ages for this one to come and it finally did!!!!
Thanks Cappuccino sport! x

some sort of radiator breather tank or external header tank?

"Radiator Header tank.
Used when a remote fill point is required or when radiator cap requires raising to be the highest point in the system." |

Hey Lord. Getting quite a collection of parts there mate!  When did you get your suspension top mounts? Did you get them direct from Suzuki Sport? I just got new springs and bushes from them this week, and at the time I placed my order, they told me the top mounts were discontinued  What sort of suspension system will you be using? |

Well, I got most of my parts online through ebay, doing a few dodgy dealings, like swapping lol
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suzu.....222dc#ht_1187wt_1141
I swapped my mounts for that clutch that was never gonna fit mine lol Try this link. There's some left on this link!!!
The pods were through salerooms on ebay. As for suspension, it's all about wat wheels i go for and what look I want. I'm more than likely going to go with 14's or 15" wheels. I've not looked into it fully but I need too...! |

Very Dodgy Swapping Dealings
I got them as aprt of a complete set from Monstersport Japan i already had the fronts courtesy of ebay, so these were surplus the rears arent really necessary unless your running a savage plate diff an need to counteract the slow speed torsion forces generated when turning by the diff.
Couldnt believe how small the clutch was but it did highlight an issue with a german manufacturer who is making the wrong size clutch for the cappuccino.  hopefully they can get me a replacment for today |

I'm also soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo pleased with the lights! They have to be the most wanted item on my list! I was pleased to get them believe me!
I can't wait to get it on the road myself.. it's just expensive lol Need to get a rear subframe and all the bits next! Got some more ideas for the caps today after attending KeiKarsinthePark..
Literally just got back from it! Good little event that was! Met a few more members and some interesting people. |

Hey Lord!!
What is the likelihood of being able to get my hands on a pair of those front headlights.
I suppose the obvious question is. Where exactly did you locate them and how much? |
