Caution! Men At Work!!

Oh.... look at my poor Primera:(

Its currently under going a serious face lift so heres the story so far.......

sitting outside, in the cold and rain, looking all dirty and pitifull:(

Anyway, the guys started off by doing the rear bumper. If you can remember, the rear spoiler im adding if off a totally different car, namely a Vauxhall Vectra, and here it is.

As you can see from above, the diffuser has actually got three mounting points, the two sides, and a middle support, but all that has been changed. I needed to raise the height of the diffuser, as i suffer a lot from scraping on the rear, so its now been cut and blended into the sides of mine. Also, you may have noticed that the middle support has been removed, filled and smoothed, this was because it wouldnt centre after being cut. We've now opted to support the diffuser at each side of the tail pipe with fabricated supports.

heres a closer picture, and this is how far he had got on by friday morning.

All I gotta say, is you one lucky man :finger: :finger:

Im probably more excited to see the outcome than you are lol :)

She will look good when its all finished !!!

Looking yummy! :D

That'll look sweet once its done. BTW, will those outer taillights from the P11 GT fit the P11s in the States?

They should, they are the exact same thing except for the colors switched around.

I started looking at the pics before I read the text and I was like ":eek: Oh, no, another AF curse victim!!!" LOL!!! :silly2:

Good luck! I'll be watching for completed pics. :D

Oh Man!! now you making me nervous, G thanks man:uhoh:

Is the spoiler currently on you car available for purchase there. I love that look spoiler. If so how much is it and where can I buy one ...

I may have to fly over to England to get one on my next assigment from MI6 ...

Do you mean the boot lid spoiler?? if so, its a genuine nissan GT spoiler available from any of the parts departments over here. If you really want one, let me know and i'll price one up for you.

Looking foward to the finished result :eek2:
How long till its finished Kev ??

Dude that looks so awesome...you need to show off that ride more :)

heres the progress as of monday morning.

notice how he has extended the lip around the tail pipe.

heres a side view, you can just make out how far the difusser sticks out from the bumper.

P11GT, could you price the taillights on your car for me? I want mainly the ones on the outside, but want to know the price for all of them. I f**ked mine up when clearing them and need to get new ones. Thanks a lot!

i'll do my best, but im busy these next few days. anyway, ive gotta get a price for the spoiler aswell.

Take your time, I am in no hurry what so ever. I gotta wait for Christmas money anyway :).

I gotta admit, that spoiler looks nice :D

it's looking nice Kevin!! good luck with it!
hey, u gonan put on the nismo grill that i got you?

yeah Luke, grills going on shortly. He just started to work on the front spoiler today, didnt have my digicam, but will take some tommorow of it.

heres wednesdays progress.

starting to look nice in primer.

heres a close up of the sides where hes blended it into the rear bumper, faultless i think.

here he is sanding the finishing touches to the arch, which he fabricated from fibreglass. This was not part of the rear diffuser, but he thought it would be a good idea for support aswell as looks.

heres a overview of the bumper.

The old guy, thats Drew, hes the owner of the bodyshop, and also a good friend, hence the time and effort spent on making this possible.

Front bumper finally taking shape now.

of what we've seen so far the bloke's done an excellent job.....will look the bizz once finished..:)

notice how he has filled in around the licence plate surround, as the spoiler if from NZ and has a smaller recess than the UK.

nicely done, we need more hard working people like that here in the states. :D yours is going to be original as well. it looks like he molded the rear lip onto your old bumper, right? and the front looks like he cut your old bumper and molded the bumper from the Vectra on there?

yeah, the front looks easier, but believe me, hes had to cut alot away of the OE bumper, as the stillen spoiler was slightly different in dimensions.

oh BTW, AznVirus, check your PM's

P11,
I'm suprised you didn't break out the bondo and fiberglass and mold it yourself. lol.

Swonder, d'you not think ive done enough already:D anyways, im working on the subbox, seeing where i can put them LED's:D :D

OMG.....It's going to look great when it's all done Kev.

Keep the pics coming....it's intresting to see how its all going.

:eek: Yup that's going to look something sweet! Are you going for a full repaint in a new color or color matching the new kit to your stock color?

nah, im just gonna keep the same color. heres thursdays progress, hes got it all done and now in primer. hes some pics from the oven he sprays in.

heres another

and another

and lastly......LOOK AT THIS!! He even made me a grill to go into the front bumper. Its made from coppoer pipe, bent to form around the mouth, and then mesh is spot welded to the rear and little brackets fitted for mounting onto the bumper later. Nice eh??:D

Looking great! :)

ah i wish i had all the materials so i could do that myself. im jealous :eek:

to the guy who done the excellent job
:ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper :ylsuper

kevin...ya lucky bugger....:hehe:

Eerything looks excellent.

You should make a mold of that front end.

Looks great...and boy am I now jealous...

Does he ever tell you that you startin to get on his nerves... showin up every morning taking pics. j/k You got tha hook up man. That back bump looks so fresh and sooooo clean. Not a big fan of the vents on the front bumper but it still is a good job. How does it feel to get all the props from everybody? You probably feel like the shizzle my nizzle.

I appreciate all of the kind words left by everyone. It feels nice to know that people enjoy what im enjoying, and thats doing up my motor. Its hard to share this type of thing around here because of all the scum bags, who just wanna steal ya car, so online, its a nice friendly place.

Nothing much to report today, the bumpers just need the finish colour, so he's moved onto preping my car for a respray down one side, as i have a few scratches and dents, so heres the pics.

Some shit bag left me a nice long deep scratch on thr front wing, when i used to park my car on the main road outside my house, now i garage it daily and nightly, even if i know im only gonna be in for half an hour, this is because you just can trust toe rags to leave things alone.

paint looks good, he resanded your entire car and painted it again? damn how much you paying for all this? is it just 1 person working on it all? cause if it is, props to him, damn patient. :p

theres a total of four guys that work at that place, and as yet, i dont have a clue how much its gonna cost:D i'll guess i'll have to sell my BUTT!!!:D
