TDavis' Platinum Warrior build

nice! I have the same ones but red.

find some more foam double-sided tape, the strongest you can find that won't melt, as I've found what they included in the kit only stuck for a month or 2

You might've been the person I asked where you got it on Facebook lol

What diameter on the OCC hose covering? I looked into it once and never got around to measuring.

This particular OCC is the Damond Motorsports. I got the 1" sleeve and it fit perfectly

I have the same OCC. Put the sleeves they sell optionally on and they were hard to put on and collect dust and crap easily. I'll look for some 1" sleeve like you got there. Looks nice.

Got my stock headlights out of storage that had like 150miles on them to put on since I've sold my current retrofit. Looks odd as I've seen this car with the retrofit for most it's life 😂. Don't look bad, just odd.

Hoping this will kick my butt into gear to finish my current retrofit with the euro lights

Ordered some G2 caliper paint. I've always wanted to try their paint as I've read nothing but good reviews on it. It'll definitely test my patience considering it's brush on but I'm up for it.

The color I chose was Grabber Blue from the Mustangs. I think it'll look lovely. It'll definitely look better then the matte red that my front calipers have turned to and my rear chipping calipers.

are you planning on sandblasting them or something? or just scuffing and putting it on?

Just cleaning them up thoroughly and scuffing them. Not much needed to apply, just obviously have to clean tf out of it and scuff it. Kit comes with some brake clean too lol

Where did you buy this?

Ordered a set of Euro headlights. The plan is to retrofit them with better HID projectors and paint the inner plastics. I'm going for this look here.

My current retrofit might be up for sale eventually.

Im "working" on the exact same project. I started it 2 years ago. Got the first headlight apart, but then the second has been a huge PITA. I worked on it again a few months ago. I'll get there eventually.

You're gonna like the G2. Ive used it on a few cars (gold on the FiST) and it holds up great. Just use it quickly as the two part setup won't stay around for touchups.

Lots of great rally drivers, (and pro cyclists) from Cymru-land!

Yeah I finally got one apart after not caring for awhile lol. Trimmed the projector bracket, just need to see if it fits now. It's been a slow process.

Yeah I hear you have 4-6 hours depending on temperature once the activator is mixed in

Got my calipers painted this weekend not 100% perfect but damn better then they were. With paint on applications its not gonna be 100% smooth, thats just the nature of the beast. But its self leveling and theres 0 brush stroke marks. It's an epoxy paint thats really durable and will last

Went to OIR last Sunday. First half was in the wet, second half was dry. This track is a blessing to have so close to home. It's AMAZING
