New pics of the Cav (no 56k)
Sunday, August 07, 2005 11:32 AM
Well its been a long time since I've had an inside and outside update of the cav so I decided to update with some pics.

First some of the interior











The exterior

Engine Bay




And here is a couple better pictures of the peices of in my engine bay I wrapped in carbon fiber. I had to remove the alternator bracket and re-do it unfortunately because I forgot to add any type of heat sheild under the bracket and the heat from the header turned the top half of the bracket yellow. So unfortunately no installed pics of the alternator bracket.

This was my first attempt at wrapping


My second attempt



All comments good/bad/neutral or whatever welcome.

Amazing attention to detail, I love it. Can you show a better picture of where you backseat was? Like fold ur front seats forward and take a farther back picture. Looks amazing! Also what are those CF pieces you made? What do they cover in the engine bay.

They are 17x7 5-Zigen Inperio M05. They were originally white with a polished lip but I had them powdercoated gloss black.

Everyone thanks for all of the positive feedback so far.

Very clean. I reallly like the interior a LOT!

I think theres a few minor details that would improve the overall effect a little more.

1) Paint the base of the mirrors black
2) Paint the screws in your sideskirts bodycolour
3) If possible fix the little wave in the front bumper


Other than that I really like it. Also, good to see you stuck to one colour scheme for the whole car. Looks real good

Skilz10179,
Haha yeah man I didn't realize how big they were, when I uploaded them to imageshack on my monitor they looked the perfect size. I've never quite figured out this picture resizing.

Jay32m,
All of it is primer/sealer/base/clear minus the where I shaved the mirror handle on the driver side, the dash bezel, and the left and right rear side peices where I shaved all the holes out. But only in the areas where I did custom work did I used any fiberglass.

Dave Dunsmoor,
I couldn't agree more on all three. Tommorrow I plan on painting the screws the best I can get them. I went to the extreme of doing it to the screws in the door panels but honestly forgot the screws in the sideskirts when I did them.
The base of the mirrors though will stay white if I strip the tint, but if I re tint it like I plan on doing, I'm going to have them done.
If I could ever figure out why that wave is in the bottom of my bumper I would have fixed it long ago. Since there is nothing running through the bottom of the bumper I'm not actually sure how to pull the center down to make it stay. I though of running a metal bar under it and finding a way to secure the bumper to it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Keep the comments coming guys. I really do appreciate all the feedback I am getting. Especially coming from the number of great rides on here.

Bro, that is one of the cleanest interior paint jobs I've ever seen...perfectly smooth. Good Job on that. Car looks overall good. Keep up the good work.

dirty elf,
When I gutted my back seats I built a front half seperating the trunk and a rear half. When I wrapped the front peices in vinyl I rolled the vinyl around the edges, which prevented me from carpeting the backside. So I made a second wall that sets just in front of my rear strut brace, so I could carpet it and roll around the edges as well. The area where I put it allowed me to make nothing more than a rectangle to set perfect.


Thanks again for all the positive feed back guys, its much appreciated.

Loving it! Car is beautiful!

One sugestion is to take care of that wave on the front bumper. Mine had the same thing, just unscrew that screw thats holding the mesh in and move it down one triangle on the mesh!

pauls,
My corners are lined up great, and the tops of both the corners and headlights line up, but the bottom half of the headlights do not match with the bottom half of the corners. I lined them up the best I could though.

Cherub (AZ) ,
Wild Weasal and I had a discussion about this in a post long ago. I know the risk I am taking with them like that. Until I install a four-point it I angled them the best I could. It beats having them mounted straight down from the seats.

ruen (Ryan Bauman),
Thanks man. I had figured the wave was caused by the way the mesh was put in but never really checked it out. Thanks for verifying that for me though, I'll definitely be fixing it this weekend.

Thanks again guys for the comments. I am glad people reconize I am trying to keep it as clean as possible.
