If you did that sort of paint job over here, you would cop a razzing. What sort of response do you get in the UK?

Get a fair bit of Trayner's response of "A Team" but most people like it, and all my mates from oz all love it too. It's just something a bit different, and a big of fun :)

Well she now has a red rear lip too, so the red ground bits are all done now :D Yay!! She's also pumping some bass too now, only a little bit though :lol:

The bass is a pair of 12" JBL power series subs, running off a JBL GTO 14001 amp. That's 1500W RMS going into the subs!!!!! Mmmmm, tasty bass!!

I actually really like it. I used to have a matt black VR wagon that was in much worse shape than this, had done 483,000km by the time i got rid of it, and only got rid of it because my brother in law somehow managed to kill it :S

I think it would look great with just a touch more of the artistic pinstriping (like on the bonnet)

I've been watching this for awhile now, looks pretty decent top job.
But it needs a fresh coat of black though. Also think that you should make a false floor with holes above the subs and put mesh/grilles over them so you can carry stuff without stuff rolling & squashing them? Just a thought.

And deffinitely do an artistic pinstripe piece on the bonnet :)

Cheers :D

Oh it certainly will be getting a false floor in the trunk, that's for sure! Just need the MDF for it first.

As for the black, it's not as bad as it seems when it's clean. Unfortunately she's got a dirty arse at the moment, was driving her for the MOT test (couldn't get on their brake test rollers so no go there :( ) and the auto tranny hose off the rad got a small hole so started spitting ATF out like mad :( All sorted now though :D


There will be more pinstriping going on her, that's for sure too, just need to get the MOT sorted first!!
