    Skruba, if we kne whow to use a spray gun, we would have. but this is a new technique and we had time to spare so we went for it. We want about 1500 to break even.

    i reckon you might be able to get a little more for it.
    Paint came out pretty good, still looks a bit cloudy, but still very impressive for a home job well done guys

    Does that mean it's sold? or do you just need to store it somewhere else?

    So here is what is happening with the car, first a quick pic below. I've some wheels with full thread on and remove the front bulbar.



    The plan is to respray it, lower it a tiny bit, and decide on some wheels.

    Choices are:

    1. White with black bumpers and stockies.
    2. Shiny red with black bumpers and stockies.
    3. Blue (refer to next pic for colour) with nice big rims.



    Once the this is done i'll think about what i can do to the engine.

    WHY have 3 cars? what kind of question is that

    On the side note, took the tow bar connection thingy off, saves weight . One day when the opportunity arises i'd like to take this car on the strip just because i've never been to one and want to see how it performs.

    Yeah, gotta do that as well. Maybe the aircon as well, but not sure how to remove it yet. By the way Troy how did you sand the car? just regular sand paper?
