Half way through fixing the roof lining. I plan on doing it a black vinyl.

[SMURFTEC.]

get some pictures up matey!

[Kirbs]

I have one of the outside, I'l put that up. I am waiting to finish the rooflining and for her to get a good wash before I take some photos.

[Kirbs]

Rooflining is nearly done, Once material is on and it is back into the car. Might rip the hubcaps off tomorrow and retrim the doors in the same material. It's a black vinyl. She is getting a wash tommorow so will take some snaps and put up a proper thing.

[Kirbs]

Didn't get around to washing her today, Instead I took off the mudflaps, Painted the visors, Put the material on the hoodlining, Removed the rest of the badges and took the rear strip off the bumper.

[SHANBANGER]

can you post some pics?

[Jo3_Blo]

Sounds like a steal........ get those pics up mate.

[Kirbs]

Pictures up now. Will take some more bit later.

[Jo3_Blo]

Not bad, seems you got it real cheap.......

[Jonnii]

nice pick up for 2g's. Just five it a bit of a clean up and youll have something nice. With the interior just keep to your blacks greys and whites. Any wild colours will most likly look tacky. roof lining sounds nice

[Kirbs]

Rooflining looks like shit haha. I tried spray adhesive, 2 Types followed both instructuons and it didn't work so used contact cement, Stuck a little to well, It has quite a few wrinkles. I got some paint today so I can paint trolley strips and rear boot garnish, Might have a go on the door handles aswell. I also recovered the little cloth inserts in the doors. Now I just gotta pay dad back the 500 bucks for insurance and start saving for wheels and lower. After that I want exhaust and extractors, then a better stereo. After that should be all good.

[Jonnii]

yeah thats it mate just save save save. one of the things i regret doing was spending the money on stuff i didnt really need. ohwell only young once. When do you go for your licence??

[Kirbs]

Umm, I turn 17 on the 18th of December but I don't get my P's until the 30th. O well, It's better spending it on a car than on piss and drugs

[Kirbs]

Painted the rear garnish today. Cost me $15 for primer and paint. Should I clear coat?

[Kirbs]

Half way through painting door handles and trolley strip. Gonna give her a bit of a polish on the weekend. I am thinking about either buying a straight VL and chucking a 5ltr in it or building up a turbo ecotec for this beast. If I choose VL this will be my daily if I turbo it might get a little pulsar run around.

[Kirbs]

Painted door handles/trolley strip

[Jamie-b]

whats the point of getting a 5Ltr VL, or turbocharging this?
you wont be able to drive it for 3 years...

[Trayner]

hey man the door handles look good , how did you go about doing them ??

[Kirbs]

Thanks man, I just got a can of touch up paint from supercheap and some plastic prymer, Cleaned them off with prepwash then gave 2 coats of prymer, 3 coats of touchup. If you ring holden parts and tell them make, model and series they can give you a code, Then you go into supercheap and tell them the code that holden gave you and they can look it up in a little book and tell you the touch up paint you need. Be sure to mask up all around it and take your times, A thin coat with no runs beats a large coat with runs. And Jamie-B, I'm from W.A, No restrictions on vehicles we can drive over here mate (Y)

[Kirbs]

Well I didn't like the look of the painted trolley strips so I decided to rip them off. Half way through the passenger side. I am also thinking about pinching mums VX clear indicators.

[Kirbs]

It needs to be dumped haha

[Fonzie]

Good effort with the painting... I'm wanting to do the same to my boot garnish and mirrors. I think the slight paint color difference would shit me though... Going to the pick-a-part wreckers tomorrow to find some factory white ones.

Yeah, The boot garnish looks alright and so do the door handles, But shit the trolley strip was annoying me haha.

[njb1988]
