My VS Wagon project, Stato front, soon to be orange!

O shit why u closing? U getting out of the trade?

To many Arabs and KU$TOM shops in my area doing dodgy work for dodgy prices, people don't seem to care how well you can paint, they care about how much they wanna spend, my prices aren't high or anything, but its just not worth doing shit cheap, as I cannot make myself dodgy up a car the way they do. It's not worth me being open. I'll probably go and be a rep or demonstrator.

Shame! But get your point. So many so called custom shops/Facebook custom guys. Hate to burst there bubble but just because u have a door banner sticker doesn't mean your west cost customs lol. Hate those kind of guys.
Do u do smash repair?

Yeap, I did some smash repairs, I didn't have a rack, but my old mate has his own panel beating shop ( he doesn't spray) and I'd take a car there if it needed to go on a rack, and get my part time panel beater in for the more serious shit that I can't do.

sucks a bout the buisness..its the way australia is going now unfourtunetly

but cant wait to see this finished

[MDVXSS]

I decided the wags has to be finished, mainly cause I love the way everyone has a second, third look cause they're like wtf? Stato wagon? And it will be even better once it's done. But also cause I want to sell it and buy a van, so I can start a mobile business, and I can't sell it with a different colored bay.

I dno, I'll see what happens when I finish it.

Anyway. The other day my son got a door ready for paint, but I've been to busy cleaning my shop to paint it. Give it a few weeks and it will have a good drivers door on it, lol.

Yeah, that didn't happen.
Few things have been going on lately, my Son got his panel beating apprenticeship, and its going well so far, only problem is, hes working in coburg. I have also found a job up there so its not to bad.
I'm not to sure what to do with the wagon, cause I'm 80% sure I'm going to be buying a vl turbo off my boss in the coming weeks, and if that happens one of my cars has to go. My choice is, Respray this white with all the stato bits but standard tail gate, then sell it (with orange bay) and have some money for mods. Or finish fixing the vr, register it and sell it, with no money for mods then slowly finish this.
What to do? I'm leaning towards selling the vr.

Well your the first person to not like it, so I guess it's not to bad.

[DAKSTER]

Love the fact that its different but also not feeling the stato front. I think its the colour, I have a feeling it will look great in the orange.. hope we get to see that. Nice work.

Bit of and update, didn't buy the VL, was going to buy a bmw, didn't end up doing that. Anyways I cbf writing it all up again so I'll just copy and paste from SC

Because I didn't get the bmw, so that means I'll fix the SS, pay the rego on the VR and give it my oldest son, and paint the wags for what I was going to spend on the beamer.

Well, I done a bit of work to it today, Got the spare drivers door ready for primer, Fixed up the mess of wiring for the stereo (I swear the previous owner is retarded) and gave it a service.
Pics.
The reason why the stereo wouldn't go in 100%

Dangerous, power touching power.

After a bit of cutting, rejoining and shrink wrap.|

And the door, half blocked, before my son repaired it.
