so im just in the early stages of working on my car and gonna use this thread to update my progress and get help when in need.
its a '95 vs exec. and im currently removing the double pinstriping from the sides. one side came off clean took ages though now doing the other side and starting using a hairdryer to warm it up while removing it. made it heaps easier but it's left a residue i cant get off. should i get some cutting compound and some elbow grease?
im also taking the plastic trolley strips off i took some off and wasnt too hard but has left some horrible bits over in the below pic, should i get a razor and gently pick at it while warming it to get the larger pieces off then buff it with cutting compound too?
im also tracking down some wheels the ones in the the mock up are looking like a go at the moment if anyone has any reccomendations love to hear along with a body kit that too looks like itll be a vs clubby one too.
i noticed this the other day too should i be worried, should i do something about it or will it be fine?
another thing too on the drivers side rear quarter panel is this weird paint damage. the only way to describe it is like similar to on old surfboards like real rough and cant be buffed out. i was thinking getting some primer filler spray, sand it down till smooth and get some colour coded paind and go over it, thoughts?(the third pic is the real rough surfboard like damage)
lastly and this would be sometime down the track i wouldnt mind shaving the rear handles but i hear its illegal, have to contact the popo about that one.
and other mods to do are things like new redback exhaust, new diff, and some shocks to lower her.
thanks for reading
that black shit underthe trolly strips is urethane, its a #### to get off and cutting compund will not get any of it off.
you will buff thru the paint before anthing happens to the urethane.
but yer looks like a good base to start from. good luck.
