Nice mate! Can't wait to see it all put back together.
Looks like you did an awesome job on the paint, good stuff...
Oh and a quick question regarding the painting, all up how much did it cost you to do it all yourself? Including buying the tools? Thanks mate.

Thanks heaps dude!!!!

All up the paint, clear kit, primer kit, thinners,plastic sheets, filler and paper probably close to a grand, also needed a much bigger compressor, airline, lights, reg and water trap which was another 7 to 800 bucks. I already had a couple of guns and a mask, my colour gun was around 250 and its great, does the job fine and a sundstromm mask will set you back I think around 100,120
