Well another update!

Blocked down the right side of the car this morning to get it into paint for mid day, due to the small size of my place i can only do one side at a time. Luckily i managed to get ahold of some iso free sk clear which doesn't not harm people etc, it cost me ALOT more but it means i don't have to worry about the health of myself and other when painting at home.

Just finished basing and clearing the right hand side, will post some pics up soon. :)

Yeah mate its staying blue with a black roof, i got bored so decided to do a prisma roof.


Well well, sure has been a while between updates.

After a few months i have actually just finished painting the body (ive been a bit slack!) Just starting to put it all back together. I will be painting the bumpers next weekend hopefully and then the whole car will be finished. Will then need to get a battery and have the brakes bled and then its off to get rego.

this was going to be my daily while my good car got re painted, seems i finished off my good car before this one :lol:

But anyways, its came up alright off the gun, once i get it registered, i will take it down to my work and sand it back and buff it.

Heres a couple pics of my good car and a decent paint job of mine :p

Well another update me thinks:

I finally go around to finishing off the body today, finished fitting up handles, door cards and locks and bonnet. So now it can go outside while i just finish off the bumpers next weekend. Once i finish off the bumpers i'll give it a good tidy up and wash, buff and vacuum.

I might paint the wheels silver, they are pretty rotten as is. After that, just gotta bleed the brakes and throw some rego on it.

Anyways heres some more current pics....

Yeah mate i have decided against doing it now :p

Well i took it for a quick drive today around the block, must say...for a car that has sat and not been driven for nearly 2 years, it drives and changes gears quite well.




Just have to wait for a free weekend so i can paint the bumpers, sand and buff car and then detail. I will probably have to look into doing gearbox fluid, engine oil and filters too, doesn't hurt to change it all anyway!
