I got the underbody done today, the engine bay was blue so 4 months ago I've painted it in satin black.Once I've decided to pull the engine out, I could see few places that I've missed plus everything was filthy. This is what I did 4 months ago..

Moving forward, managed to fix drivers side door, it wasn't shutting properly so I took the mechanism out, lubricated everything and working well, also when I got the car the dash was cracked everywhere and it was missing a centre console. The cracked dash was removed today, As you know those 2 bits can be expensive so I waited until they came up for sale ,cheap. The console was $50 and dash was $100. It had a small crack but I've managed to fix it. As you know HDT interior is that specific burgendy colour and at $50 a can I had to prep it all well before the paint. I've painted them all in white before I hit them with burgendy, as all parts were different colours originally.

Get the guy to meet you half way Just make sure you are both wearing hazmat suits and have "I love Dan" stickers on your cars so you don't get arrested for a non approved activity. Moving a 253 from car to car should count as exercise shouldn't it?

You don’t get arrested for such things in Melbourne, just hit with a baton until you understand the reasoning for the lockdowns
