zzzzed Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 nothing exciting just some cool pics of it on the front lawn Its about 3 weeks away from being ready to take to work and get some primer layed down Quote
zzzzed Posted February 26, 2011 Author Posted February 26, 2011 i have given my self a dead line to have my car at work ready to put in the booth next fortnight today i fitted up the intercooler Quote
zzzzed Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 well i finaly got it to work and i can see light at the end of the tunnel. I now only have some minor finishing to do before primer and and then it should only take a week or two to rub down the primer ready for paint..Then it is up to my boss and when he can get the time to lay down the paint .. Its a shame these rims dont fit Quote
luvemfast Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Looking good Mick. Bet you can't wait to lay down some paint Quote
Sirpent Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Hey congratulations Mick, Considering the turn you took in 2010, and where you have the car up to now, all I can say is great work, that 2nd pic of the drivers rear 1/4 with the flare just looks magic, once it has color will look damn hot ! You are truley one of the quiet achievers on this forum, well done ! Cheers John Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted March 13, 2011 Moderators Posted March 13, 2011 The paint can't get on quick enough! Excellent progress...can't wait! Quote
zzzzed Posted March 13, 2011 Author Posted March 13, 2011 yeh it feels like it has been of the road forever.. its been around 4 years and i cant even remeber what it was like to drive from the last time i drove it.. All i know is it will not even be close to how it was.. I am getting excited 8) 8) Quote
lightmaster240z Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 It all looking good mick can't wait to see the finish project soon Quote
Ben Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 yeh it feels like it has been of the road forever.. its been around 4 years and i cant even remeber what it was like to drive from the last time i drove it.. All i know is it will not even be close to how it was.. I am getting excited 8) 8) Lol - my bus has been off the road since '06. You've done a complete resto in the same time that I haven't even fixed a blown head gasket and upgraded the drivetrain! We should catch up sometime. Quote
zzzzed Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 yeh man dont you worry.. Once i get this thing on the road ill be cruising every where in it.. So we will be bound to cross paths Quote
zzzzed Posted May 18, 2011 Author Posted May 18, 2011 Its been rather busy at work so my car hasn't seen much spray booth time. We have managed to get a few panels in primer though. Today i received these from rota australia. I Have to wait 3 months for the fronts to show up. So if any one has a pair of 17x9 -6 they dont need ill take them off your hands Quote
zzzzed Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 Finally got it in primer. even when i work in a crash shop you would not belive how hard it is to get time in the both to blow a bit of primer over it. next i will be refitting all the panels so when i block it all down all the lines are spot on.. Its getting closer now ;D Quote
zzzzed Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 I could have but no my boss did because I was bussy doing something working on a customers vc ss comonwhore I will come get that nut sert gun back of you in the next couple of weeks because I still have 1 nutsert to insert Quote
Sirpent Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Nice Mick ! New shiny bits and a smooth body to boot ! What is the material he sprayed on? Just a regualr hi-fill? Cheers John Quote
zzzzed Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 He used a good acid etch and the I am pretty sure it's just a regular high fill primer but I could be wrong. It blocks down rather well. I can find out exactly what he uses if you Like Quote
Sirpent Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 I'd say its Hi-Fill Mick if it went over etch But its grey which made me ask, do you guys use Dupont? I know they have a grey Hi-Fill. Quote
zzzzed Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 It's definitely hi fill but I don't think it's dupont. He usually uses ppg for colour coats. Got me qurious now. I'm gonna have to find out now Quote
zzzzed Posted August 16, 2011 Author Posted August 16, 2011 making some progress. I have managed a dummy fit of all the panels and latches. Im now blocking it all down then after that ill hit it with a couple more coats of hight fill primer just to be sure i have it all nice and flat. Then there will be the final block down and then the colour will go on Quote
