Hi All'
I am at the stage of jacking up Blaster and wanted to know the do's and don'ts and where exactly the jacking points are it is a '69 pan under a c.'67 body (If you need that info). I have a good pan so I don't want to damage it.
Next question is I have 3 different colours in mind and want the most "WOW" colour, they are Soul Red seen on most mazda 3's, Celestial Blue on mazda 3's or a aubergine purple on lotus exsige's.
Thanks in advance.

Soul red (So far the winner in my families' eyes).

Hi

Unless you plan never to scratch your car, steer clear of pearls and metallics.

My son just had his wheels painted in Mazda Soul Red, its a very hard colour to get right.

Are you going to use your baja as a baja?

Do it in a solid VW colour

No he is going to be a 99% street car but with off-road capabilities and looks and maybe once or twice in the sand with my uncle and cousins who all have manxters and manxs'

I am still thinking Aubergine Purple over the two other really shiny ones as I just found out how much they are. 😂

Yes by about $800 because it is pearl not metallic or metal flake.
