No Dave... you will not get the whole car chromed, anodized or powder-coated. In the immortal words of HAL from 2001 a Space Odyssey "I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you do that Dave"....
It's already got pink bits dude, so forget the bling... I wanna hear that puppy running !!!

Joel wrote:sides nothing wrong with a few pink bits ๐

Heh heh - yeah
I always change something visual on the car each season... you know, so I can pick which year from photo's.
Last year it was phone dial rims, but this year I figured go with a flower power theme... so one of the big off-season tasks has been putting a heap of pink & yellow frangipanni stickers all over the back window....
NOT !!!

here i was thinking there was a suggested electroplating place everyone was talking about, disappointing guys :P
666bug, take pics of the strut tops when you get them, id like to know if they have changed at all
the ones mustard posted appear to be jefferys from japan, cool stuff, shame theres no email listed, been trying to get some gear from him for awhile, language barriers suck ๐

sorry to dissapoint there dave...
sides, you still didnt answer my question..
colonel mustard wrote:sides, you still didnt answer my question..
Sorry Mustard... not sure which part was the question, but to cover all the bases:
- nope - no pink bits
- yup - Jezebel will be at Mt Cotton this weekend... first outing for the year and for the new combo
- will you see for yourself... sure, if you go along !!! Actually, if you want a challenge I've just thought of a couple bits in her that might be pink...
