Looks great,though i must say i like the look of your parts car if only you were closer i would take it of your hands cheers shane.
mattie ·
car is all sanded down, hopefully it will be polished in the next few week`s all the tinware is at the coaters will be back on thursday..
plan is to put the motor back on the pan then drop the body back on,it`s just resting there at the moment,not long to go now.

haha and it came in a 10 mtr roll it`s that stick on fake stuff look`s ok i think and for $40 it changed the whole look of the car.
Mick058 ·
where did you get the stick on stuff from? Does it hold ok or wreck the paint?
mattie ·
ah you can get from any auto shop just gotta order it in i used 17 mm but you can get 19mm it`s not as cheap tho,
i peeled off some the other day it didnt take any paint off just the paint was a bit shineyer underneath haha.
Mick058 ·
sticks down ok?
boristherat ·
Mattie....lookin great dude! Can't wait to see the final product. Catch up soon no doubt.

Nice look Mattie. Should look the biz when it's all together. The colour looks hot and the wheels set it off perfectly. Those white BRM's you had would've also looked good.
Just read the post, forget about the flash kit!

mattie ·
yeah the white brm`s!! wonder where they are now?? i wanna get em back i shouldn`t have sold the 61...😠
vwtyp2 ·
