i see a respray coming along...


pod - August 31st, 2004 at 08:52 PM

yep was lots of chips and a couple of little dents plus where i fixed the rust so better than repainting little bits the whole lot is to be done maybe not to flash but generally a tidy up in the same colour

Looking good pod. What size wheels and tyres have you got on the front?

pod - August 31st, 2004 at 09:09 PM

POD~ looking awsome, u have got me second guessing on what rims 2 go with r they standard caps, cause I was allways thinkn i would put empy 5 spokes with white walls but your front rims u maken me re think it, & that will save some $$$$

Can u tell me what height the front & back is @ on yours?? cause it looks wickd~


pod - August 31st, 2004 at 10:10 PM

yep front wheels are mengles with the standard caps

pyr0 - September 2nd, 2004 at 08:28 PM

hey pod if you need a hand give me a yell i got some gear and all that, ive also cheated and done the certificate 1. tafe course on automotive spray painting ;)

just U2U me or what ever id be glad to help :)

P.S. bugs looking sweet as


pod - September 2nd, 2004 at 09:56 PM

paint will be turquoise and suprise, am using enamel as it really is going to be a daily driver and dont want any surprises from under the paint coming to haunt me.So my brother who was a spraypainter suggested the enamel for the above reasons.
pyro will give you a yell if i get stuck as have compressor and gun and mask just will have to fit it all in with other things to be done:)
C`mon the warmer night time weather as its too cold out in the carport:(

Nice work for sure.

personally cant go past the 2 tone look. I'll get around to doing it to mine as soon as budgets allow.

Look forward to seeing the final result.
