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 - July 29th, 2008 at 12:14 PM

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 - July 30th, 2008 at 02:46 PM

where did you get the stick on stuff from? Does it hold ok or wreck the paint?


mattie - July 30th, 2008 at 03:22 PM

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 - July 30th, 2008 at 04:04 PM

sticks down ok?


boristherat - July 30th, 2008 at 08:53 PM

Mattie....lookin great dude! Can't wait to see the final product. Catch up soon no doubt.


mattie - July 31st, 2008 at 03:11 AM

yeah sticks down ok mick. never had any hassles of it coming off.

thanks darren hoping to have it finished by volksfest i wanna enter it in scs but i dunno if it will be finished i normally run into you at arrons haha


Turbo54 - July 31st, 2008 at 09:11 AM

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!

HGFS - September 2nd, 2008 at 02:14 PM

Shit mattie that's looking the goods. If Paul does half as good with my car I'll be happy as a pig in shit.
Going a bit more German Look with those wheels than resto cal?


Good stuff anyway keep it up.
