    I only did that once and it's a rep I'm trying to rid. *Rocking back and forth on the shower floor* Sooo dirty, stink of fail won't wash off. :help:

    Just a couple of progress pics to give you a better idea of how it will look.
    Today I painted a door... :rolleyes:

    The top colour is the same as my z in the back yard :) looks nice...how much did it cost you for the paint?

    Benny_C About as subtle as...

    Looks good mate, loving the 2 tone colour choices too! :zlove:

    ...on another note, can i ask why you (appear) to be running positive camber on the rears?...

    It's my own mix of blue and it was $50 for 2 litres. I still have plenty left for repairs. :D Wait until I clean the dust off it and get shots of it in sunlight. ;)

    Thanks Benny! The wheels are set pretty square by eye and it just might be the angle of the shot but I'm taking for a full and proper D-spec alignment. Should make life a bit easier. :)

    why are you only painting one panel at a time mate?

    Cam ****

    I'm not, but I have a day job. :eek: So limited time restricts progress.

    yeah i understand, in the past i have found it easier to get all the prep done, mask the whole lot and shoot it all at once,

    what ever suits you though:zlove:

    6 of a dozen or half of the other.

    Different situations and circumstances I suppose. As long as it gets done right? ;)

    2k lights would set it off I rekon. Old red and orange doesn't go with the new paint ;)

    :) I saw that! lazy lazy. Good to see your using some equipment this time around mate instead of rattle cans :rofl:

    Mitch Has one gear: GO

    That's the least of his worries... we should compare this with the 'after' pics after a few laps around the drift track. Zip ties, stickers to cover dings and removed front and rear bumpers are basically mandatory in that sport, aren't they? :D
     
  16. Cam

    Cam ****

    Exactly! I'm building a drift car, not a show car. I'm not wasting the extra effort and dollars over a few small dents when the doors will be a prone hit area haha. :cool: Even the finish isn't perfect but I can sand and buff that smooth later if I feel the need to.

    Andy, you already brought that up, and 571CKY uses rattle cans, not Cam. :D

    Cam ****

    You see it too!

    I've been eying these out for a while now. Might grab a set if I can sell my wheels.

    Eric fabbed up the last 1/4 of my exhaust today. It's finally complete! Sounds tough but a little quieter than when I was only running test pipes. :p
