ancullen Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Wheel alignments don't cost that much, so having two done won't be too bad.
Pure-SX Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Yeah I know just would of preferred to have it all in. Depending if I can get bob jane to do it late as possible. Ultimately I will get the shocks/springs in this weekend so I can drive it as much as possible next week to give the springs a chance to settle. Then get the swaybars/strut braces fitted early saturday morning, after scrutineering, wheel allignment saturday arvo for track meet on sunday
Pure-SX Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 That would be ideal, however I am not sure how it will go, when does scrutineering start? How long does it take?
ancullen Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Scrutineering is from 10am to 1pm I think. Or maybe it's 11am to 1pm.
Pure-SX Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Hrrm I thought it was alot earlier. Well I guess I wont be getting an allignment after swaybar/strut braces are on. Â I don't see why I would need to either.
Guest Sbox Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 OK, now I'm desparate. Have had a real bad run lately and it just got worse (after my mother died yesterday and was brought back, this is way down the list but not helping). Rhys has told me that my car is too much work for him and he is too busy too do it. Anyone know a spray painter who does good work at a reasonable price. My wife is about to drop anytime, and it was supposed to be our family car as the ke55 is too small for her, me, our newborn and my lanky daughter. Has to be back together in the next 2-3 weeks. Because I'm on compo with my shoulder I'm not rich, spoke to my dad (which sucks when your in your 40's) yesterday and he said he would help out (his idea is that he comes around with a trailer and everthing goes to the dump, then we go to the caryard). I have been trying to keep the Corolla dream alive, but it is starting to look like the end. I have the paint, two pak worth $500+. Just needs a bit more straightening, would be finnished in 3 days by someone who knows what they are doing. Life sucks badly right now, so any help would be appreciated.
Pure-SX Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Damn man that sucks to hear, I might be able to find you a painter, he works for a panel/paint shop(Can't remember which one) but he does cash jobs on the side. I will try contact him for you mate :lolcry:

Far out Gregor, I didn't realise things were getting that bad. Â Rhys had mentioned that he was getting a bit sick of the car not being completely ready to paint, but I never thought he'd back out of the job! He keeps going on about how much he needs money, but he's not prepared to spend a bit of time to earn it. I'm a bit disappointed with him. :lolcry: Â I can't really help with straightening the car or painting it. I'll try and find out if I know anyone that could help out. Hopefully Stephen's contact will work out though. Â Unfortunately I can't think of anything I can really do to help. If you can, then I'd be happy to help in any way I can. Ask and it shall be done.
Pure-SX Posted October 18, 2007 Report Posted October 18, 2007 Just talked to my friend, unfortunatly he is unable to an "side jobs" for awhile as the shop he is working for is inundated with cars at the moment  Sorry mate :lolcry:
ancullen Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 I take it the paint has been stripped back on the AE71? It's too late to just leave it shitty brown, right?
wasfishing Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 mayeb joe (sikuint on boost) could help you out does fairly good prices

Guest Sbox Posted October 19, 2007 Report Posted October 19, 2007 I take it the paint has been stripped back on the AE71? It's too late to just leave it shitty brown, right? You could put alot of the car is small boxes at present. I would appreciate someone asking the guy off boost cruising if he is interested and maybe getting his number. On a personal note, my mum has well and truly rejoined the land of the living and is already being kicked out of hospital. They don't muck around, kill you, restart you and throw you out.
