Hey All

 

Well after a long time unregistered sitting in the backyard, My road car is starting to take shape. I have almost had my P's for 9 months and havent had a car to drive around in besides little errands for mum and dad (booze run, going to shops when they have been drinking or they are just too lazy to do it themselves etc.) but thats another story for another day.

Dad originally purchased this car for $700. Dad used it as a work vehicle and loves it so much he has even offered to buy it back off me if i get sick of it. Through my parents deal (they pay 1/2 for my first car) i got it for $350.

I have gradually done up my car to make it look a bit more respectable and have done it very cheaply.

 

 

What i started with. (Dad did the spray work)

 

I sanded it back once but it didnt get sprayed so it sat rusting, i sanded it back again and the progress begun.

 

Then i filled in the large dents etc with "metal tech" (no photo's of this)

 

Then the respray (some old toyota hilux white we had lying around)

And then 2 cans of export spray paint with some septone clear coat for bolt on bits (grill etc.) and overspray.

 

Not bad for a first time home job. Especially for the age of the car.

Dad was a Big help with it, he sprayed it for me.

 

Cheers All

Nice, looks great. The bull Bar needs a coat of black though.

I didn't see a problem with the red all over it randomly! :D :)

Go the Scat :)

 

I have a trayback one of these sitting in the backyard I'm going to dump soon, let me know if you need any bits :D

I don't see the problem with the red random spray paint either.

my mate is suggesting we redo it like that. But i don't like that idea. It was a big effort getting it to where it is now! So to go all the way back...I don't wanna go there

But cheers for the comments.
