dreamin Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 (edited) Hey, i've been doin this for about 6 months now. i have it at work so i do a bit on my lunch breaks, after work when i can and on sat mornings. thought i'd put up a bit of it. Nothin special just a stock 30 with a 3K and 4spd. I got it for free so can't complain! Over not a bad little car. My plans were to give it a quick scotch brite and matt black. :) That went out the window of course! Just got away from me. Started rubbing and didn't stop. I now want to get it as straight as i can and spray it the colour of the ford rip curl utes. (greeny blue) And now i want to put a vn v6 in it. Cos they're so cheap. pics wont work. it says they're too big? it only lets me use 1mb. how do i put them on? each pic is at least 2mb EACH Edited May 3, 2011 by dreamin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason KE30 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have that problem with pics too. Just start up a photobucket account and you can resize them that way. It takes a bit of effort but oh well. The car sounds like it's a pretty nice little project. Havin a v6 will make it go hard as! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolliac Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 This is how I do it. • Open the file you want to resize in Paint • On the toolbar select Image • Select Stretch/Skew • Chang horizontal and vertical percentage to say 70% • Save the file and check if it is small enough • If not open it again and change percentages to say 50% and see I always save a copy of the original picture.

dreamin Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Been pretty crook last few days so here'a what i've got done last weekend and during the week. this side was absolutely shagged when i started, i was gonna throw it away but i wire brushed it with a 5 inch grinder, welded up a few rust holes and it come good! boots done too. i completely seam sealed it so there will be no boot rattle if i decide to put a stereo in it. i have a few pics of the doors which i will put up later. could only fit these two up without reducing them too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
