Yep, $120.

 

I'm pretty darn stoked with it. They were off Kingsford Smith Drive, Langfords I think.

 

Its really hard to go to work each day knowing that with a few days work the 71 could be transformed.

 

The 4ac is good for 7000rpm+ so I'm just enjoying it for what it is and not worried if it cracks up on me.

Looks sick matt!

Checked the oil in it today.

 

Not even on the stick. Topped her up. Didnt miss a beat. It wasnt far off the stick.

 

Its just gotta last 4 weeks or so before its out. I reckon it will. The car just clicked over 398000klms today.

4ac's don't need oil... it only leaks out anyway

How Did the weekend go Mate? Or you still heaps busy?

holy smokes batman, that powdercoat looks great.

 

120 bucks, was that a mates rates or just a walkin price? I need to get some bits done soon.

It was mates rates at the place where Terry (mungi mods) takes all his wheel centres to be coated.

 

Its not an expensive thing to do really, its easy enough for them, just a quick blast and hang it up and coat it.

 

I had a few things done for work once, it cost about $50, that was just a bout 6 small pieces in flat black. Its not a very expensive thing to do. I guess it works out cheaper to get more things done in the one hit, and the colour will be uniform, also.

 

Oh, thanks for the compliment.

 

:P

good work those wheels look the goods....

$120 bucks for the centres seems a bit expensive even ay... maybe the price of powdercoating in Brisbane is more exxy than in adelaide.

just thinking cos to do an entire trailer from start to finish... degrease, sandblast, dismantle, put in jig, caulk and top coat in a metallic pearl powder we only charge $350 bucks!!.

I reckon you might need to read a few more posts, champ.

 

$120 was for the big pile of pieces I had done on the previous page.

 

My wheel Reco for all 4 ssrs costs $250. That includes powdercoat, new high tensile allen head bolts, polishing, and re-rolling one rim that had had a tiny tap because I'm fussy. Terry does a great job. Better than the wheel restorers who charge a fortune, thats for sure.
