Btw, stop wasting your $$$ and get the other beast going!!!, I'm thinking about letting my ke30 sit for a bit and get my 4age gear into a ke70 :)

i seriously need this car for when i get my license back. and i'm doing things on the cheap!! lol and will do things on the cheap.

i've come to realise that my other car is massively long term and as i come to needing parts i will get them then.

 

tackle one thing at a time. for the moment the other car needs fab work. once thats done i will buy the stuff i need for paints.

the sussy then engine then interior.

 

so yeah. everything will get done in good time.

there a pretty hefty dent in drivers side guard? or that just the pictures? looks pretty damn nice, clear over base is a very good system!! we use it for all metallic's but solids generally don't. very rarely that we do, easier to only have to paint a panel once (twice if you have to wet on wet or plastic prime) than two or three times! is your paint water based or solvent based?

 

 

yeah there is a dent. there are quite a few dents. i painted this rather quickly i spent as much time on it as i wanted to.

 

i'm basically cleaning it up jst a bit but i didn't want to spends ages on bodywork. so yeah paint is nice but there are dents. meh. lol

 

paints are all solvent based.

no they arent, we use water base, very rarely we use solvent based. only a few colours that we do as the waterbased version looks terrible when colour matching, one that comes to mind is a goldy brown statesman. other than that all water based.

no sorry meant all MY paints are solvent based.

Looks good for a "shitter" anyways bruz nice work!

ok progress of it put back together.

 

powder coated door hinges look good.

 

 

also i added some bright bronze and copper flake to the clear. stands out in the sun!

 

 

so far the car has

cd player

6"mtx speakers up front

10" woofer in the rear.

fresh paint.

New door seals

New boot seal

Brand new headlights
