Update:

Newsflash its become DECOOP mk II ?!?!?!

 

Too many bingles = need for new shell.

 

Picked this car up on Thursday night with a blown 3k (hole in side of block ;) ) Got it home all safe n sound.

 

As the 20 still has rego theres no time wasting for Chris :y: Friday night out the motor came.

Update your thread Chris!

U got all the photos....post them up!

 

The car is currently in high fill, needs a rub down then it is ready for paint!

Ok since Chris can't update his OWN thread i'll do it :)

 

Over the past 2 weeks we have progressed this far:

Stripped right down.

 

Welded and plated up all the little rust holes.

 

Etch primed.

Sprayed the body in high fill

 

Painted engine bay and boot

 

What every driveway should look like> at least 4 corollas (none of which any of Chris's run except my 71) :)

Primed and high filled panels/guards.

 

And Chris has owned this car for just over 3 weeks so he's progressing ok so far i guess... dammit wake up earlier!! hurry up and give me car back you pun!

top stuff

 

no messin about, i like it.

 

cheers, scott

After i sprayed the car in high fill i sanded it back and filled any low spots.

 

Then i sprayed the colour:

 

 

First i sprayed the panels:

 

 

This is what they came up like after 3 coats of colour and 7 coats of clear:

 

 

 

Then it was time to spray the body:

 

 

This is how it came up with no clear on it yet:

 

 

And with the clear:

 

 

After this i let the car sit for a while and decided that i wasn't really happy with how the clear came up....got too much overspray in the paint, so i rubbed the clear coat smooth and applied another 5 coats of clear and it came up heaps better.

 

More pics to come!!
