today i spent abit more time on the paint work, I peeled back the left rear quarter panel and chris came round the other day and gave me some bog,

so now i have bogged just under the fuel filler flap which is the only bit of rust in my whole car, :blinks: that i have found so far mind you i'm not about to go looking for it :bash:

 

i've painted the rear quarter so it is minty fresh gloss black i wonder how long it will take to turn flat black again :laff: , i also painted the edge of the tail light black too so it blends in with the side of the car :jamie:

 

anyways here are some pics

 

this one is of the bog job i have done it's abit shitty but only to get it passed roady when the time comes

 

and it painted looking minty fresh again :D

 

here is the fresh paint compared to the rear door i painted over 3 months ago

You should give it a couple of layers of clear so the shine hangs around longer....

it looks good when it's wet though haha :blinks: ,

 

yeah i'm trying to go for the flat black look though gav, but yeah once i start on the roof and get the roof pulled back i might throw some clear ontop of the gloss so the roof looks nice and shiney :jamie:

i just use aussie export enamel gloss black cans and while the car sits under the tree in my front yard it just goes flat black hahaha

 

you need a paint gun for that too, i don't have a spray paint gun i only use spray cans

[GJM85]

i only use spray cans

 

that is so gangsta!

[SLW42]

I think i could get a spray can job pretty close to a spray gun job IMO :blinks:

some more progress lads the whole drivers side of the car is black again

 

bloody car i'm winning again slowly

 

I got kinda lazy on it though so it is abit rough when you get close up but i don't care much, I just want it back on the street again

I need some people's opinions on a little thing thats been biting at me for awhile, i need to know weather or not to shave the rear door handle's or just leave them there and make them not do anything?, as the car will only be a 2 seater once it's back on the road, what do you reckon leave them there or shave them and make them only open from the inside of the car????

Depends on how much blue and red attention you want. If you shave them they'll probably just pull you over to check your compliance at which time they'll defect you. If you don't they'll only pull you over when they see you've got no rear seats at which time they'll defect you.

I don't think it will attract much attention untill there right up close to the car, and with the appropriate blue plates i think it should be fine?

agreed. they might make you weld up the back doors iff you take the seats out.

[SLW42]

I guess it will be a call an engineer and see what they say sorta thing haha, i doubt i would need to weld the doors shut to keep it a 2 seater i think that just short of that i'd need to make sure the doors didn't open from the outside and stay locked

Get it registerd as a 2 seater. you will how ever have to get either a sheet of thick ply or something to cover the hole that is behind the back seat that connects too the boot to get it complied. you can shave the doors so long as you get legal poppers with legal tabs bro.

 

I've got to come drop off your spring clamps just been flat out at work bruhs but i will soon.

shud be buying tims keto aswell this weekend :hmm:
