She's coming along quite nicely mate.

 

Do you think that it is possible to have a set of driving lights customised to fit the apron?? I'd be looking at getting a set made up for the 30 and or 55.

hmm possibly i wouldn't be overly keen, would depend on design and as for the new paint, it looks very shit I'm going to get a compressor and some cheap acrylic sometime and re-do it because i hate the way it looks! needs to be rubbed back and done propley.

[flat out]

want a hand doing it john?

[HEKTIC]

you can help me buy lending me your compressor and gun and dual action sander and getting me ubber cheap paint lol =D

an update(kinda):

 

well after a discussion i had with my mother the other night when she asked why i wasn't working on my car anymore i told her that i didn't know whether to paint it satin black slam it and use it for motokhana's or whether to paint it make it roadworthy, get some rego then sell it, she told me that i should fix it and sell it and i agree with her in a way because i don't really want to waste thousands on THIS car. so hopefully in the coming months she will be rubbed back to bare metal resprayed, purchase and install new water pump, new bearings pressed onto diff, and front brake hose then rego.

 

so last weekend i slapped some bog on it and fixed some little dents (still not done i need an easer board to sand it propley) and i had my dads mate weld in my non-rusted spare tyre well. picture time:

[flat out]

nice job on the welds, i didn't know you could weld like that, heck i didn't even know you could weld!

[Taz_Rx]

he can't weld......and you can't read!! :jamie: :y:

[HEKTIC]

i can weld, just not 1mm metal to 1mm metal lol, rhs is fine lol and yeah casey maybe its time for new glasses :S

[cuzzo]

BTW if you decided to go the xt130 struts with the pug/lux brakes 14" will fit. :y:

[Reg77]

Looks good so far man, good luck! :y:

Hey,

Well its been ages since i updated this, i haven't really done anything to her lately, i bought some paint, primer etc etc while i was in Melbourne, and I've sanded a bit of bog this weekend, so I'll let the pictures and further captions do the talking!

 

back view, note the "PSI-035" that casey kindly drew for me =P

 

a side view of a biggish dent that ive filled and been sanding, it began to rain, so i primed it and left it, still a little way to go on that one

couple of smaller dents that were in the door, filled, sanded, and primed to keep the water out for now (black markings show other dents)

what needs to be removed from the garage so i can put my car in and spray it! Do people think its big enough? (note the mgb has a nice 2 pak paint job from a far, but has stacks of orange peel when you look closely, and we are only baby sitting it for a family friend, and the other POS is dads latest VOLOV)

and finally my paint "AB - Fireball" its ment to be the standard colour, and looks like it will be about right!
