Don't do the Mexican thing

Sell your body or something and go the old vinyl or maybe some snapping handbag fabric.

Regards Greg

it's only so there's not too many colours in there from memory the blueish rear seat i have is good no real need to cover it up but the door trims will prolly be a different colour and te front seats another colour but that's a little while off yet so i'll see what i can scam

everybody is always telling me to sell my body PLEASE PLEASE point me in the direction of a buyer everything has a price i'm not scared

A guy I worked with did that , Put up an ad in the sydney paper something along the lines of "Male for girls"
And 90% of the calls were blokes who wanted to watch their missus ,or blokes hoping to convert him Its a wild world out there Mick ya just have to want it bad enough ha!

the temptation is great got offered an '83 scottsdale C10 chev pickup and $1000 for the EK as it sits tonight only real prob pickup is LHD and can't get LHD rego for another 2 years but might be able to drive it on permits
a scottsdale is like the statesman of pickups air, steer, cruise, elec windows, central locking etc etc

it's prolly more just a money thing i'm sick of haveing no money was nearly gunna stick the EK on the bay for $4,500 but didn't want to deal with knuckle heads the truck should sell for around $5,000 quite easily + the $1,000 so 6 i'de be quite happy, but a modded car like this would never be done by me again i'm over it so i think it'll stay

You said the same thing after the last one you built

boredom trying to learn my lesson still got the austin and a ute just in case i haven't learnt

I find that finishing what you started a very satisfying thing to do....I could NEVER sell off a 1/2 finished project ... I'd be left with that 'I wonder what it'd would have really been like' feeling.
I know that you have other projects on the 'simmer', Mick...but I'd love to see this one in the finished state.

Scotty.

yeh i'm just being a sook can't remember selling an unfinished project but then my cars are never really finished but if it's registered and driveable i consider that finished to a point just work on one at a time otherwise end up with a shed full of unfinished wrecks
pissed off to wateing for flake missing good weather to paint i know what will happen the flake will turn up and the weather will turn to shit again

Screw the paint, where's the hot grey motor that's been talked about?
Seriously, a hot nostalgia red motor is a period match with metal flake paint...that and some chromies to set it off...
I've heard you can get iso-free 2K paint now...
