Nice looking project mate I love the green but paint the car whatever colour you like!

Have you considered a satin (semi gloss) paint job? Would still have an awesome rat vibe but stand out from the other matt black rides out there

That green looks similar to my EK, valletta green, i reckon go rat if thats what you really wanna do, either way it will look really kool.
Cheers Joe

i reckon that green in semi gloss would look wicked. but your car do what you want!

looks sweet either way!! good place to start/

aidan...

Semi gloss rules....

nice looking project, hope to see some more photos. the semigloss looks great aswell.

Cheers Fud

since i towed the car home it has been in a neighbors backyard tarped and car covered due to lack of roomat my folks. should be moving in 6 weeks from today then the carnage will begin. id love to just look at it but the deal was it doesnt get touched till i tow it out of there.

The worst thing you can do is put a car under a tarp,especially with the weather weve been having round here lately.

Theres not much else that will help a car rust out quicker,its like putting it in a humid glasshouse.

It would be better left uncovered with the plugs out of the floor for the water to run out ,and at the mercy of the elements.

its my dads tarp for like a truck not a plastic one. theres air flow all around it and theres no glass in it. think it will be sweet. its water tight.

Patience grasshopper good things come to those who wait

See...Matt...it's now only 5 weeks to go!
A low sheen paint scheme would look tough...
It looks like a nice clean unit to do anything with...I'd say add a bit of customizin' to it...but I am Bias!

All tarps $*#@ cars very badly.

i lost sleep over the car being tarped so i checked on it whilst it was raining and the car is bone dry and not showing any signs of humidity or wet under carriage. the tarp is not wet on the inside so the car cover is bone dry. no water is even really getting under the car so im relieved. she'll be sweet. i know a plastic tarp would $*#@ it but this tarp might be better than the garage.

What's it really matter if you're turning it into a rat anyway? It'll just give it more character

the flat black is over .hewey the satin semi gloss is in . now to think of a colour. less than 4 weeks to go till begin this project. also i have no rubbers at all so can anyone recommend where to get them. peter jacksons? spectrum? rare spares. i need every one of them. thi$ is going to hurt .also the manual trans is over the traumatic will be fitted.

If you want your doors to close, then Rare Parts is the go for your door rubbers. I spoke to them last week, and apparently an old fella comes in about once a week to hand make them to order
