small update .
Mephious has some doors for the coupe quarters :D Im stoked ,They will be here in a little under a month .
But in the meantime I bought the paint for the Van on Saturday ,and when I opened the tin it was like colorbond herratage green when it was meant to be alot lighter.
I returned it today and after a small talk the problem was in the conversion to 2 pac so I had to wear it .
I then figured Id have to spray my trailer or something with green .... and went through all the color chips to get a close color to the green I am after (Matched to the green waste bin lid :D )

Then a real helpfull bloke said Why dont we mix this green into that :roll: and the outcome was bloody brilliant ...

It will now be going from this green .

To this green

And Im rather excited :P

I just realised while going through my photobucket , Check out the color Im spraying ,and the color of the mask - whod have thought I was thinking about it before I was thinking about it hehe...

This pic of my old wagon is also in the photobucket account and its exactly how the coupe will sit , 2 inch dropped stub axels and 2 inch dropped coils BUT the coupe has the guards raised an inch .
