little bit of painting in the cargo area im only covering the side panels and wheel archs
with grey vinyl and having the wooden floor piece and the nice red painted sides near the wood
pics

Oohhhhh looking sweet Love that color
I got the parcel in the mail today mate, thanks for that.

Thanks mate

they should clean up all right let me know if you need any thing else
ive got a few parts here

I love those wheels & trims

If you ever want to move them on....

Great post Jay, nice work.

The paint looks like glass, did you use 1200 wet and dry on the undercoat?

I like acrylic it's very easy to work with and touch up, a lot better than 2 pack.

My brother Kevin lives at Sawtell and worked at Family bowl.

He's the mechanic in the Muscle car masters he works on the old Forbes and Bartlett A9X car number 10 for it's owner Shaun

Thanks James i use 2000 on the undercoat but thats probably over kill
mainly so i can get a nice shine on the undercoat to see if there are any dents

a pm and we can catch up

Jay

maybe you could twist my arm

Hi
pulled the diff out and cleaned and painted it and the other attached piece's also new brake shoes fitted
+ diff spring pads ive been cleaning under the wagon because its been too wet and humid to do any body panel work

Nice work Jay. Yep this lousy weather certainly doesn't help in the painting department...

Yep i hear ya when it stops raining its to steamy to do any painting
even though its hot enough
on the plus side the water + surf has been warm and decent

bit more progress floor is done
