got bored today and thought i'd share what $20 will do :)

it won't last but it gives me a good idea on how a paint job will look and hey a couple of rags and some thinners and i'm back to my faded, clapped out "yellow" paint. this is version 1 .. going to get some thiner pinstriping tape for version 2 hehe :twisted:.

and lets you guys see how my aussie muscle car rims suit the staz like bought ones :D .. note: no spacers, 14" 215's

if your referring to the bonnet I like it. Ditch the wheels though they only suit valiants.

lol well heres a better shot and when i finish the bits i'm painting i'll post another pic .. btw redzone.. if i get them struts/shocks from you will they fix that rather large amount of air between my tyres and wheel arch's?? just noticed the back is kinda 4x4-ish LOL

yeah I don't like the wheels either.. they are more at home on a matt-black bogan-mobile crummydore or falcooon.

Find some sweet dished japanese wheels from the 80s era - would suit the car soo much better. Get rid of those ballooney tyres too while you're at it :P

I like the stripe which fades down the length of the car. I know how you feel with the faded yellow - my paintjob is much the same
