Why my Staz is taking so long to get done....

Post by Alspos »

This is another excuse as to why my car still languishes on my front lawn, half painted and unregistered.

We have just moved house, so before selling up I had to finish the renovations on the house.

Old house.

Got the new place but it was not in fantastic nick so.....

So of course now the job is to paint everywhere that has been modified. And build myself a new man cave so I can hide when I'm not painting.

So this, albeit poor excuse, is why my Staz still isn't on the road.

Great job. The before and after photos are so rewarding.

So now that the reno is done the Staz should be finished in a week or so... :D

I hope you sold the old house, to move somewhere less expensive and add towards the retirement fund, because paying stamp duty, land tax, rates etc etc is not cool. :x

I call BS, I happen to know Al's been off playing golf with his mates :P

jk - looks really good buddy. Knowing what went on behind the scenes with the move and things, its all come up looking sensational.






You're still a slacker though LOL

Yeah yeah, beers and bourbon won't drink themselves on a golf weekend.

Kit - plenty of bunks.....:)
Ixnay - I doubt it very much. But she can't complain when I finally turn the carport into a paint booth.
Wantsom - Yeah..but now I have to make up for it. I'll be on my hands and knees the next few nights painting skirtings before tiles get laid. Lucky me.

Hey, I almost didn't recognise your old place, that came up really well!

You had a few bottles of inspiration by the looks in your kitchen!

So which 'burb have you inflicted with your Starion "disease"?
Reduce fuel costs by 15-20% & cut emissions by 1/3rd...
Increase engine performance & prolong engine life...
How?

Amazing how removing old staz parts and cars will improve the look of a place.
The bottles were found under the floor in the laundry :shock:
I moved about 5 minutes away from where we were.
