Hey all,
Just thought Id put sum pics of the progress I made on one of my starions.
I painted the engine bay today, only 4 months after I pulled the motor out to start work on the engine bay hehe, well thats what you get when you have more than one starion, 4 at the moment.
The pics dont show the colour very well but you'll get the idea.

You guys in NZ are legends, all-out restorations seem almost common over your way.
Then again you've also got some really good cars with minimal kms for not a lot of dough as well...

Well we try our best dude.
I guess cars are cheaper over here, so we can spend more money on doing them up.
You can buy a real tidy starion for $4000 (for an early one)to $8000 (for a late one)
