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...

That's not the silver one pictured behind the black widey in your signature by any chance...?

Nice job, and not the silver one behind the black widey, that is a late model 5 stud rusted out Starion... another one of his :P

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)
