I agree that the satisfaction in doing it yourself (even if it doesn't turn out 100%) is way more thrilling than just handing over money and picking your car up a week later.
I've spent the last 3mths (an hour here or there) prepping the entire interior of my car (including boot and engine bay) and ive only primed half of it (took me that long to learn how to use my electric spray gun). I could have handed over $1400 to a local shop and picked my car up a week later but somehow doing it myself (cost me about $300 so far for paint + spray gun + materials) is just much more exciting.
Like 1 of my mechanics says, if it doesn't look right or u make a mistake just rub it back and try it again!
The owners name is Shane and he is not a forum regular.
Edit: Quite a neat car inside and out, unsure what turbo's (think N1's) making just over 300rwkw.
I plan on taking my car to my mechanics but doing as much work as i can on it there whilst he is working on other cars (removing radiatior/fan/belts/etc) any of the easy but boring stuff - for him as im sure with him over my shoulder it won't be hard to do the majority of it. (and save on labour)
What do you actually think that will achieve? The defect won't be removed, the cop won't be sacked, they won't pay your bills and its highly unlikely the cop will even be spoken to by anyone in an authoritive position.
Yup nice work, was that time done when u raced against that gunmetal grey gtr that did a 10.8sec?
Crank your boost up, their is more in that
Edit: The VLT's have got to be the drag car of choice this year, pleeeenty around getting into the 10's
