I'll put up some pics of the new 32 soon Marko.

Nah no build thread at the moment, might do one later.

Stefan 3M blue masking tape will be your best friend during assembly.

Its low tac so it won't damage the paint. But its thick so it will protect the fresh paint pretty well.

Cheers. Yeah, still rolling on Meisters. Was going to sell them to get something different at the start of the year, but decided to stick with them.

You importing a 32 as well?

On topic, some more pics from the downshift meet

Cheers for the kind words.

Got a few cosmetic improvements still to make (the front bar being the most glaring off them), but am pretty happy with the overall look of the car. Just need to tidy it up a bit.

Will have some more decent photos coming up later in the month

No dramas mate. The front bar could do with a respray, but the car still looks the goods. It'll look even better once it's finished. Am I wrong or was it for sale recently?

What's done to it?

Haha u have an eye for detail. I'm actually surprised that the rta allowed for this plate to be registered

Exactly the same thing I said to the owner, he's been pulled over heaps of times too and no one has said anything about em.

But when you see the stance of the car it all makes sense.

18x11.5" miesters on the rear, 10s on the front and slammed hard.

Hasn't been for sale in the last few years. Wheels were for sale at the start of the year but decided to keep them for the time being.

Mods are 25 engine, high mount turbo, suspension, brakes, computer, stripped interior etc.

Thanks guys, still got a few things up my sleeve to get it just the way i want it. I currently miss driving it badly at the moment :(

And sorry to all that have been restarting because of the pointer :P didnt think it would get so many people hahahha

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
