$1200 - YOU BASTARD !! :D :D that is the cheapest job i have seen, even for "mates" rates. And that job looks very pro as well -you just gotta get a bodykit and some wheels now for it and you'll have a very nice line

Can he do any good deals for SAU members? There is a few things I'd need done on mine...

No, wouldn't be expecting so. But even a reasonable discount to any panel shop is going to be a good deal, as long as its a good job.

I will need my front bumper resprayed soon.... although pearl full body would be nice... :D Anyway, let him know, and if he's ok with doing anything else, i'll PM you what i need doing at the moment and he can give me a bit of a price.

predator: no worries, let me know.

meggala: yeah you could call it a practice job, but hes in his last semester and has been working in the field for a few years.

The pics dont really do the job much justice.. it looks much better in real life :D

coco: I'll find out

hippy: I think it can be put on any colour with the clear coat, how good it'll look is another story. I saw a white gemini with the same blue pearl and it looked kinda... well.. feminine.

The pearl is a sky blue so when mixed with black becomes midnight blue. Its pretty mad, some angles its jet black, when the sun hits it, its mnidnight blue :)

Does this means you don't have to strip the base paint before applying the new coat? Just put the pearl coat on top?

My bonnet has a few fades already as well as a deep scratch on the boot n few other blemishes... trying to justify a full respray of pearly wine red... I guess not even the best french wine could beat that luscious colour :)

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
