Also a big thanks goes to Doughboy for being the only guy who waited for me at the end of the night, while I was "preoccupied" :) at that reputable establishment we frequented at the end of the evening.

Scottsman, I do apologise for keeping you out so late, hopefully you didn't get into too much trouble from the boss.

Ray, You're a big girl! (here I thought we were drinking buddies)

Bec, thanks for shouting for some of our late night entertaiment, even if it was of poor quality.

Yep Doughboy and Bris certainly know how to entertain a crowd, but I really wish you could both put a leash on your wallets. But a big thanks thou.

I wanted to wait for ya, but KFC was calling.

But bottom line is I didn't get in trouble...

Ray came out?

Oh yeah he got mav with the hot sauce. Mav being the vetran hot sauce victim should have guessed.

P.S Next DECA will have personal fire extinguishers in the supp regs.

We have had a few close incidents @ DECA in the past and I think it will save someone's car one day and possibly someones life.

So get moving now. SAU will organise a group buy for some before then. Alternativly, K-Mart sell extinguishers for $30 with a metal bracket. It's worth it.

I just went up and bought one.. lol.. I dunno how I passed l2s events.. $19.95 Supercheap Auto

Don't the $20 super cheap ones only come with a plastic bracket?

Which we will actually allow to pass @ DECA, but it wont pass at a CAMS event.

Anyway preferance is that you buy one with a metal bracket.

Now I need to get that cage to bolt it to...

Where else would you recommend bolting it?

I used to have one on my escort just in front of the drivers seat, just out of the way. Crappy old thrasher so I just tec-screwed it down.

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
