lol I should have stopped by, would have loved to see some f**kin tools doing burnouts copping a yellow sticker and a f**k off fine.

Saw Tone at Cold Rock though :)

Haha yeah that was a bit of a coicindence

I thought that but it was on the nature strip = public property so fair game no?

Even so how can you even defect an unregistered car :/

any of the headlight cleaning kits work the same, some are just more abrasive and take less effort / time

you can also use mcguires plastex or mother plastic polish.

you can even use toothpaste

no matter what you use, just use heaps and spend ages doing it.

lots of pressure is required too

Glassylite..

Hamish I tried the plastx and mguires and yeh it came up good, but only lasted a couple of days, the thing that's good about the glassylite is the 'nano sealer' to stop it from yellowing a lot longer..

The bepore picture is with plastx, and about 20 minutes of constant polishing on each headlight. 2 days and it was yellow again, and worse than before lol

This is Aaron we are talking about, he was getting a sore wrist after the 1500 sandpaper. lol

Pictures still don't do it justice.

Nanosealant for the rip.

FYP

By the way Birds, my daughter wanted to know if you were a little girl, due to your avatar pic. I said yes, the girl you met last night. :)

    • 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 have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • 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.
    • 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.
