well a bit of shit luck, drove the car to uni for the first time since owning it, and it seems I may have splashed through a puddle of paint on the road... :cry:

the damage isn't bad at all, I've taken pics, and coincidentally the paint is blue aswell so it's not dead obvious...

I've also gotten 4 quotes from 2 smash repairs and 2 detailers, the smash repairs actually got most of it off whilst demonstrating to me what method they'd use 2 remove it so I'm 100% certain it can be removed, but they quoted me between 250 and $400 I guess it just comes down to howmuch they charge for labour as theres no equipment really neeeded except for a rag and some chemicals... the detailers said it can easily be removed but will just require some extra time, the car is in need of a good detail anyway so might get that all done at once...

took some pics if people want to see it for any reason I'll post them up. otherwise.. bump 2 the top.

car getting a full detail whilst having the splashed paint removed on monday costing me $400

also having gearbox + diff oil freshened up, theres nothing wrong with it, just checked the dipstick and it was halfway between L - H so I thought why not.. costing me oils + labour $300 roughly.

received fresh gearbox oil this morning, have to go back tommorrow to do the diff oil, redline shockproof lightweight in the box, heavyweight in the diff, got a guy from brisbane coming to look at the car this week. has already given me a very good cash offer if he is satisfied with his inspection it will be going interstate to a new home :)

sold on SAU pending payment, will be going to an interstate buyer by next week. :action-smiley-069:

will request to close the thread when received payment just incase it falls through. thanks guys for all the interest.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
