We need a nice sunny day for photos.

Its been fairly nasty blizzard type weather up here lately.

But, yeah its ready to go, i even took it for a spin around the block a few times to warm it up.

Ive been driving the missus Volvo V70 for 6 months, so its real nice to get in it again.

Paint looks awesome!

[GH05T]

reminds me of this.

[Got a Pulsar]

That's Awesome! ^^^

Right, that's it Mik, you have permission to paint the SkyWagon the same colour as your car. (now you've had practice)

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Ooh, thats nice.

Ok, so ive finished polishing fully now, no more touch ups, i cant see cos i never get a chance on a sunny day. So it will have to do for now.

Its washed and ready for the 4 layers of stuff going on.

Lime prime to prep the paint for wax, hard wax, soft wax, sealant.

Its nice and cold out there at night, polish and stuff doesnt dry, so you get ages to work with it. But on the other hand, wax that normally takes 24 hours to cure will take 48.

Ill spray your car no worries, as in just the spray gun and you can do the other 180hrs or so of stuff....

But realistically, youd want to do it to a car with no rego, or do a quickie.

Thats just: pull of some bits, wash, a light sand, tape up, dust, wax&grease remover, prime, solid colour (gloss, no clear), a quick polish, done.

No bodywork and no idea how long it will last, but an easy way to change the colour.

And my compressor needs a service before i use it again.

Anyway, i should be done soon, prime lime tonight, and maybe the first wax too if i can.

Very nice mate, fantastic job. Bet your wrapped with the end result!

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Thanks guys.

Photos look a bit better than it really is, but its still good, im very happy with it.

Mainly the colour, its really just the way i wanted it, and the first time i saw it glowing in the sunset....... wow.

[gtr judd]

Yep, pretty sure I heard your mind Fap.

Looks better in person I reckon.

The colour change depending on available light is mad and it's hard to capture the true colour in a pic but that evening light worked wonders on the pearls within.

[75coupe]

Well done, that looks great...

[Anfanee]

Any updates Mik???

Also you need to get a GTR rear wing. Would set this car off so much!

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Well i spose its time to get into something else like the interior, its pretty shagged.

Some led lights, cheap and easy:

The boot, i just plugged the green and earth into the light socket.

I will use the rest in the cabin with the controller and maybe a bit of a work light under the bonnett.

Wish I'd read this before I went ahead and painted mine.

Would have been very helpful this looks tops! Great work.

Soldered broken joints in the window relay, while i swapped the door trim to one that isnt chopped.

Fixed my other trims, no sign of chopping out for a window net anymore. ( window net was a stupid idea without a rollcage )

Put in a smaller intercooler, the big one was not helping with power, it just blocks air to the radiator.

A piece of corflute to block the last gap.

I got another pair of seats that have tighter rails than mine, but some bits are worse, i will make one good pair from it all.

Fender braces and a new oil temp gauge coming soon.....
