dangerous_daveo Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 im not sure if my laurel did have guages in it but it was gutted when it got here. Holes where guages were, turbo timer and maybe what was an ebc holes were left in the dash. Little annoyed but i'll fix it. Dangerousdave you were in town the other night hey? (saturday). I pulled up next to you in the primed onevia. Yeah man, that was me. Took me awhile to realise it was you. I eventually went to my mate, hey thats that Mase fella!

someonestolecc Posted September 14, 2004 Author Share Posted September 14, 2004 Well it would seem this car was once green. Do'h - was hoping I wouldn't have to spring for a spray job.

someonestolecc Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Nah this breaks my spirits. I'm kinda 50/50 on the whole thing and god its a damn good lookin car but yea I don't know if my budget allows for a re-spray and I'm thinkin I can get a car that don't need a respray for the same money... but it just won't be a ceffy.. and if it is won't be rb25. Shieeeeeet!

lwells Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I'm confused. What exactly is the problem? Was the car that lime-green all over, and then resprayed? Can you see the green underneath? Could it be that just the fuel filling area is green? LW.

someonestolecc Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Thanks guys that makes me feel better. There are actually a couple of places the green shows through however, it's only a little bit but yeah enough for me to want a respray. I guess I'm fussy like that. And I would *IMAGINE* (I'm only guessing) the car was the stock colour, then lime green, then they sprayed it white. I would have preferred they left it green hehe. [edit: Iwells - the side skirts and near the door seals etc have some white flaking off the same green is underneath, not much but enough to tell the whole car was green before the white] Anyways in my mind the little places that it comes through annoy me enough to get it sprayed which means I can't get the rims I wanted. So I'm still thinking about it.. As for the front bar if I decide to go ahead with the buy munkey is welcome to have the bar to make copies from it, or if he wants to repair the small cracks in it he is welcome to have it for a case of beer or something. Otherwise if I don't go ahead with the buy - he can barter with Steve. (I was going to buy a front bar from him to replace this one for the respray). Cheers guys... but yea I'm still bummed .. I have less than 24hrs to decide to get it or no as I don't want to mess Steve around as I'm sure it's a great car and many a more less-aesthetically fussy people will be able to snap up what is otherwise a great car. Unfortunately I'm too ugly not to have a perfect (or near perfect) paint job.... TO GET THE CHICKS BRO!

lwells Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Well, it sounds like it would only need a few areas touched up, not a back-to-metal, complete car respray, so it could be reasonably affordable. Maybe get the front bar repaired, then get the bar and the spots the paint is flaking touched up at the same time? Unfortunately this is the chance you take with dori'ed cars LW.

someonestolecc Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 LOL scrape it green. Like I said. If you were as ugly as I was you'd need a good paint job to attract the CHICKS BRO. Uhm.. cough.. Yeah I'm torn so I'm going to have a think about it - and I can't thank Steve enough he's been a champ - especially that he knows I'm the type of guy who would spray the car. Scratch it drifting, then pay to have the scratch fixed. If I destroyed the front bumper, I would get another one put on with the same paint at cost... why? ... FOR THE CHICKS BRO!@ ... cough.. anyway... Watch this space - damnit ceffies are the shizo!
