Very nice indeed Al. The rims look awesome with that shade of red as well.

[NickR33]

You must be damn excited to have it back looking soooo good... with all the dodgy stories I hear about panel beaters, it actually looks like you found someone to do an A1 job

can't wait to check it out in the flesh... and pick on any imperfections I can find because I am terribly jealous and insecure...

[archie01]

Looks very schmick Al

Well worth the time and effort

[xRHETTx]

It looks great - better go and put an ugly car bra on it now...

[RBN1]

yeh I keep telling him to hit another one but he just doesn't listen!

Go the prostitute red 33!

Geez mate - that almost makes it worthwhile hitting that wall!

Looks tops!

[(B1) MR_fanny]

i remember the first time i saw you and your car at the group tint.....boy has it changed. never was a big fan of red but you have converted me:D:D

[Al]

Thanks ALL!

I am soooo glad/happy to get such good feed-back from everyone, makes the wait that much more worth while. Having said that i truely do NOT want to go through it again.

From day one i had a look that i wanted to create on the car, and done/bought various things, while the car was being painted. It all has come together nicely and i couldn't be happier.

Best news was when i went to get the allignment done, once i got the car back from my mechanic. Centre Line measured it all up (camber/caster/toe) and confirmed that the settings were just as they set them, 3 months b4 the accident, and they didn't even charge me for the half hour

Engine bay has coped a little work too , but i will wait till all parts are installed b4 posting any pics. Nothing too major/obvious.

Front bar is already chiped due to the drive to Shepparton, but there is plenty more chips to come . Did consider a car-bra but am not convienced that the bra itself would not mark the paint from all the rubbing and vibrations. I have spare paint so i prefer to respray the front bar when the time comes.

Anthony, i am "on-call" all weekend and next week, so i will give ya another call at a later date.

My god that looks hot! Well done The overall look is bordering on perfection

Wheres the 'Skyline' light? Are you gonna put it on?

[Al]

YAY

Congrats Al - the car does look awesome.

I had the privelage of seeing this car on a certain skidpan in Shepparton recently - the sun does look awesome on the paint.

PS. And remember, I did prove ya wrong by being able to drive it.

You also proved you could drive my car much better than Malcolm can :uh-huh:

Was really surprised, even in my intoxicated state of mind .

[Al]

oh thats an awesome paint job i love it... what size are them rims too? very nice

Rims are 19", just the right size to fill up the arches

They are the same rims i had on previously, just powder-coated in Steel pearl.

yeh I keep telling him to hit another one but he just doesn't listen!

Go the prostitute red 33!

:Pimp: Unlike other hoes, my girl will not work the corners of St. Kilda or Chappel Str. :wassup:

My god that looks hot! Well done The overall look is bordering on perfection

Wheres the 'Skyline' light? Are you gonna put it on?

The 'SKYLINE' rear facia is sitting in my bedroom, all painted with lettering all etched out. The LEDs are in the shed, mounted on a PCB board and working. All i need to do is mount the board to the rear of the facia and seal the whole thing, but i have been lazy .

It will be done, soon , and will be nice and bright with 16 red hi-intensity LEDs

[INASNT]

Hmm that rear wing looks familiar

[Let Me Drive]

congrads mate it looks awsome

[ABuSD]

AL Thats things GORGEOUS!!! Where did she get sprayed up? Im looking for a place for my car also.

Did they have to door the door jams and stuff? Or the colour wasnt different enough to bother?

Al can i also grab the offset an width of your rims please.

Trying to do a bit of research meself.

Cheers

[Al]

The car was sprayed in North Coburg, on Bakers Rd. Not 100% but i think the name of the shop is John(maybe: Ron) Mace Pannels; i am bad at remembering names . Door jams done, windscreens/windows removed, etc. Boot and engine bay was left the factory red-oxide colour. The colour is very different to std, especially in the sun.

Wheels are Lenso Muse, 19x8 all round, don't know the offset.
