Should I pop the front and rear windows out before paint? How hard are they to get out, and do I need to get a windscreen dude to put them back in? Or can I just pop the rubbers out from around the edge?

Again at 5.16

Looks nice… throw up a vid of it running with the diff dumpers 

Thanks mate. It’ll be sprayed in my garage, the bay was done there and it’s turned out pretty good. At the moment I’m thinking about going with the solid colour, the bay’s done in that and I’m happy with the finish, there’s bugger all peel in it as well.

just used 2k white from my local paint supply shop. Got half a litre, done three coats, and have about half left.

All I’ve gotta get is more white and some clear, the body won’t need any repairs so all I have to really do is scuff it up, mask, and spray. Will need to pick up a…[Read more]

Indeed I will. Meant to be spraying it this Saturday but it’s meant to be pissing down. See how we go.

Picked up a Ryobi orbital sander from Bunnings yesterday. Was planning on getting the bay sanded back ready for paint this Saturday but got tied up with other stuff. Gonna get stuck into it Saturday morning, paint’s goin on Saturday arvo. Got some filler as well, will try and get the cowl mounted if I have enough time. Aiming to get the bonnet at…[Read more]

The standard alternator should be fine. Not running multiple pumps or a big stereo so it should be sweet

The pump will have all new wiring so it’ll be done right

Gonna get the bay prepped for paint this weekend, getting it sprayed the following weekend. What grit sandpaper should I use to get the primer ready to paint over?
