Good stuff on finding the last piece of the puzzle, Rich!

It was great when the Beemer was walled, sadly not any more.
Can’t wait to see the Hearse painted too, so much prep work has gone into it so far.

Septone texture coat, then 2-3 light coats of Septone Matte Black, only light coats.
If you go too heavy, it will just ruin the texture effect and give you the normal orange peel effect from paint.

Yes, I do know Adam! Great guy. I worked with him for just over a year at a sheet metal factory until we were both made redundant.

He and…[Read more]

Haha, that’s not my dog unfortunately, that is Jamie’s from Loudz Creations, works out of his shed.
If you noticed from the second last picture, there’s even husky hair on the headlight lens haha.

My girlfriend and I are planning to get a miniature Dachshund sometime during September as a first pet, so that should be fun!
Little dog, little poop,…[Read more]

Long time no update!!
Finally finished the pillars with Callum, decided to go matte black as I’ll be doing the rest of the trims black eventually.

Ooooh, factory finish!

Washed, clayed, polished and waxed my car with what I had in the shed for the first time in the year I’ve owned the car. (I have only went to car washes up until this…[Read more]

Getting old fibreglass insulation down my shirt, did piss me off quite a bit.

Getting accepted for another full time job today after getting my two weeks notice last week.
What also made me smile is the irony- I recently moved up to Elizabeth from Noarlunga in Adelaide, because I was working in Wingfield for the last 19 months and needed to move closer so I did.
Now I’m back working in Lonsdale down south, doing the same…[Read more]

I recommend NOT putting HID’s in stock headlights, they are blinding to other road users.

If you want to do it the right way, get high quality projectors retrofitted into your headlight casings as I have, check out my build log.

Going to be a interesting build.

Tuned in for updates

What part of Adelaide are you in? LOL.
I’ve gotten a heap of footage with my dash cam AJ, mostly people not paying attention and swerving between lanes, red light runners and right hand lane hogs.

Thanks for that Richard, I’ve been following your build for some time now, keep the good work up too

Awesome link Ron, thanks for that!

I’m a full time guillotine and brake press operator at a sheet metal factory, the little guy that gets little to no recognition  :stress:

Hey mate, thanks!
Yes, same Callum- his new business is called AV-DC and now located in Panorama 

Jamie has done some awesome work with Loudz, we originally discussed what we were going to do with my VS headlights, you will need the altezza headlights for the clear lenses, as the stock glass lenses will screw with light…[Read more]

Oh look, it’s just a lex-
HOLY MOTHER OF TITTY F*CKING JEEBUS!

This I was not expecting at all, this is an amazing example of high end engineering, along with more dedication than I will probably ever have with my car!

My hat goes off to you sir! 

And the most recent update as of yesterday:

Erm…

Done front pads and rotors, then a swapped my stock grey series 1 dash pad with a black series 2 calais dash pad, including all of the lower dash bits

Future tutorial will be added when I take it out again, for a certain reason… ;)

Okay, I forgot to add that I bought some eBay Altezza lights with projectors, shown below installed not long after buying the car.

These projectors were f*cking terrible for light output, even with Philips +60 globes in and literally hours of trying to adjust them with the beam not moving.

0/10 do not recommend.

I have a good friend who does…[Read more]

Okay, continuing form where we left off.

These pillars are eventually going to be painted beige to colour match the rest of the interior beige trims.

We were so damn close to leaving them in black texture coat..

But no we didn’t, we ended up painting them white because that’s all the paint store had at the time.

Near finished pic of…[Read more]
