Title: Vert question
Post by: elford_tim on April 20, 2007, 12:19:02 PM
OK, this may sound strange...

Does anybody have a picture of the side of a vert that shows how high the stonechip paint goes on on the side?

Mine\'s had new stonechip applied during the last bodyshop episode and that went on too high so I was wondering if anybody either had a picture that shows how high the original application goes or can mark it on a pic that I can pass on to bodyshop no 2?

Yep, it\'s useful although it looks like you\'ve also got stonechip paint on the bottom of the door (which mine didn\'t have).

Doh. I just realised that I took a few photos of the car when I got it - the higher-res originals should still show how high the stonechip went...

That would match my recollection of my car as well.

don\'t know if you still need the info but the stone chip paint measures 3&3/4inch\'s at the front of the door measured from the bottom of the door up and 3& 1/2 inch\'s and the back of the door. hope this helps, sorry it was a bit slow have been a bit side tracked with my new project [5.3L V12:Hammer ] if you need any more info or pic\'s just shout.

Prof got the answer to the question you asked a long time back Coupe kerb weight 1360kg and Vert. 1420kg.

Hi Grant,
thanks for the help. Grinder\'s fairly close to the bodyshop and he\'s kindly agreed to let them have a look at his convertible if the needs arise but it\'s good to get some measurements!

Cheers,
Timo
