Title: got bored so...
Post by: John_Hudson on April 05, 2009, 06:52:14 PM
well decided to go ballz deep again and jump into another respray, i wasnt happy with the car\'s general condition so decided to hack off the blended skirts and spats, the sils had been majorly rivited so had to do a fair bit of welding- unfortunately i think i may need a new shell in the near future.
I found some feed replica steps and an amemiya diffuser, got my paint then drove to cornwall and went happy crazy with my bro in-law

here are some of the pics

its funny you know, as soon as we started spraying every f**king fly in the world seemed to be drawn to the car, we just let em settle then nibbed em out later

Excellent work there,just goes to show what can be done in such a short time and with minimal cost.  All we need now is an engine rebuild in same time for same cost !!!!  there just might be a few more rotaries on the road,cant believe how many are being broken at the moment.  Well done John,love the steps as its such a different look.  Whats going on the front?

Team effort mate and as long as theres lots of pics then it does not matter who did the lions share of the work. White is a lovely colour on any Rex and you can do so much to them,plain, outrageous, it does not matter as the colour will carry pretty much anything.
