Today my car had its first real bath (LOL yes its taken this long) Its come up quite well. The decision has been made to borrow Daz's electric sander and sand back both front headlights, the nose panel and the RHS front guard. Then purchase some aerosol paint thats at least matched to the car. You can get ti from K-mart its about 10 or 12 a can. I will most likely need at least 2 cans. This way the car will start to look ALOT better than when i first brought it.
I have finally put the rubbers on the back of the lowe beam part of the pop-up lights so now one side wont fill with water and blow anymore............. thats a good thing i am sick of driving with only one light for low beam.
I also vaccumned it all out and made it nice and clean. Oh yeah and extended the wire for the horn so now i have a horn back in working order............"Road rage here i come on yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Next week we are off to Rosebud for most of the weekend so it will be a few weeks before work commences on the stereo again. But i have many ideas but i cbf typing them up. I will however take MANY pics and post them up as i complete each section.
Melissa's front end on her car is also repaired its took a bit of work maybe 3 hours worth to remove all the bits on the front end. that was done previous to today though. Mel and i went to Jolly Rogers and grabbed all the new parts. It took all day to repair it and straighten it out. Its all fixed now and is pretty good. We painted it with the closest match of blue paint from super cheap we could fine (sky blue in export brand) Its slightly lighter but the match is better than on my car. She is happy with it anyway. The only bit thats slightly dodgy is the fact the bonnet has to be forced open with the chisel i gave her to keep in the glovebox and then it has to be banged shut. But thats cool it stays shut and everything is sweet there.
Thats all folks, shall keep people informed on the stereo and riced up interior mods.
Nic
