How much did it cost to get the bumper re-straightened and chromed? im looking into getting mine done. Cheers

[Damo]

I've just been quoted $400 for stripping and re-chroming a pair for a Mitsi GTO, sound a lot? Maybe that's what you have to pay these days?

Cheers,

Cool. Home paint jobs can work out well.
It looks much tidier.

Looks mean mate!

[Fliboi]

cost 1500 for the damage to be repaired, not sure how much of that was for the bumper, but 400 for a pair sounds pretty damn good to be honest,

and yeah home job is no different to a pro job if you find someone who knows whey they are doing

Looks awesome man! Love the mesh on the headlights. Can I see some camber? Maybe not.

[Nosco]

shit i remember this from years ago when robbie had it

[Fliboi]

yep theres quite alot of camber in the front now, spaced out(inwards) the top wishbones about 15mm




Not sure what kinda condition it was in when your mate had it (is he on here, username?) but from what ive heard, it was in good condition, then someone ditched the original engine and planned a rotor for it, then they guy i got it off put the more original 18r engine in and fixed it up a bit, but didn't do a very good job, and now ive put in quite a bit of effort to bring it up to standard.

Not sure about the driving lights though. I think they look a bit modern and take away from the nice chrome bumpers. If it were mine, I would keep the front as un-cluttered as possible. Just because it looks so mint by itself it would be difficult to add to it.

[Fliboi]

yup, thats an old pic, still on the 17's actually, no more driving lights, though i do have a front lip, and an oil cooler to subtley mount

[sweedazz101]

Very nice man. Mean seats, how much did you pick them up for?

[Fliboi]

$200 for the front seats, rear seats and door cards.
deal of the century

[Valiant]

Saw you today on the motorway.
Good it's got a wof now.
Get rid of those nasty rear tyres or at least clean the overspray off, Please.
Your car looked good though.

[Fliboi]

yeah new tires will happen when i get the cash together, and i really need to find a way to clean it off, i tried thinners but it didnt work.. any other methods?

edit: it was also only out of a wof for a few days, didn't really expect it to fail, just felt like posting like the cool kids

[Valiant]

Have you talked to CUL8R? He's the man for tyre hook ups.
Sand it off? or reverse the tyre on the rim?

[Fliboi]

i actually ran into him the other day, but he'll be my first stop when i find money in my account, didn't think of sand paper actually, a light sand should do the trick

[Mr.Mk1]

Did you do the tints in place or windows out? You will get better at it, im no pro but can lay a nice tint down. Just dont try doing a sierra wagon, fuck that sucked. Looking back i should have punched him for having an LPG sierra wagon. Aaaah high-school.

[Fliboi]

had all the glass out, tints are fairly nice now and nothing at all to complain about for a total of 5 bucks and a few hours. painted a couple of the frame parts while they were out too.

nicely tie in with the whole blue and black theme im running with

[johnnyfive]

This thing is sweet. A+ etc.
