Best car painter in chch.... how many painters have you used then to compare to?
Also how much discount you get to post this up?
-
Busy as shit at the moment, but what area for pick up? (if still looking anyway)
-
Genius
what thickness is the exhaust tubing?
-
farkin horrible....
Looks like one of those cars you see driving around that has a home made body kit made out of papermache, but a professional one...

That guy asking you all those questions talks suspiciously like a Nigerian scammer...

Ask for Chris anyway man, he's sorted me out with a good deal in the past, gc.

More sweet rust repairs there. I'm taking a lot of mental notes as you seem to know what you're doing! Keep the progress photos coming

Pop into a local garage, buy some beers you'll drink if they say no..... and just walking upto one of the guys and say you got a box of beers if they can fit and balance 4 tyres. Worth a shot, even if you get shot down you can go have a beer

Approx cost will depend on how good you want the finish and how much work is required to get it to that finish.
-
That's just proof some WOF inspectors have no idea what they are spouting on about. Though maybe I should find out which place that is....

Can't just goo it up?

Pin and compressed air into the washers, unless the whole system doesn't work then no point it being there. Been failed on that before, its there so it has to work. The fact you have got through before is more good luck rather than a change in the rules.
As for the exhaust, they are getting tighter and tighter on that. Only because people are dicks and run around with super loud exhausts. Partners car used to never get a mention, now each time they moan more and more about it. Just the way things are going sadly. Thank people that think putting fart cannons on their cars and driving around like idiots for that.
I stopped going to a WOF place as they failed partners car on a small part of a sticker being just outside of the 100mm outside edge of the window. (bottom corner rear screen, so hardly an issue). Was almost on first name basis with them too due to taking so many cars there a year. Told em not to send me any more reminders as they just lost a customer over a sticker. It had been there for years
Yes its a fail, but we are talking 10mm over the 100mm zone...

Auto all the way, makes it easier to learn at least. Trying to learn to tig with a flip down and less than 3 arms is just fail
Also, if you're on a budget:

^^ In all fairness, the plate doesn't say adjustable. Just because a car has a cert plate doesn't mean any mods to it are as per the original cert. I'd be trying to track down the info behind the cert, do they record photos of things or drawings at all? That should clear it up. Otherwise new WOF place

^^ Nice man!! Looks tidy as
Having a play at local bmx track, still need moar red bull /balls

Voltage reg? not sure if internal or external on ya car mind you

Already got 2 XUI grinders for rust duty, it comes down to this though \/
I CBF chopping it upJust thought someone might have a trailer and want the $$ it will be going either way
EDIT: booked a pickup now, so no longer available.
-
Nah still driving that, this one was just a parts car to fund the corona. Though perhaps I shouldn't tell you that for tax purposes....
-
Looks like you've had a bit of experience with repairing rust, those repairs are mint. Will be watching this project for sure.
Can I ask what metal you're using and where you got it from? Got a lot of patchwork to do on one of my projects, so need to source some new metal for it. cheers
-
Nah someone got that for their GT5 cockpit, cheers
-
Got an ae111 shell in hornby that I want rid of, its stripped down and can come with door shells / bonnet or 2.
If I had a trailer available to move it, i'd take it down myself for the $$$ ~$140/ton. But I don't, and I CBF chopping it up to fit on the tiny trailer I can borrow. Anyway, story is, contacted a company to get rid of it, haven't heard back. So if someone takes it away before I hear back from them its money in your pocket. Just getting in my way. If the company gets back to me i'll just remove the thread. cheers
Can help load it / might be a mish, hit me up if ken
-
I would be surprised if it fits up without modifications.
