zep Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 I like to call it Salmon Pink, this annoys him greatly. Don't you all love that yokel in the trout waders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Cheers, the colour is "Rustic Orange" or..... orange filler primer to be correct. Were in rather a hurry to get the engine in (had to be done by end of uni-holidays) so ripping every thing out and spraying the bay wasnt really an option. BTW, it is an absloute bastard to keep clean, in order to remove grease stains u must sand and re-spray Def' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, well i dont actully plan on keeping it salmon, getting it painted is priority. The primer was just to cover the spots where the paint had all flaked of. Eg a whole door and rear panel, Decided just to give it a quick sand all over and spray the whole thing, rather then have a horid mix of the gross green colour with primer doors and pannels.

Defcon Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 A gloss BLACK. Ever since i was young ive wanted a shiny black car. There was this movie, Had 5 or so black porsches chasing this other car (it mite have been herbie not sure) and they looked killer in black. So yeah i like the idea of a Glossy black Coupe. Proberly a lacquer for simplicity's sake. Unsure of whether or not to paint the grill and tail(presently sliver) and what colour. Of course ive gota get her on the road and all legal before i can begin to think about paint. Def' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go with black also for the tail, and black for the grille except for around the headlights. I did that to the Celeste, looks sooooo much better, and Gems and Celestes have similarish grilles/headlight set-ups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly just problem solving,(lots of problems). New brake master, new front sway bar,re-did the whole interior. Got zeps old lsd and disk brake diff going in, in the next uni holis.

Defcon Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 looking forward to see the finished result... Found a place to get it painted yet?what colour are you planning on painting by the way? Planing on painting her gloss black, not sure where just yet. Guna pop by PK pannel and exculsive pannel and a few other local places as soon as exams are over. I got the pertronix kit from http://www.philspeed.co.nz was bout 250 bucks from memmory, maybe a little more it was a while ago. The guy was a legend and real helpful. Though I think you can probably get it off the pertronix online store a little cheaper. It was piss-simple to put in. Took all of ten minutes, bolt in pretty much. Would highly reccomend getting one dude, made a world of difference over dirty points! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
