Pretty sure he does MK2 Mexico/RS Guards as well as a complete f/glass MKII Forest Flares Guard, but could be wrong on the last part.. Just ask him a question..

My name is Russell Posted March 17, 2007 Share Posted March 17, 2007 pretty sure the last owner went to my school, if thats the case, its got a very gay rice cannon at the back and was quite rofl being 1300 auto. it was completely mint when he first got it, turned to shit though. then again, i could be mistaken. Yup probably the same car its deffinatly got a big ass rice cannon on the back, had to listen too the bloody thing all the way from Auckland to Welly, its in reasonable condition for 500 buckaroos just the right hand guard, and box that need some attention really, few minor dents. The aim is to give er a full re spray, drop er on some mags, change to manual and it should then be a fun daily driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteretep Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 your car would have enamel paint? are you going to repaint it with enamel or lacquer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My name is Russell Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Its still the standard paint so yeah i guess it would be enamel with clea? Am painting it with 1K in a metalic which i think the paint supplier said was a lacquer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
