As reguards pics, go to www.photobucket.com, register and follow the instructions. Make your the pics you try to upload aren't too big. Then once you done that, copy and paste the "image link" below the picture to the webpage you want. Image link looks something like like this: . looks like typing when your writing a post, but will come up with the picture when you submit your post. Sounds a bit difficult, but follow those instructions and you'll be right, give it a go here if you want to see if it works. Stoked to hear about the progress on the Banzimobile...

Sparkle Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 lookin good bro, happy for you. So the whole car is getting resprayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidstripe Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks guys, looks like it should be finished by the end of the week or early next week hopefully. They quoted me $5500-8500 to paint the other half of the car!! That's two guards, two doors and a bonnet!! Don't know how they figured that out, seeing as the've paneled and painted the roof, guards, doors, boot lid and boot surround, and it was only insured for $5000 (stupedly underpriced, putting it up before it's finished by a couple of G). So the repairs must of cost way less than that, plus all the parts, plus the paneling out the rear guard, I just don't see where they came up with that figure for the rest of it. So I'll take it elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insani-T Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Considering it looks like the paint doesnt look too bad anyways, you could probably get away with a little sanding back and then a top coat or two followed by heaps of clear. And that would cost less the 2k with even the most expensive painter. Edit: Perhaps they added 1 too many zero's to that quote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solidstripe Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 My thoughts exactly! I double and triple checked the price with him and yeah, didn't know what to make of it. Presume that would be back to bare metal etc, but still, for not even half the car.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It'd have to be a baremetal respray for that kinda money, surely. Stoked to see it being fixed though, I guess its age and rarity probably helped with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
