Sparkle Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I wouldnt have guessed green and yellow, but i think that looks good. Also, something inspired by 70s/80s trd cars in reverse would be ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 also 1966 2000gt speed trial car and and basically just this in a blue yellow, green yellow, or mayyyybe red yellow combo AND BIG ADVAN STUFF ON IT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIZZO Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 I doesn't like yellow and green, ain't no blardy Aussie mayte. I like the stripes like the picture on the top of this page, that's what inspired my first concept and it too would be easy to do. The white and green one would require a shit tonne of vinyl / pretty much reprinting the whole car, and haven't found one colour that looks good against the yellow. I'm leaning towards my take on the renner in yellow and white that fliboi posted, will bang it up nice I do a concept Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Who'd have thought yellow would provide so many good options! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIZZO Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 so i think i have nailed this one to one colour scheme that i like (and is easy and cheap), and suits my purpose. just need to decide on which variation of this scheme i use. I have chosen this as i have to repair rust on the bottoms of the doors anyway, so this makes it just a quick spray of white over what needs painting anyway, then a black vinyl strip over the join in the paint. the colour will continue the same line along the hatch at the rear. help me decide between these 6 options- 1- 2- 3- 4- 5- 6- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dell'orto Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 They're terrible for rusting along the drip rails and above the hatch, just about need to unstitch the roof! Pretty sure Geartech used to carry plates for U code LSD's too, I think they had them made up in batches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLIZZO Posted November 23, 2015 Author Share Posted November 23, 2015 righto guys who here knows stuff about painting stuff. Im fine with the how too, just unsure about products. So far i have decided to paint the car white, and in a 2k single stage (no clear coat) paint. I have found this on trademe for $185 for 4 litres, would anyone suggest that it would be wrong for what i want? Cheap is good cos rally car and it will undoubtedly need doing again some time soon in the future. So becuase its 2k im going to go buy a good respitator, i have a couple of really good HVLP guns, i have etch primed the bare metal stuff. Im unsure on what sort of primer to use, do u just use a single pack primer, or a 2k primer? so many different variants of shit. All advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Use a 2k high build primer, it will go straight onto bare metal without a problem. That paint looks ok, but I would try your luck at the local panel beaters as I'm pretty sure I did better than that price, and they will probably get you better paint anyway. Paint is one of those things that can make your life can become a whole bunch better just by spending a few extra dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLIZZO Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Hey guys, windscreens! Who has installed seal type Windscreens using the old piece of string method? Is this as easy as it looks? Should I use some kind of non setting windscreen sealer in there as well? Any help appreciated. Hope to put them in one night this week.

yetchh Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Yes and yes, bostick 5615 .. just put the Zephyr one in by myself, put it in bottom first. I used a block of wood and light tapping with a hammer to seat the seal down on the bottom lip once I'd pulled the string out, and push it down from the inside. It never quite worked as well as the YouTube tutorials but they're were using new seals vs my old ones, I just took my time working the string out bit by bit and making sure the seal was down on the lip.. took about 20-25min once I'd applied the sealant...

BLIZZO Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 What is the english axle stud pattern? Thanks They are 4x108 originally but chris re-drilled mine to 4x114.3, even did a spare if i brake one, which i cant see happening, they look way stronger than the starlet axles.
