You dont need to cover with plastic i think thats to stop the other types from drying out superfast...

I have tried other brands like Sparko etc and they are so toxic.I dont have the luxury of a workshop so i need to think about my family and the fumes going into the house.I dont get acid burns either so is much easier to handle.

Thought i would share a tip for those who are still undergoing body prep.I have tried the 'CITRUSTRIP' paint stripper.I was dubious because if has no toxic fumes and stays on the car for 24 hours without going hard.Well it does work ok.It is more expensive than conventional strippers but seems to get better coverage.I like the funky orange colour too I leave it on for about an hour then use the scraper.One application would be enough to remove one paint layer but my baby has been sprayed over before so i needed 2 applications in some areas.Then i use the plastic abrasive wheels to burnish anything thats left.It doesnt smell bad at all......I bought it from Bunnings for about $18 per 500ml but would buy the bulk pack next time..

I like the utes and i agree it is the ozzy thing to have a ute.They are such a multipurpose machine.Ok you dont get a dirt bike in the back but a small ute that looks good will always have a following.I own a sedan because i have a family. I actually prefer the sedan shape over the coupe in the 1200 series but thats my own personal choice,i am sure a lot of people love the coupe.I think any version is good because they are so easy to work on.SAF was lucky they had the utes for so long because they would have still sold well here i think even though they were old designs.

I sent her a message asking about rust and why she was selling it and it was bought as a parts donor that wasnt used apparently.I checked up with my mate who actually has the original Dulux colour chips and we figure it could be the original deep red colour.It matches the year.My mate is considering buying it,making it laser straight with a schmick paint job then selling it ot someone who wants to transplant a big engine etc...
