I then went about glueing the flares on and starting to shape them into the bodywork

It was at about this stage that Datogal's Barina motor blew up...

...so I stopped work again to buy and build "p-bo" into a daily driver for her.

"p-bo" being the poo brown 1200 coupe as seen in her project build thread

And that brings us (gee it doesnt seem like a years work) to last monday...

we finally got it all masked up




and hit it all with the one colour - high fill

im really happy with the result so far

so now we have seen which sections need extra work etc with it all in one colour. We need to go back over the car and fix up all the little spots

hopefully we can hit it with some colour in the next few weeks!

thats all for now, i will go back and add some photos when i get my hands on them and will also keep updating as things progress

im thinking getting all the little bolt ons right before i assemble is going to be half the battle. i have a lot of plans for the interior which will develop over time also

at the moment the car has full running gear in it still, when i am finished the re-spray and reassemble i will look into rebuilding the a15ett to fit it in also (with engine bay re-spray at same time)

where did you get the flares?

Looks good so far!

it doesnt look like on orange anymore and its not as rough as a cats tounge :)
looking good can u ask andrew if he'll spray mine next :)

thanks, flares are from JTS in NSW somewhere, had them for years and years as they were on my red coupe (bolted on) they were about $220 the set back then, dont know if they still do them or price

unfamilia had the affectionate name "sandpaper" for the car cause it was "a bit rough", i contemplated taking the front gaurds off and using them to sand the rest of the car

i no would have been cheaper than all those flapper disks :) good old rub,prime,and spray outside in like less than a day and thats wat happens :) i should no i had a hand in doin it :) :) :)
