check out the photo from the front (click on it to enlarge)

the pearl is very evident across the centre line of the bonnet

it will see daylight once it's all been put together, and i will get more photos

hopefully on the long weekend, next weekend

Well i have achieved a lot over the last two weeks

the car is 90% back together and i took it for a few hour drive up the mountains today

absolutely stoked

will dump a bunch of photos in the next couple of posts when they finish uploading

got a fair bit of appreciation from randoms on the street too, really worth it now

main things still to do is to fit bumpers and door handles (currently at powdercoaters)

otherwise there is a bunch of other little things like interior light, sun visors etc which i need to finish off

although i still have a long way to go with re-trimming interior and then i start on the engine bay

anyways let me know what you think of the exterior when the photos are up???

oh yeah it hasnt been cut yet so it xhould come up a bit better still once thats done

first and last shot were taken with a different camera in better light and show the colour/pearl better

to show the difference the pearl makes though...

here is my road and rally car both painted with the same orange base coat but the road car has the gold pearl over the top

Credit where credits due, Some nice panel and paint work there.

those wheels are no were near wide enough for those flares. get some wide 13s or 14s so that the flares are actually doing something

Awesome effort I say.

So when you use the term 'cut' do you mean the ulra-fine rub-down and buff? Maybe a decent layer of clear after that?

I'd never own a car that bright but I do admire that orange. Nice work! The flares are tops.

Sorry, I think this post may push it over to a new page.... if it does I'll attach your pics again.

so the car does match the hair.... good job mic, get some wider rims. those dont do the car justice

what size tyres would i put on these fatter rims? the car is not heavy enough for fatter tyres in my opinion
the justification for the flares is the wider stance at the front and h190 diff

when i say cut i am just reffering to cut and polish/buff, there is plenty of clear on it so we will be cutting some of that back to give a super smooth finish
