crack must be cheap over there aye..

yeh thats the cash i have set aside for anything i cant do myself.....

"just because it took you 100 hrs at home to the bodywork doesent mean its worth 5000"

i am hella confused, u dont make sense aye.

i was saying that if you were to get someone to do it it will cost like 5grand.... its not an unreasonable price..... sure u can do a dodge job and do the old bog it and flog it..

i wont even bother, just scratch up another thread trashed to death by bailz and co.

haha bailz i realy wish i didnt bought that coupe

thats odd...

same caliper, 200b is much different

thats odd, they have 200b brake pads and 200b disks and the calipers are the same as 1980 200b... i dunno what they are then.. must be 350z?

"bailz does all he work him self from paint to engine rebuilds"

pepper Quote "sorry perthute, it was bailz himself who said he paid 5k to get rust removed"

wtf i didnt pay anyone to do rust repairs, if you were to take your car to someone and ask for a complete rust free shell... theres no way you could get change outta 5 grand! sand blast... it wouldnt take long to spend more than 100 hours of work on a rusted datto....

thats not inclusing parts etc...

dunno how much you fellas earn on that side of aus but over here you would be lucky to get anyone to touch it for less than 50 an hour.

well you failed there, because it is no comparison to the 'standard' i would have hoped for. but being a novice painter, it makes no surprise it was far from perfect and ill be the first to admit it. id be 'happy' with a paintjob that didnt have the faults mine had.
so just because it didnt come out quite well, it sure doesent meet the "standard" i had hoped for, and ill know where to do better next time.
im sure next time , with an easier colour to paint, it may just come out ok.
but ill let you be the judge of that.


my point is, there is a big difference between 4ltrs of mission brown and a paint roller and calling it a day when the sun goes down, or giving it a go and learning by trial and error.

CA18DET with 5-speed, full wiring harness and ECU is only $1350 delivered to your door in USA.

wat was this thread about again lol

and pepper i said u might of been happy ..... i was trying to show how people have different standards and inturn different build cost's $$$ but it didnt sit well with you ooo well
