Sorry why would you sell that completely lush Sunny wagon to make way for a project on the E36 318 BMW....what happened to your brain...is it away on holidays. BMWs are total crap, go slow and are expensive...and you will have no support as the guys on those forums are no helpful at all. I dont know.....

Its quite simple really.
When painting in a spray booth, you have limited room to stand back and look at the car. You also only have fluro lights.
Different shade primers actually help you see how well the paint is covering. If you can still see colour differences in the top coat, obviously it hasn't covered well and needs more coats.
How many cars do you see on the road with fancy but patchy paint.
Fancy paint makes it even harder to see in the booth. 2 or 3 shades of primer is all thats needed to make it more noticable.

Greg,
That is a GREAT looking wagon. The attention to detail really shows. That's going to be a great driver.

I have a 1200 Coupe and a Chevy panel van (commercial type w/ no windows) and i think the wagon would be the perfect happy medium. (economy with capacity to haul stuff around)

I really like the subtle mods you've done and the color is lookiing nice, too. People will see you coming for miles!

Very, very nice.

hey phunk - what is the idea behind using differents shades of primer?

well it has been a while since i updated you all but here you go, my heart changed and i sold my BMW to keep the datsun, and here are the latest photos...

Motor is in, along with all the brake booster/lines etc, all engine wiring is in and everything else in the bay is in, also the gearbox and tailshaft are now back in, all the door handles on the inside and door rubbers are in and the dash pad aswell, and all the windows are in all professionally glued etc...



















and ill keep you all updated the more it progresses.

cheers,
Greg
