Yeah, i have been working solid 7-8hr days on the hatch... It is coming along well... I have a few ideas planned to make the car go a lil bit better as well... But i will be keeping them hush hush...

I spoke to makka tonight. He has just moved to Melbourne and cant access the internet at his new place yet. He is heading back to Bendigo on the weekend to fix his Uni's and hopefully bring his car back to Melbourne... But who knows what dirty tricks he has planned! But he is now a poor first year apprentice! So i hope he has saved up some money to spend on the torana!!!

Well if you start putting things back together rather than pulling things apart....................that would help! :blink:

The engine bay can be done in a weekend after the rest. :<_<:

Yeah cool man. No nit picking intended, just constructive critisism. I want this thign to look great to.

Next time you spray try opening the fan on your gun up more, increase the air pressure, and thin the paint more. Usualy with acrylic i spray the first few coats with 100-120% thinners, untill you cant see through it. Then sneak in more thinners, do another coat with around 150%, then when your happy do a final coat with around 200%, big fan, and move the gun a bit faster. You will be amazed how it will come up man. Also make sure you get a 50% overlap on each pass through all the coats.

Cheers.

Thanks for the tips mate! I did try thinning my clear coats more this time, and noticed a big difference! Hopefully next time i wont be doing it myself, and i can afford to pay someone else to do it! I was struggling for time to do this one, and i only finished uni a few months back, now im in full time work, earning good money! So its great!
