OK..Cut to the chase...when I picked No.1 up...I was a little dissapointed with what I put on the truck..MRNOS has his own demons at the moment to deal with..he is getting through that stuff...he gave me a cut/polish lesson...all of 2 minutes....huge time span for me..I have an attention span of about 30 secs.
I got home...cleaned the buff compound off..well..most of it..that brown shit does hang around...then had a sleepless night on what to do next...so bounced out Sat arvo...hooked into it with Meguiers..and bugger me...there is a car under there!
Then the more I did..the more started to shine...
Well the end result?..Stunning...the pics dont do it justice..
Evil and AGGRO...Get to Mt Cootha to see it...
Need to do a bit on both 1 and 2 on the roof but thats easy...
So...MRNOS...thanks for all the hard work..the rubbing down bit...the rest?..We are under control.
And....you will shit your pants at Mt Cootha.

If you do the rollcage right it negates the need for stick welding the body...so I am told....current cage design takes all that away....see No.1 car.
