Ha! Ha! Love it! It's giving me incentive and brings back memories of painting cars in a weekend.
I've been planning to give my old Rangie a "mask 'n' blast" or "jam job" over the summer. Like yours, it just drags my tools around and tows the race car occasionally. It's lucky if it does 3000klms a year. :spoton:

sand up to 800 wet prepsol and and paint(i thought you'd done this)
i think you can apply the stickers beore the clear or are the a stencil?
and josh yours was a efi conversion with only half the bits that's y it took/taking ages
i was saying a normal v8 convert can be done in a weekend if you have all your bits ready
not my fault you want a odd ball box behind the frigging thing and no one wants to do the work required

Hey Barry,

I think I may have stuffed up when I sent you the headlight buckets,

Let me know if there are two left inners or two right inners etc

If you dont have a full set (market LO LI RI RO) let me know and I'll bring the right ones to toranafest for you (are you coming this year?)
