The this is where things turned stupid!!!!!!
) =))
) =)) I had it in my head i wanted to go over the car in Matt white plasti dip, just to make it my own car.
So heads to paint supplier near by and its not something they stock........
But for some stupid reason i get talked into 13 tins of Kawasaki Green rattle cans they had kicking about YUP YOU GUESSED IT DISASTER STRUCK
Not one tin was the same shade of green and having rattle canned one side i was past the point of return.... Looked awful.
So off to Halfrauds to pick up some cheap as possible white paint by now a full bodyshop paint was in the budget i had ended up spending on rubbish.
I had two days to go till Driftland weather had turned bad and not enough paint to do the car..........
Out came the Homebase white gloss and roller to get the car to at least one colour... It looks horendous and is now booked in with a mate to get a full car paint.
But i cant fault the car. hammered it all day and it just kept wanting more great Sunday lots of Skids and only broken part was my new roof that was rivoted on rather quickly was popping off in places hahaha

Some Pics from Sunday
Well back bobbing about out at sea for another couple of weeks so thought i would update with the changes to the car when i was home last trip and a few pics of me drifting.,
PLans for the car when i was back was basically give it a wash and do a skid. Still got the slr kit and bc coilovers to fit ended up with two sets so trying to sell the others on.
Anyway never got a chance to fit the kit as the day i was along at the yard, my painter buddy in the yard next door kept making a point of the mess the car looked on the outside.....
So a decision was made with only 24 hours till the next drift even madness!!!!
So 11.30 am on the Thursday this happened
Car was stripped down quickly and spent up till about 5pm rubbing it down, we were not looking for a flawless paint job mearly a blow over
Car was all masked up and in the booth by 6pm
and by 7.30pm the car was in paint
Added a few extra little touches with parts i had kicking about like the m3 bumper and mirrors just to freshen the car up and also wheels were wipped off and giving a fresh paint.
by 9.30pm the day was done but was chuffed with the results.
Next morning it was build up time which left us with this
So Saturday morning arrived of the driftland weekender and car was mega as usual only faults were the welded viscous fan hit the radiator so two radiators and viscous fans used over the weekend and a burst exhaust manifold but who care amazing weekend.
