Finally, 2 years after my car rolled into the panel shop

Featured Replies

NEVER tell a panel beater to take his time. 23 months in the making.

Now the fun part, puting it all back together :) So much more money to spend. Only problem with new paint is everything else has to be brought up to standard.

Man I love my JDM tail lights :)

PM me if you have a bonnet popping cable or some extractors. Thanks to my fellow ANZACS I already have a mint dash top from Melbourne.

FINALY!!! ive learnt the rule never ever tell a panel shop to take their time,

because they will, all of it!

Its looking really nice, Kind of sad its not blue anymore tho :(

Yeah I still think about the blue, trouble is it was not a factory colour, no one WORLD WIDE could find me a picture or real life example of the "metallic light blue" factory colour. I am real anal about factory colours and white was cheapest and in my opinion looks the nicest. Mind you the more I see the pale yellow the more I like that too......

Mmmm thats a big jigsaw puzzle i will be doing the same puzzle in the next 12 months LOL. Looks good tho.

Your car looks great!;)

The other phrase to never use when making a deal with the panel shop is "Work it in as you can". Fifty two months and counting.:ermm: Almost ready for paint!:love:

Please help if you can, I NEED some of the clips that sit inside the horizontal chrome strip that goes on the edge of the boot.

I need 4 of the central ones and 1 of the end ones (end ones have a tab with a hole in it where a screw holds it to the boot lid.)

I checked my part number catalogue and they don't seem to have a seperate number from the boot chrome itself.
