For a spray can job that came up remarkably well, Nicely done!

Thanks homs. I wanted to do see whats the best a spray job with a can up to date. Stuff the excuse of spray angle and pressure and spitting paint blobs...make the best effort with what you got...thats what I go by. She came out quite awwrrrite for a rough job . ??. I will make a video soon to show how easy it is. 

2 Zimbabwean Dollars to the winner...

^ wanna come and do mine?

 

Sure brru....get some paint...an a few clear cans....and a set of tein adjusties for mee therrrtysix...and deals done homs☺☺☺ 

Hi to yer   ...

Any know why are certain roll cages made this way ...? Is it for a strenght feature or for passengers to get in and out...? Or seat reclining...? 

Woudnt the red one be better..?

$22 for 3 clear coat cans & about 15 for sanding sheets, masking tape and some filler with +-8 hrs of work ...oh dont forget the help of a heat gun ..?

...start each clear coat with a new can for max pressure ???

L72(6.0lt Ls2 variant) in the Ute sounds wild. Not deep enough as I'd prefer it...but close.

Ideal exhaust note that suits the owner.

A V8 awakening when fired up...gets abit quiter when the catts close up...then a roar when revd...and crackles on deceleration...freakin lovely!!!???

Got some mild headers. Performance cats and modified the stock V6 exhaust. 

....the 36 will definitely roar more...and with 2 exhaust catback valves....Yea boi!!

Managed to get a 245 40 17 isom.for the LR.

Prept her up for some bogg primer paint and clear for tomorrow. Few rust spots on the bonnet?.

Looks a good score.

You have the ability to get some of your money back on the parts you take out too.

Thanks brru...yeah and hmmm?hopes for a boosted M50 in my E39?

A colour coded can came with the car so I am going to do a quick spray on the Lf guard R door and boot lid just for the re vin. The gears were abit stiff and saw that the slave had a wee bit too much off moisture around it. 

The list gets longer but  things do get ticked off...

Had me a set of BBS Rk002s 18×8.5 et13s ...think shed be the perfect candidate at this moment in time for them...dont you think....? 215/40/18...

Detailed inspection after a full degrease and wash up....as one would do.

Bought her. Rego lapsed. M50b25. Manual. Nz new.3,15 Lsd???. No sunroof?. Some sort of headers, no cats and a free flowing exhaust that sounds freakin sweet. What a pleasure to drive!! Plan is to get her re vin'd. Use her for abit, shave the kak off her and chuck the Ls in late Jan . ....?...

Ok...cool brru. Let me do some research.

We have a 3.27 Holden diff. I thought about getting another subframe and modifying to fit with custom sideshafts...but then again...$$$$$

210 all the way - do it once do it right.

Talk to Kayne Barrie, he will advise the best option within your budget.

Hi Beemer homies

I did purchase an aux input but there are no inputs at the rear of the head unit as instucted...anyone modified to fit it..?

Hi Brrus.

Here are a few options for my rear end of the Ls into e39 conv:

Import a e39 M5 diff from ebay or South Africa and source out sideshafts...but the risk is there..

Or

Buy a 210 mm diff and fit a 4.1 ratio and a lsd center...sideshafts too..

Or 

Lsd my one which would eventually break..

Any advice...

HI Beemer brrus..

36-m50b25

46-m54b30

Gear lever location? Etc..

Assembly list 101.

Hoping to start the engine by Thursday just to hear it roar...???

Wow those brakes are so much bigger than the old ones

Yea man..

F. 295 to 365mm

R. 300 to 345mm

The rears backing plates too small and the shoes sit at 8mm deeper so either a mod or a hub replacement ...?

......

Finally we caught the ute in the workshop ....
