bellicose 9 Report post Posted May 5, 2012 This turned up today from the Bay of Plenty. As you see it is how it arrived...........but give me a couple of weeks and ya won't recognise it. Little bit of panel work & a respray in Cirrusblau & she'll be sweet. Will keep updating as i go. Oh, yes that black roof IS going away haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allanw 1072 Report post Posted May 5, 2012 Lucky bugger - everything I try to paint looks arse afterwards... although I once painted a Suzuki Super Carry that looked pretty good after. I have to Pint my VW van soon, but I'll prolly do it white - easy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bellicose 9 Report post Posted May 23, 2012 Finally had some decent weather so made progress in last couple days. Stupid phone camera pic's make the colour look grey & grainy, but it certainly is Cirrusblau. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nath 134 Report post Posted May 29, 2012 Well done; you really have saved a car. Terrible matt paint jobs like it had just keep it in progressively worse ownership until soon after it is wrecked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted January 1, 2014 Little bit of a thread dig here but bloody hell, what a transformation. Going by looks alone, it's value just rose by $4k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2136 Report post Posted January 2, 2014 on that note, definately recommend John to any new members for any panel work to be done, had a few bits painted by him over the years, always a great job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
