[SRVLIVES]

I dig the idea of black wheels with chrome nuts.
Are you going to paint the roof Metalflake Lime?

Ahhh, someone's been peeking.  8)

Car will be getting a respray, oughtta keep the colour to myself for bit.

[SRVLIVES]

Some progress today...





...I oghtta get a job at this panel shop, I did more today in 4 hours than they've done in 9 months???

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

That's the way SRV, I got a bit worried when you put it up for sale.
I would suggest removing the car from said "panel shop", I have been in the same situation and tolerated it for 2 years before pulling the car out. The best panel work I ever had done was by a guy working on Saturdays at peoples places, he did the work and we settled at the end of the day. When I had more money I would call him for another Saturday.
Plus, with the car at home you can apply Harko's 20 minute rule.

BTW, are you going to do the lime metalflake roof?

[SRVLIVES]

Yeah, it was only financial that I put it up for sale, I told myself I was only listing it once, if it didn't sell, then I'd keep it.

I've only removed the panels from the driver's side, was really quite easy seeing as every third bolt was missing!!!

Spoke to the shop owner (my stepfather  ::) ) this afternoon about it and told him as the car is up against the paint wall I will wait 'til they've finished the driver's side before moving it... though if I get time before I have to go to back to work next Thursday I may go down, take off the rest, and bring the lot home and prep it here.

As it looks like it'll all be going back to bare metal, I was toying with the idea of reversing the colours of that Chevy in my sig.... whatcha think?

[customFC]

AHHHH lots of progress.....nice to see.
No turning back now  :D
Good luck with the project.
The blues would be cool.

Alex

[SRVLIVES]

New sill fitted





Burple wheels



Things are moving at a frantic pace now! :o

[customFC]

Hey SRV.
Moving right along.
Some great progress, and not too many surprises.
What colour is the car going to be with those purple wheels?
Regards
Alex

[SRVLIVES]

Some great progress, and not too many surprises

Few pinholes along the front edge of the bonnet, couple dents along the top of the driver's guard and filler in the boot. Surprises come when I do the doors.

What colour is the car going to be with those purple wheels?

Alex

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

Green is nice!  ;D

[SRVLIVES]

Thanks for the replies guys, glad to see others are interested in my progress.

Been meaning to ask Harko, what's the 20 minute rule?

[HARKO]

Keep a list of jobs that need to be completed on your car (No matter how big or small)
And every day spend 20 mins minimum in the shed .
If you dont feel like doing anything - pick a small job.

In the long run it can get you miles ahead without even noticing, and builds up the magical motivation factor

[collecta]

Great rule Harko.
 Im going to have to apply that to myself, been a bit unmotivated lately.
cheers

[SRVLIVES]

Brilliant idea Harko! Your wisdom exceeds your years... but, um... is it all right to take more than 20 minutes to do the list!!? ::)

[TAYZ]

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

You need to change your name to "teaser", first the ebay blower then this, or should it be Phantom Jnr?  :P
