Hi Ho Hi Ho its only four weeks to go. ::)

Bloody hell Craig talk about the last minute rebuild, but by the looks a job being well done and a credit to yourself and the rellies.

See you at the Nats.

By the way are you going to drive the new Poo up or ship it in a toilet roll(Truck)?

it looks clean and very nice,but why on earth are you spending this kind of money and painting baby sh*t brown when there is such a huge selection of two tone colours available

[RET]

Oh, Nicko, don't go there.  You will bring down upon your head the great wrath of the Poo-Mobile Club, a splinter group of the forum users who (like the "Grey Is A Colour, Why Are People So Unkind" crowd) are devoted to maintaining the original colour of their cars, despite the fact that certain fashions have moved on and a good thing too.

There are colour gangs in here and you don't want to stray into their turf.  Whatever you do don't start in on how you feel about Grey now. Learn from Napoleon and Hitler: never engage in a war on two fronts ;D

Nicko,

Colours are a very personal choice. I have owned the car for nearly 20 years in it's original Poo Colours, and believe it or not, I quite like it.  On this forum there are some guys who like originality, and some guys who like to modify. I'm somewhere in between, hence the red motor power, and thought's of lowering, but I would never change the colour.

Now leaving a car painted in grey primer and trying to polish it up: I'd never go there!!!!!  ;D

Cheers,

Craig.

P.S Paint job is a freebie courtesy of a brother who owns a spraypainters, so no big dollars spent or IMHO, wasted

Lookin' good Craig,
I'd come over and give you a hand to re-assemble but it'd be a bit of a drive for me after any late nights.
Who's a lucky boy having a painter in the family? and hey - there's no such thing as a bad colour on FE's or FC's.
Good luck at the Nats.
cheers,
Leigh

[craiga]

Thanks Leigh.

Can't wait to get back there this afternoon and see it all painted.

I'll keep posting photos of the Poo rebuild: it's like a baby s*&t brown version of Days of Our Lives  ;)

Cheers,

Craig.

Craig,
Lookin good.How lucky can you be to have a spray painter as a brother,hey maybe he could specialise in painting FE/FC's.Maybe we could reproduce the GMH painting line!!!!!!!! Now there's a thought.

Cheers,
Graham

      GREY


      Grotesque
      Repulsive
      Eccentric
      Yawn

[nicko]

i really didn't mean to insult you,
 but having a brother with own hi tech spray booth is even more reason to try some of the new colors out there,
by the way i do think it looks bloody nice as any car does with perfect panels and paint.i take my hat off too you for the effort you must have put into minor panel imperfections as i just would not have the patience

[RET]

Nicko,

You just don't get it.  Craig's car came out of the GM-H factory painted Corsair Tan and India Ivory, and that's the way he wants it to stay.  The originality is important to him (not to mention changing the colour means a new interior as well).

It's easy to say "try some of the new colors out there" when it's not you doing all the hard work rubbing back, preparing etc etc.  Especially if you don't have the patience for it. :-/

What "new colour" did you have in mind?  Tiger Mica?  That Candy-Apple Vomit colour that new Falcons come in? That would be a criminal act.

You mightn't mean to be insulting, but your first post sure came across that way.
