Title: The Old Girl Gets A New Look Post by: FC_UTE_BEN on May 04, 2009, 10:46:44 AM I've been driving around for the last 5 years not happy with how the old girl looks. Have been to more pannelbeaters than i can remember trying to get prices on pannel and paint. 95% of the time it was "Na mate only do insurance work". The other 5% was "we're to busy" or far to expensive.
So i thought I'd have a crack at it myself took 9 days full time.I did get some shots of during the job but somehow delieted them :P The colour is Barbados Green. From the HQ GTS. Before....

At least she looks a little bit more respectable now....... Title: Re: The Old Girl Gets A New Look Post by: REDMR2RED on May 04, 2009, 10:56:23 AM WOW!!!! :o :o :o That is a dramatic change. Congratulations on the panel and paint job, looks great in the pics. Would have liked to see the inbetween photos.
Looks like you've done the inside as well, any pics of there. Red Title: Re: The Old Girl Gets A New Look Post by: EffCee on May 04, 2009, 11:05:34 AM Well Done, Great job, do you have any photo's of the build up.
I suppose if it took 9 Days then you might not have had a chance to take any photo's. Amazing effort! Title: Re: The Old Girl Gets A New Look Post by: FC_UTE_BEN on May 04, 2009, 11:39:07 AM I took heaps. I emailed them to some friends i'll see if they still got them on file. If so i'll get them back and post.
