PROJECT SDC

Must say for someone who has not sprayed before you are doing a bloody decent job, like the way your garage is always tidy, painting is a messy job. How do you manage to do this type of work in a complex? must have good neighbours 😂
This is one of my favourite threads. who does your powder coating by the way and how are their prices?
Cheers

THANKS ANT! I KNOW AS I HAVE TO CLEAN THE WHOLE GARAGE BEFORE
& AFTER I PAINT SO ITS A BEAACH SOMETIMES.
MY COMPLEX IS RELAXED, LUCKALLY IM IN THE FAR CORNER & NO ONE IS
RIGHT UP AGAINST ME SO THAT HELPS!
I TAKE MY POWDER COATING TO PRO COAT IN HONEYDEW, THEY DO A
DECENT JOB & THEY DONT PRICE TO BAD, ALL THE POWDERCOATED
STUFF IN MY LAST POST COST LIKE R550.00 WHICH AINT BAD I THINK!
UNFORTUNATELY MY TREAD IS GOING TO BE A BIT QUIET AS I MOVED
TO A NEW HOUSE SO JUST BARE WITH ME, ILL MAKE SOME PROGRESS & POST WHEN I CAN.
AT THE MOMENT IM JUST SETTLING IN, PUTTING UP GATES FOR MY
PITT BULLS & SORTING THE GARAGE. I WILL ADD, MY NEW GARAGE WILL
HAVE A STOCKED BAR FRIDGE, SO WHEN ALL IS SORTED IM LIVING THERE TILL THE CAR IS DONE!

Thanks, I will check them out as they are just up the road from me, all the best with the house, much better than in a complex.

any updates

besides fitting a couple of things like the dash brace, etc. & painting the boot
matt black, no real progress, the boot came out awesome though, will post
some pics when i get a chance!

hmmm, updates?

FINNISHED SETTING UP MY NEW GARAGE. WILL MAKE SOME PROGRESS SOON.
JUST A QUICK GENERAL QUESTION.... THE INTERIOR TRIM PIECES, SHOULD I COVER IT WITH SUADE OR CARBON FIBRE? WHAT YOU GUYS THINK?

depends on what you want to use the car for.

ITS A FULL ON DRIFT CAR, BUT SOME OF THE PLASTIC TRIM PIECES ARE GOING BACK BUT IT LOOKS UGLY SO I WANT TO RECOVER IT.

well then go with easy to wipe / clean surfaces. Although i think your car's going to be to pretty to drift.. IMO 🙂

carbon fiber, it'll suite the "race car" theme.

WHAT ABOUT COMPLETELY STRIPPED? IVE DONE ALL THE EFFORT TO PAINT IT PERFECTLY INSIDE. DO I REALY NEED TO COVER IT?
HMMMMMM.......???????

well if you're going for full on.. then fully stripped is the way! although i pussy'd out at removing the door cards on my sx.. but Everything else is gone.

dude the car is coming along verry nicely,by far the most complete rebuild on this site.your workmanship is impecable, but your patiance( and your wifes)is to the max,i just dont have the patiencs for the full monty, congrats man, cant wait to see the final product,let us know what the cost is on the final product,if you want heheheh

nice!

Hey Wes... first things first:

second... freakin sweet paint job... what colour is the rest of the car gonna be painted? why is only the roof black?

sory, im a lazy typer! 😳
im not sure as to the rest of the paint, but i have a good idea on what i
want to do! the roof is black coz its a two tone paint job. the bonnet &
headlight covers will be the same colour aswell.
you guys will see the finnished result december!

only in December? come bro, I remember seeing this thing in your garage ready for spraying like a year ago! Pull finger mate! 🙂

any updates here.

nice booobies
