  1. Nothing fancy just MIPPA orange straight out the can... We wanted something bright as f**k and when Mikko @ MP Smash gave me the sample i was impressed with how bright it was. So yeah we'll see how it goes this weekend! Didnt want some fancy orange ie metallic as its a bit more $$ and harder to paint (more required). Plus base, then clear, more effort. Solid orange just goes straight on. Plus when we scratch it, the freshly painted panels will match the old ones haha!
  2. Its been a while but now we have a little bit of progress! On the weekend we got the grinder out with the wire wheel attached and picked up all the little bits of tar and sealer left on the inside, and cleaned the entire inside of the car. We scuffed all shiny parts of the inside to make sure the paint sticks well. I also finished rubbing the engine bay ready for paint. Just a quick one with Scotchbrite again to get rid of the shiny bits. We dropped the front subby out to avoid masking and plus well do some small mods to it before it goes back in Russell also got the A and B pillar braces ready for the completion of the cage, ive yet to have the cool looking holes stamped out of them yet though. I sourced a Dashboard bar from a dude from NS for $5, and had that fitting into the car fairly easily, as I was worried the dash bar of the cage would be in the way (we forgot about that!) but it was sweet as. Excitingly, we made a cool purchase last night: a set of brand new Ichiba 5 Stud conversion hubs for the front end! A bargain from NS at $250. Very cheap way out of getting a 5 Stud on the front of the car. This will also go well with our R33 rear hub assemblies. I will be heading to MP Smash this week to pick up the awesome bright orange paint, along with some etch primer for the cage and bare metal spots - paint dun stick to bare metal unfortunately! We will begin prep this Saturday, finish up the welding, and hopefully have everything primed by the end of the day. Hopefully. All going well we'll be blowing some colour into the interior and engine bay Sunday! Pics to follow if all goes well!
